Hf.nd8onvii.le, S. C, Sept. 2, 1890. Mr. A. J5. (iiiLWMiE.u;, Savannah, Ga. Dear SiK:-*-Some years ago I operated a float ing saw-miiyon the Savannah River. My base of operations was 1 icing 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 much in water as out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem ber there was great lass of time and business, ou account of sickness among the workers. My attention was then called to.Tohusou’s Chill and Fever Tonic, and I 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 lint Johnson’s Tonic, and never had another case of fever. Yours very truly, J. R. LASSITER. FALL S WINTER 1902-3. Big Parades at Knoxville, Memphis and Birmingham—Novel Feature ol Labor Demonstration at Chicago, Gompers at New Orleans.
