Jusi 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

I always feel sorry for the family that is wedded to the plan of subjecting
themselves to the Quinine treatment. J s
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 lias a wonderful record of 17 years of success. 000 cases out of every
1000 are promptly cured, and the 1000th case can be easily cured by doubling
the dose and taking k a little oftener.
Johnson’s Tonio 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 nnd unfailing in its results.
It will cure. It will cure every time. It will cure every case of Fever. It
will cure any type of /ever.
It is the one great medicine that seldom disappoints.
Don t trifle with Fever. If allowed to run, it is like n 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, nud poison
your digestion with Quinine, and arise finally with all the life and vim takeu
out of you, or use Johnson’s Tonic and he restored at once to perfect health.
No loss of vital force. No loss of flesh. No waste of precious time. Take your
choice ' »

last 24 hours the aspect of the flood
situation In Texas has grown bright*
The heavy rains have ceased
throughout the' greater portion of the
state and the water has begun to
cede in all the rivers and creeks. If
the fair weather continues, gome of
the Texas railroads will begin run
ning their trains on time today, while
regular traffic will be re-established on
others within three or four days.
The Cotton Belt tracks are washed
out for 2GG feet Just west of Brandon.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas
bridge at Hillsboro has been repaired,
and trains were run over it yesterday,
although the track is still in bad con
dition.
The International and Great North
ern road has resumed traffic north ol
Palestine. The damage done to the
property of that road Is said to be very
great. Nearly 1.000 feet of their
track is washed out at Richland creek,
and as much more at White Rock
creek, besides many smaller washouts.
Dallas was visited by another heavy
downpour early yesterday. Trinity
river Is considerably over its banks in
many places, but little damage is re
ported.
>:as and Pacific railroad officials
state that the situation at Big Springs
is*~mueh improved, and unless there
is mere heavy rain they expect to re
sume operations today or tomorrow.
The body of Mrs. J. G. Elliott, viho
was drowned at Hillsboro Friday, has,
been recovered.
Mr. Hardy, who attempted to
cross a swollen creek at Elm Springs,
was drowned. This makes five drown*
ings which have been reported as a

and Two Prisoners.

Fred Ennis and John McQuIg, and
Sentry William Treet, of Company M,
Twenty-first Infantry, who Whs guard
ing them, have disappeared from Fort
Sheildan and no trace of the missing
men has been found.
Searching parties sent out In every
direction have scoured the woods and
ravines, hut have failed to secure a
elew.
Whether the guard has deserted
with Ills prisoners, or whether the
sentry was overpowered by Ills charged
and lies in some deserted spot gagged
and bound, or perhaps murdered, Is .»
matter for conjecture, although the
trustworthiness of the soldier is
ground for the belief that an encoun
ter occurred.
