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. EN- ployed 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.
Ny attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the
medicine trial. l procured it, and those who
we're sick were put this treatment, and those who
we're 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 Johnsons Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
J. r. LASSITER.

JILTED BY WOMAN
LEAPS TO HIS DEATH
Suicided Because She Refus-

Elope With Max Sukawatsky, an

Jumps From high Window.

shot from his revolver had killed Mrs.
Julia Gerber, who refused to elope
with him, Max SukaWatsky, an Aus

her apartments in East Seventh street.
He fell several stories to the side
walk, and was killed instantly Before
jumping to his death, the man shot
the young woman through the arm
and shoulder The weapon used was
a large calibre dueling pistol of fine
make.
The Austrian had made violent love
to Mrs. Gerber and about two months
ago was arrested for threatening her
life. This did not check his advances,
and while the woman and her sister
were sitting together he burst into
the room. After pleading that she
elope with him to Austria, and receiv-
ing refusal, he drew his pistol and
fred one shot The woman fell In a
gwoon. Thinking he had killed her,
the Austrian rushed to the window and
before the wounded woman's fright
ened sister could check him, jumped
into the street. Crowds of pedestri-
ans were passing when the man fell
and much excitement prevailed for
time. Mrs. Gerber will probably re-
cover.

he needs some one to help, and no
fair maid in Nebraska has been able
to break the spell or his constancy.
He is vigorous, hale and hearty and
blest with enough of the goods of this

used to remove small portion of the
underlying fat, while the sewing to-
gether with the needle the edges OF the
cut completes the operation. In day
or two the stitches are taken out, With
in u week the wound being usually en-
tirely healed, leaving the becoming lit
tie depression in the surface Of the skin
that is called dimple. ,
1t Is not often that woman desires
the removal Of natural dimple, but
occasionally man who considers the
mark to be badge of effeminacy de-
sires to get rid of it. Instead Of re-
moving the superfuous fat from be-
meath the surface small portion OF
the skin is cut away. The edges of the
dimple are drawn together with
stitches, the incision heals and the de-
preston disappears.
