Dear Sir:—This ls L to certify that on Au-

■series of meetings. Was at that time, and
Ld been for six weeks prior, so feeble I was
tarcely able to preach. Mr. P. A. Gulledge,
| 0 f Verbena, with whosejfamlly I was stop-
ng, kindly offered me three bottles of
I 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
