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 | 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 l determined to give the
medicine a trial. | procured 1t, and those who
sick were put on 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 | used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
j. r.. LASSITER.
