AMERICUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER II, 1903.
NUMBER 32
East Lake, Ala., Dec. 8th, 1902.
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 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.
J. M. McCORD,
Pastor Verbena* Baptist”Church.
