GULLEDGE. VERBENA, ALA., August 31st, 1896. Mr. A. B. GIRARDEAU, SAVANNAH, Ga. Dear Sir:—In reply to yours of the 29th, inst., I will say that I freely endorse all you or others have said or could ever say about Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic. ‘Two months ago my father who is 85 years old, was stricken down with Bilious Fever, and came near dying. I began at once with the Tonic, giving him a dose every two hours. I called in our family Doc- tor and told him what I was doing. He said it was the right treatment and advised that I continue it. He called again the next day and saw the effect of the Tonic and gave nothing him- self. Within a week my father was able to walk about the house. I persuaded him to take a second bottle and under its use he has grown strong. Although 85 years old on the 24th of last June, he has to-day taken a horse back ride of six miles unattended. This is only one of many remarkable cures performed by the Tonic that has come under my personal observation in the last 22 years that I have been selling the Tonic. White Cake
