I am free of fever but feel utterly wretched. I am 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 pur estate. If you I used Johnson*.

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.
