Office of J. R. LASSITER. . _ Hendsontille, S. C, Sept 2, 1896. air. A. B. Girardeau, Savannah, Ga. Deab Sib:—Some years ago I operated a float ing saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base of operations was being constantly changed, and my hwids were always exposed to the* worst malarial influences. I employed over one hundred hands, and the work was conducted as much in water as ontof 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 to Johnson’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 froflStthat time oh I used nothing else but Johnson’s Tonic, and never had another case of fever.
