AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER. twenty-fourth tear, AMERICUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1902. NUMBER 12 TAKE. YOUR CHOICE I used Quinine for 10 days. I am free of fever hut feel utterly wretched. I am Jwi take your choice. An attack of Fever at this time of year, with Quinine as the treat ment, means a week or ten days lost from Busi ness. It means ten days of unhappiness for you and ten days of hard work and anxiety for those who love you. This is putting it in its very happiest aspect. It might mean your death, and it often means a breakdown in general health from which some recuperate very slowly. If you are a rich man your time is worth much to your estate. If you me is ■' ' COCKE COES TO TRAP WITH OAffl ON LIPS Double Execution at Green* ville, Miss. WITNESSED BY THOUSANDS, hours. Never felt better my life. Did not lose ounce In weight Can are a poor man, your time is worth much more to your family. The rich man might better afford to suffer a loss of $100.00 a day, as a result from en forced absence from business than the poor man can lose the value of his labor. .. “r* men-nch or poor-are stupid to lose 10 days when 24 to 48 hours is the limit of time required to put them in good condition by Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic. I always feel sorry for the family that Is wedded to the plan of subjecting themselves to the Quinine treatment. The process is slow. The result uncertain. The treatment disappointing. Johnson’s Tonic has two cardinal points that should immediately commend it to every thinking man in this country. First of all, it.is harmless. Absolutely harmless. Harmless under all cir cumstances.* " Second, it is quick; it acts at once. In 30 minutes after its administration, it enters the blood and begins to undo the mischief caused by Malaria. .It has a wonderful record of 17 years of success. 999 cases out of every 1000 are promptly cured, and the 1000th case can be easily cured by doubling the dose and taking it a little oftener. Johnson’s Tonic is a wonderful medicine. It is not mere merchandise. It Is superb. No remedy in the whole domain of Materia Medica is more positive In its action and unfailing in its results. It will cure. It will cure every time. It will cure every case of Fever, will cure any type of fever. It is the one great medicine that seldom disappoints. Don't trifle with Fever. -If allowed to run, it is like a house allowed to burn—it will consume you. Use Johnson’s Tonic. Use nothing else. Now, take your choice. Lie in bed for days, or maybe weeks, and poison your digestion with Quinine, and arise finally with all the life and vim taken out of you, or use Johnson’s Tohio and be restored at once to perfect health. No loss of vital force. No loss of flesh. No waste of precious time. Take your choice A. & GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
