Mr. A. B. Girardeau, Savannah, Ga.
Dear Sir:—This is to certify that on Au
gust 1st I went to Verbena, Ala., to hold a
series of meetings. Was at that time, and
had been for six weeks prior, so feeble I was
scarcely able to preach. Mr. F. A. Oulledge,
of Verbena, with whose family I was stop
ping, kindly oficred me three bottles of
Johnson’s Chill and Fever I onic, gratis. I
accepted, and began the use of the Tonic at
\
once. Within three weeks I was was much
better. In three weeks I had taken the
three bottles of Tonic and was fully well.
Took no other medicine then nor since, and ^
am in better health and heavier than for
the past fifteen years. '

MACEDONIAN AFFAIR
BECOMING SERIOUS
Balkans Question Menace to
Europe’s Peace.
READY TO BLAZE INTO WAR
Outbreak of Hostilities Between Mace
donian Insurgents and Turkish Gov-
eminent Threatened—Massacre of
Christiana Feared. .
New York, Feb. 10.—There
enough dry tinder on the slopes of the
Balkans for a great blaze If a match
be thrown on the ground-, according
to The Tribune's London correspon-
dent This is the conclusion reach
ed by Fleet street, where the Macedo
nian question is aegarded as a serious
menace to the peace of Europe. An
outbreak of hostilities between the
Macedonian Insurgents and the Turk
ish garrison is expected early In
March, and a massacre of Christians
will be followed by a declaration of
war from Bulgaria under Russian In
stigation.
A remarkable feature of the situa
tion Is the openness with which the pan
Slavlst agitators are planning a mili
tary and diplomatic campaign for ex
pelling the Turks from the Balkans. It
Is assumed In centers of Slav feeling
that Count Lambsdorlt has obtained
guarantees of Austrian neutrality and
that Russia is ready to stand behind
Bulgaria and Servla. Nobody in Fleet
street or In the Balkans seems to
know whether the German emperor Is
prepared to defend the sultan and In
cur the lasting enmity of Russia,

mm LIFE’S AT STAKE
The most timid man will take any
chance of escape. The slender rope
dropped down the precipice, the alfp.
pery log over the abyss, anything that
offers a chance of life, it rag® ly match
ed at. The end the man eccks ta safety.
He caret nothing
for the means, to
that end.
There are thou
sands of men and
women whose
lives are at stake,
who are hindered
from accepting
the one means of
safety hy foolish
prejudice.
Doctor Pierce’s
Golden Medical
Discovery has
been the meant of
restoring health
to many mra and
women whose hol
low cough, bleed
ing lungs, ema
ciation' and weak
ness teemed to
warrant the state
ment of local phy
sicians—"There it
no cure possible.”
Why ehottld prejudice against a put-up
medicine hinder yon from trying what
has cured thousands of suffering men
and women?
