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,
oi Verbena, with whose family I 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 1 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
lam in better health and heavier than for
I the past fifteen years.
