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.
