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. P. A. Guliedge,
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 much
better. In three weeks I had [taken the
three bottles of Tonic andj wps fully well.
■ Took no other medicine then nor since, and
am in better health and heavier than for
the past fifteen years.
