Mr.. A. b GIRARDEAU, savannah, GA.
Dear Sir: wish to call your sttent1on
to the wonderful merit of Johnson's
Tonic. A sou of Mr.. F. w. Cason, of
Rosa, La. nine miles below this town,
had slow, continued fever. The fever
lasted four months. The doctors could
do nothing and the patient gradually
grew worse and weaker. Finally per
suaded them to try Johnson's Tonic.
they tried one bottle, giving two tea
spoonfuls three times day, without
stopping the fever. I told them to dao-
BILE the dose ias directed on the bottle),
which they did, and in ~ hours tho
fever left the patient. They continued
giving the Tonic, end in short time
he was as well as he ever WAS. But for
Johnson's Tonic he would certainly
have died. Yours very truly.
