Prom the American Analyst.
Pure, good whiskey hould be in every house
hold; outside of its convivial charms it DOS
sesses great medicinal virtue. Whenever the
system requires moderate or great stimulation;
whenever weakness and wasting are to be COM
batted; whenever q crisis in the physical organ
ization Is to be met and tided over, alcohol in
some form Is Of incalculable value, and in no
form can it be employed better than in the pure
spirit Of the malt. 1t is not q cure-all, nor Is
any medicine in the world. But as yet nothing
in the materia medfca can approach 1t in be-
nihcent results in case of consun ption, diphthe-
ria, dyspepsia, malaria colds and chronic in
validism. The experience of two thousand
years bears unimpeached testimony to the value
of alcoholic medication.
One of the best, If not the best whiskey in the
market, for medicinal use, is that made by the
Duffy Malt Whiskey Company, of Baltimore,
Md. 1t is almost cOlOrless, unlike most rival
brands, and contains practically no fusil oil
Its percentage of alcohol is greater than that OF
the spirits sold in every saloon, that it can be
agreeably consumed without water. Its flavor
and bouquet are rich, vinous and aromatic It
possesses a heavy body, and SO impresses the
tongue and palate with its avor for a longer
time than do most forms of alcohol. And what
is also q high recommendation in these hard
timessit costs only a dollar bottle. An anal
ysis OF three samples showed no appreciable
trace of fusil OIL glucose, deXtrine, free alcohol

men ever lived through. The incident
happened about fifteen years ago, but
every feature of it comes to my mind as
clear as if the affair occurred last night.
My engineer was named Bob Ripley. He
was jovial, whole souled fellow, and was
known all along the lines as a sober and
trusty man.
Well, all of a sudden, bad luck struck
him. He had little home which was
taken away by land shark. He left
Cincinnati one night for Toledo on his
usual run, and returned to find his wife
dead. She had some heart trouble, and
died without moments warning. With
in fortnight his boy baby sickened and
