MR. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago l operated float

operations was being constantly changed, and my
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.
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 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,
