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. 1
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
am in better health and heavier than for
the past fifteen years.

action In Panama In whlcn
they claim that the "main -responsibil
ity for the secession of Panama lies
with the United States, first, by foment
ing the separatist spirit, of -which
there seems to be clear evidence; sec
ond, that by hastily acknowledging
the independence of tho revolted prov
ince, and finally by preventing the Co
lombian government from using prop
er means to repress the rebellion.”
The cable message goes on to say
that president Marroquln has ener
getically protested to the United
States and wishes that his protest
should be known throughout the civil
ized world. The president contend,
that the United States has Infringed
article 35, of the treaty of 1846, which
he asserts implies tho duty of the Utilt-
od States to ,help Colombia In main
talnlng her sovereignty over the Isth
mus, and adds that tho “Colombian
government repudiates the assump
tion that they have barred the way tc
carrying out the canal treaty." He
asserts that since 1835 they have grant
ed canal privileges to different people
no less than nine times and claim,
that the treaty concluded with the late
General Hurlbut, when he waa United
States minister to Colombia at Bogo
ta July 8, 1870, has been Ignored at
Washington. After giving the previous
ly stated reasons for the Colombian
senate's failure to approve the "Hay-

rising occurred when the government
was not prepared, having withdrawn
most of Its troops when peace was re

“The hastiness In recognizing the

der these circumstances da all the
more suwrislng to the Colombian gov
ernment when they recollect tho oner
