Mr.. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SIR-Some years ago operated float
ing saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands we're always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. l employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it, For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great loss of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the
medicine trial. [ procured it, and those who
were sick were put this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on I used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
J. r. LASSITER.

PASSED AWAY.
In Memory of Joseph r. Baxter,

After several weeks suffering with
typhoid fever, which he bore like SOL
dier, lie was called away Feb. 18th.
Just at the dawn Of day the angels bore
his spirit to that land where sorrow,
sin and death come no more.
The family was called to his bedside
several days before his death, where
they all remained until after his burial.
He was the Youngest of the family and
his voice will be missed by all. He
was just reaching his % year in age,
had won many friends in his school
days and was preparing for higher
works Of life, but God saw fit to call
him away. He left a mother, two sis
ters and one brother to mourn his loss.
BY the help of God we will all be with
him when the final roll is called, and
join his sweet voice with the choir Of
angels, by the throne of God.
May God help us to bear our trouble,
comfort us and guide us onward until
our name is called, then the crowns
will be ready.
