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 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
am in better health and heavier than for
the past fifteenjyears.

Tho murdered man, who was a min

Caucaslas and devoted his money tc
the Armenian cause. His society wai

Inspired the advanced section of the
Armenians with tho desire of ven
geance, the latter claiming that Sa
gounl’s society devoted funds to char

Sagounl is said to have moved tc

money was subscribed.
Sagounl had frequently spoken of s
