Mr.. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SR:-Some years ago operated float
ing saw mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. I 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 / determined to give the
medicine a trial. I procured it, and those who
were sick were put on this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In a short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on used nothing else but JOhnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
J. r. LASSITER.

OF issuing the post check is far from
being a bad one. The plan provides
for the substitution of post checks for
the present paper currency of S. or
less, the issues to be also in fractional
amounts. The checks will resemble
somewhat the present currency, but
will contain the following check form:
Payable to the payee named hereon:
payable to the bearer if the spaces are
not tilled.'' So long as the spaces are
not filled, 1.-The check may circulate as
currency. If it is desired to make it
payable to anyone for transmission
through the mails, his name is written
in, stamp is attached and cancelled.
When the payee receives the check he
signs his name and gets the money.
The idea is a practical and simple one
and the post check would become i'm
mensely popular at once.
