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. Gulledge,
of Verbena, with whose family 1 was stop
ping, kindly offered me three bottles of
Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic, 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.

use extraordinary care m keeping tho
-buildings properly ventilated. Corpe-

ASTRONOMICAL EXPEDITION,.
Interesting Observation* To Bo Made
In South America.
Berkeley. Cal.. Feb. 25.—Tho D. O.
Mills astronomical expedition to tho
southern hemisphere, after two years
of preparatory work, will sail from Baa
Francisco for Chile next Saturday. The
observations will be conducted by Uni
versity of California asttonomera,
headed by William H. Wright, of the
Lick observatory.
Owing to an Injury receive! recent
ly. Professor Can l| will be unable
to go with the i„.iy which expects
to remain at lea. t two years. The
mission of the expedition Is to throw
additional light on the motion of tho
solar system through space. Sine* »
1595 the linear-sight velocities of som*
400 of the brightest stars have been
measured at the Uck observatory by
means of the speetropraph presented
by D. O. Mills.
The results so far obtained Indi
cate that'the solar system lg moving
approximately toward tha southern
part of the constellation of tha Lyre,
with a speed of 1214 miles per second.
This conclusion, however, cannot bo
considered conclusive, for the stars of
the southern hemisphere are not pre
sented Id the calculations and for tho
purpose of observation of them tha
Mills expedition Is being sent to San-
tlago, Chile. Tho spectroscopic hello,
graph* obtained by the party will be
sent to Uck observatory for measure
ment and comparison. All tho ex
penses will be borne by D. O. Mills of
New York.
