Mr.. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago l operated float
ing saw-mll 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 I determined to give the
medicine trial. [ 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 l used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
J. r. LASSITER.
