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 were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. I employed over 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 trial. [ procured it, and those who
we're sick were put on this treatment and those who
we're 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 l used nothing else but JOhnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
j. r. LASSITER.

DRIVES OVER BATTLEFlELDs.

Ben Lamond Pace a Fine Preserve
of 500 Acres, Is Where the President
and His Party viii Enjoy Season Of
Sport.
Manassas, Va, Nov lin the fit

ident Roosevelt at 1880 o'clock STEP
ped briskly from his private car in
the railroad yard here and greeted
cordially the little group Of neWspa-
per men, special officers and railroad
men who had gathered to see him
start on his hunt for wild turkeys. He
was attired in a khaki suit with leg
gins, and over this was long, heavy
overcoat and black hat.
Secretary Root, who had preceded
the president from the train, wore
canvass shooting suit, an overcoat and
golf cap The president, after
quick survey of the starlit Sly. re-
marked to Mr. Root that they were IN
luck as to the weather. Mr.. Root
and the president were Joined at once
by DR.. Rixey. Secretary Cortelyou and
Mr.. Leichman, who will act as guide
for the party during the hunt. They
were preceded by the railroad men
bearing lanterns
The party proceeded along the maize
of railroad tracks to the carriages iii
waiting for them to convey them to
the shooting grounds. They were
followed by servants carrying a big
hamper of mineral water and lunch
con. AS he walked briskly along the
president remarked to Secretary Root:
Il have tramped ties before in my
time
YES" responded the secretary with
a suggestion of irony in the tone of his
voice. 81 have often thought that there
was no active exercise so restful to
the wearied mind as the tramping of
railroad ties"
The party entered carriages in the
village and, preceded by Sheriff Leach
man and a secret service officer in a
buggy, started for the hunting grounds
about 4 miles distant. President
Roosevelt, Secretary Root, Secretary
Cortelyou and Dr. Rixey occupied one
carriage, which was followed by an.
other containing servants and messen-
gers with the luncheon.
This morning the party is hunting
over a fine preserve of 500 acres known
locally as the Ben Lomond place, own
ed by Representative John F. Rixey,
brother of Surgeon General RiXeY.
While the president hopes to add a
wild turkey or two to his hunting
trophies, he said this morning he was
here particularly for the needed resus-
citation the outing would afford him
and for the purpose of getting over
the historic Bull Run battlefield5,
which he had never visited. After
the morning hunt the party assembled
about noon at the Henry house, which
is in the very center of the operations
of the first battle of Bull Run. There
luncheon was served. During the af-
ternoon the president drove over the
battlefield.
This afternoon the president and
party, on their special train, will go
to brandy, Va, 29 miles south of Ma
nassas, where they will be the guests
until Monday morning of relatives of
Surgeon General Rixey.
