Some of them had wooden legs, othels had crooked legs or maim d legs, and there was in fact scarcely a whole-bodied man among them, and yet when Che music took u martial turn all those old fel- lows insisted on dancing. It was the most remarkable performance I have ever seen, and for ten minutes d good many of us could not tell whether we were laughing or crying.

It II q superior brand OF pure whiskey,
It's chief merit being that It Is distilled By
. secret process discovered by rs In 1860,
whereby every trace OF fusel oil and other
injurious substances are eliminated. Tt Is
she only whiskey OF the kind manufac-
tured in the world and it is the only abso-
lutely pure whiskey on the market.
While as whiskey and for every purpose
to which whiskey is put. either as q
medicine or drink, it is uneQualled by any
other whiskey, il is, owing TO its absolute
purity especially fitted for medicinal par
poses Another peculiar feature OF IL is
that IL Is the only whiskey that will stay
on the stomach Of invalfds and dehlIitated
persons, and combining. asit does, food
quality with that OF q etimulant, tt Is the
only whiskey that ought to be used in the
treatment OK the sick; and still further
feature that in whatever quantity it Ii
consumed, there are no after effects from

other WHISTLES containing fusel oil and

chemists OF this country and TO which we
openly submit at all times, that where
any attempt Is made by INSCRIPTIONS

adulterated whisky. as being as good or

by lnercenary motives. We repeat that
this IS the only whiskey OF the kind IN the
world. We are Its discoveries and sole
manufacturers and we challenge any one
to produce whiskey like 1t, either in

would impress upon our friends is not TO
be deceived by other malt whistles, as
there are just as many grades OF bad
