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 as]>ect. It
might mean your death,
and it oftou means n
breakdown in go-nernl
health from which some
recuperate very' slowly.
If you are a rich man
your time is wortii much

The process is slow. The result uncertain. The treatment disappointing.
Johnson s Tonic has two cardinal points that should immediately commlnd
1! to every thinking man in this country.
First of all, it is liarmless. Absolutely harmless. Harmless under all cir
hi instances. •
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 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. 1 *
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. It
will cure any type of fever.
It isthe one great medicine that seldom disappoints.
Don't trifle with Fever. If allowed to run, it is like a house allowed to
bum—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 Tontc anil be restored at once to perfect health.

Senate Prepares Way For
Circulating $85,000,000.
HOUSE BILL IS APPROVED.
President Palma Will Be Authorized
to Borrow $35,000,000 In American
Gold and lesue National Thirty-Year
5 Per Cent Bonds In Six Months.
New York, Aug. 4.—Tho first impor
tant work of the Cuban congress is ap
proaching a conclusion after a sitting
of a little more than two months. Ai
Saturday night's session or the sen
ate the way was prepared for 'circulat
ing $35,000,000 throughout the Island
by substantially approving the bouse
bill for the circulation of tills amount.
The money, it Is believed, will have
the effect of relieving considerably
the present crisis. The Cuban con
gress considers it advisable to aid the
sugar planters’ pending efforts to ob
tain reciprocity at the next session ot
the American congress. The neces
sity is also recognized of paying the
debts contracted by the Cuban junta
of New York, In aid of the last revolu
tion and to pay the Iih<jjgtlng army.
Authority has been g^itod for the
appointment of a commission to fix
and pay the amount due the army.
General Maximo Gomez probably will
be chairman.
President Palma will he authorized
to borrow $35,000,000 in American
gold and Issue national 30-year 5 per
cent bonds within six months. Four
million dollars will be applied to the
aid of the cane growers and the agri
cultural and cattle Industry generally.
The money will be loaned at the rate
of 50 cents for every 2,500 pounds of
sugar grown in tho last crop. The
money is to be repaid ln February.
March or April of next year, drawing
per cent interest. The bondholders
will have the custom house receipts as
guarantee for the repaymoht of the
$4,000,000. President Palma will be
authorized to increase the tariff du
ties on certain articles accordingly.
The rest of the $35,000,000 loan will
be used for the payment of debts con
tracted by the New York junta to sup
port the revolution, amounting to
about $3,000,000, also for payment of
the services of the army, amounting
to $23,000,000.
To bring this loan within the terms
of the Platt amendment and other pro
visions of the Cuban constitution, the
present congress, before adjourning,
will provide a way to pay Interest and
will establish a sinking fund to re
deem the principal. This probabjy
will be done by means of a stamp tax.
Any balance of the loan will be ap
plied to agriculture at tho discretion
of congress.
The foregoing has been substantial
ly approved by congress, only the de
tails remaining for discussion, which
will begin Monday In public sessions.
It Is believed such a loan can be
negotiated and taken care of without
great difficulty. It will be Cuba’s
only national debt. Business depres
sion In the towns and poverty ln the
country are not decreasing. There
have been 128 buslnesa failures In the
last 12 months, against 23 the year

Minneapolis asking them to send him
several children (or a summer's out

from them in ease he should want to

Mr. and Mrs. Shandrow are devout
Methodists, and an amusing sight was
enacted when they discovered that
