CHICAGO, ILL.,
MR. A. B. GIRARDEAU;
Savannah, Ga. *
DEAR SIR:—My son, a man of 30 years,
was attacked with La Grippe, and believe*
ing it to be of malarial origin, took your
Johnson's Tonic as directed for Chills and
Fever. The result was he escaped the Fever
which follows the severe aching, and was
able to be at work the second day. I was
taken with the disease. Every bone in me
began to ache, and my suffering was great.
I was compelled to go home and to bed. I
fully expected to be there a week. MyJ son
told meof his experience and urged meto take
Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic. I did so -
took it with regularity all through the
night—and was agreeably surprised to see
that no Fever came. I continued until.’Miad
taken eight doses-.felt weak and exhausted,
but no fever, and aching disappeared. Next
morning I had a good appetite for my
breakfast, and felt quite well, and went to
my business as well as I ever was. Since
then I have tried It with like results on two
other cases. Yours truly,

Toklo, March 16.—It fa strongly be
ttered that the Russian fleet aban-
donro Port Arthur after the fourth
attack was made upon it by tbe Jap
anese fleet and la endeavoring to each
Vladivostock.
Confirmation of this movement la
not obtainable from any reliable
source, but recent acouflng In the vj*
ciclty of Port Arthur has failed to
reveal the presence of any Russian
warships. It seems logical enough
that the Russians should attempt a
dash for Vladivostock, where it is
possible) to dock the larger ships, ef
fect a junction with their armored
cruiser squadron and secure a base
for operations whllo possessing ade
quate land defenses.
The hopelessless of continuing at
Port Arthur Is manifest, while a dash
for Vladivostock might succeed, con
trary to the opinion previously eg'
pressed. Vice Admiral Togo la up
willing to run the risk of dividing bis
battleship squadron and continue to
operate the alx battleships together.
If the Russians should make an at
tempt to reach Vladlvostoclt It la be
lieved they will try a dash througB
the Korean straits rather than enter
the Japanese sea through the Suga-
tu straits.

ATTEMPED TO POISON FAMILY.
| Baptist Preachcr and Family Eat Pols-

New York, March 15.—A mysterious
attempt lias been made to poison the
family of Rev. Dr. Essex J. Crudup,
pastor of the Fllmore Baptist church,
| of Plainfield, N. J.
The pastor’s sister and his C-yeer-
old daughter who ate some of a cake
sent to the lipuse by an unknown per-
son were saviu by timely medical aid.
Tho cako was left at a grocery store
by an unknown who who asked that
it he delivered to tbe pastor. An
examination of the cake shows'that
tbe frosting had been filled with a
deadly poison.
'No trace of the poisoner has been
found.
A Quart Batty •
Now and again there is an item in tbs
newspapers concerning the birth of a
puny Iwhy -so small that a quart cup
nolds it comfortably. If the article tola
all the facts it would probably tell also
of a mother who in weakness and misery
had looked forward to the baby's advent
with shrinking and fear.
To liave fine, healthy children the
mother must be healthy, and it is tbe
common testimony
of mothers that tbe
use of Dr. Pierce’e

motes the mother's
health but also
gives her strength
to give her child.

Tokto, March 15.—Tho steamer beare
ing ten wounded and tho bodle* of
nine of the seamen who were killed
in the Port Arthur fight on the 10
Instant, has reached Sasebo.
Tho wounded'and dead were chief
ly participants In the battle between
the Japanese and Russian destroyers.
The surylyors unite in praising the
desperately heroic attack jbn the Rus
sians and . tell a story of ' personal
encounter between a’Japanese sail
or and tfi* captain of the Russian de
stroyer, Stereguschtchi. When the
Japanese closed on the Russians tbe
sailor sprang aboard the enemy’s ves
sel and met her commander emerge
ing from the cabin. Sailor and cap
tain sprang at one another, but the
seaman was the quicker of tbe two
and felled the Russian officer by
striking him on tbe head with a cut
lass. The Russian endeavored to
rise, but the Japanese sailor kicked
him overboard and ho was drowned.
The Japanese say there were 22
dead on the Russian destroyers.
The report of the death of Engi
neer Mlnamlsawa was premature. He
is very low. The Japanese dead
were landed at SSscbo and received
will full military honors. They wore
homo on funeral carriages to tbe na
vnl brigade headquarters.
