JohnsOn's Tonic has two cardinal points that
should Immediately commend it to every
thinking man in this country.
First of all, it is harmless Absolutely
harmless. Harmless under all circum-
stances.
Second it is quick; it acts at once. In 80
minutes after it's administration, it enters
the blood .and begins to undo the mischief
caused by Malaria. 1t is the%one great med
iclne that never disappOints. Now take
your choice. Lie in bed for days, or maybe
weeks; and poison your digestion with Qui-
nine, and arise finally with all the life and
vim taken out of you, or use JOhnson's Tonic
and be restored at once to perfect health.
No loss of vital force, No loss of flesh, No
waste of precious time. Take your choice.
