Mil A. li. Girardeau, Savannah, Ua.
1)i:ai: Sir:—Some veers ago 1 operated a float
ing saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base of
oper.it ions was being constantly ehangeii, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. I employed over one hundred bauds,
ami the work was conducted as much in water as
oat 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 theu called to Johnson’s Chill
and Fever Tonic, and 1 determined to give the
medicine a trial. J procured it, and those who
were sick were put on this treatment, and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
Jn t: short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
, was well and reported for Uuiy; and from that time
on i used nothing else but Johnson’s Tonic, and
never bad another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
j. R. LASSITER.
