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
been for six weeks prior, so feeble I was
scarcely able to preach. Mr. F. A. Gulledge,
of 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 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
m in better health and heavier than for
the past fifteen years.
J. M. McCORD,
Pastor Verbena Baptist Church.

Strikers Place New York Street Com
missioners In Quandary.
New York, May 1*.—With 400 miles
of streets in this city colling for new
asphalting and 120 now contracts let.
Commissioner of Highways Livingston
finds himself entirely helpless because
of the great labor war now on.
To complicate the altuation, Mr. Liv
ingston says a company bis obtained
contracts to connect every substation
of the city with the general postolflca
by paeumatlc tubes. This company
also has obtained from the state leg
islature the right to run these tubas
without obtaining a franchise to use
the streets and Is said to bo on the
point of starting work, and as it will
have to Temove the asphalt on 45
miles of streets In order to lsy the 90
miles of tubes, tbls will mean more lit
ter and obstruction until the war Is
over.
a serious problem confronting the
administration Is tho disposition of
$6,500,000 allotted by tho board of
estimate and apportionment recently
for entirely now asphalting. As It
stands bow. Mr. Livingston says there
Is a sUbngsilkelihood that the repairs
for the city will take a!' -i tir.o of
the asphalt companies until n< xt Jan
uary and this will leave the J€,5uO,uoii
to be spent by, the next administration.
