The meanest kind of sickness is just to b" able to attend to duties and yet not reel equal to the task. The eternal grind keeps many in the traces who ought to be in bed.

Gives a splendid appetite. Renews strength and restores vitality. Office of J. li. LASSITER. „ . „ Hkndbonviu.e, 8. C, Sept 2, 3896. Mr. A. B. Girardeau, Savannah, Ga. Hear Sir:—Some years ago I operated a float ing saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base of operations was being constantly changed, and my hands were always exposed to the worst malarial influences. I employed over one hundred hands, and the work was conducted as lunch in water as out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem ber there was great loss of time and business, on account of sickness among the workers. My attention was then called tp Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic, and T determined to give the medicine a trial. I procured it, and those, who were sick were put on this treatment, and those who were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic. In a short time every one of the one hundred hands was well and reported for duty; and from that time on I used nothing else bnt Johnson’s Tonic, and never had another case of fever.
