PURE MALT WHISKEY.
rmroNLY CURE ron CONSUMPTION
High Mcdicnl Authority.

reason for this special interest Is the
fact that the numberlcss causes which
lead to its development tend to leave
few households where there has not
been at least one death from it. The
public, as well as the medical profcs-
sion, have long ago decided that mcdi-
cinal agents having the character of II
food are the only things that have any
value in the treatment of this disease
For many years 1t was supposed that
beef tea was valuable rs food; it is
now entirely discarded by physicians,
having no value. Cod-liver oil, from
its indigcstiblc quality, has also been
abandoned, the only result from 1t be.
ing an occasional case where an UNI
healthy increase of fat was obtained
from II. The difficulty with all con
sumptives comes largely from the fact
that the stomach of the consumptive is
very weak.
To overcome this difficulty there is
nothing like Pure Malt Whisllcy.
There isnot an article today that en-
tiers so largely into medical practice
for the treatment of the sick and dcbili-
tated as alcohol in the form of whiskey,
and there is not an intelligent physi-
clan in the country but who prescribcs
II, or a hospital but what requires it on
hand constantly. In its pure state it Is
acknowledged to be the best stimulant
and the only cure for such diseases rs
consumption, hcmorrhagcs, malaria and
dyspepsia, and it will no doubt cause
establishment when we inform you,
backed up by statistics, that nearly
onesixth of all whiskcys sold in this
country to-day is dispensed through
the mediums of druggists and grocers.
So important is the use of alcohol in
the treatment of disease that Professor
Austin Flint of the Bellevue Hospital
Medical College, New York professor
of the Principles and Practice of Medi-
cine, in his article, entitled Medical
and Sanitary Progress" which ap-
peared in "Thc First Century of the
Republic, says: "The judicious use of
alcoholic stimulants is one of the strik-
ing characteristics of progress in
the practice of medicine during
the last half century" Two
ounces of alcohol contain more
nutriment than ten ounces of meat. 1t
is the only thing that enters the blood
direct without effort on the part of the
stomach 1t is, therefore, peculiarly
fitted for the weak and debilitated. OF
the importance of purity in all articles
used in the treatment Of disease, too
much cannot be said. The presence
of fusel oil and its irritating qualities in
the past have been the Objectionable
elements in whiskcy. Now, however,
the public and the medical profession
have in DufTy's Pure Malt Whislicy IN
article which already has received so
much commentator that its character
and value are fully established In adj
dition to the good to be derived from
their whisllcy for consumption, all
wasting diseases and all weak and de.
biliiated conditions, the Duffy Malt
Whiskcy Company of Baltimore, Md.
are furnishing a formula which was
prepared for their special use by an
eminent German scientist, consisting
principally of raw bccfstcak and in
gradients which any hOusckeepcr can
get and mix, combined with their Pure
Malt Whiskey. On receipt of Il two
cent stamp the formula will be sent tc
all parties using their whisley, under
the seal of the company. Whenever il
has been used regularly rs directed, 1T has
added on an average from six to eight
pounds to the weight in the period OF
one month. This result is guaranteed
where it is used as directed. One diff
Guilty with consumptives is, their disin.
clination to use any remedy II sufficient
length of time to give it fair trial
The Duffy Malt Whiskcy Company has
received so many inquiries concerning
this formula, and its fitness for tho
many diseases which, if neglected, END
in consumption, that they have found
it necessary to add medical staff to
their other business facilities, which
staff they place at the disposal of thcil
patrons free of charge for consulta
tons.
A few testimonials are herewith
given as n sample of letters being re
ceived from the medical profession:
