An UNJUST CODE.
JustIee WHARF It's Duo.

II is high time that some Of the distiu-
guished members Of the medical profession,
with broad sense Of honor aud individ.
uality, should throw aside their code N
ethics, and render only what Is simply due
to one Of the greatest discoveries Of the
nineteenth century. The Duffy Malt
Whlskey Company, Baltimore, Md, have
always submitted their Duify's pure malt
whiskey to analy sis IN support Of their
claim that II contains no fusel oil or other
poisonous Ingredients, and 1t has already
been analysed by the most eminent chem
lists Of the country, and they offer every
opportunity for investigation. Yet, be.
cause IL happens to be a proprietary article,
which they have advertised for the relief Of
human suffering, the profession,
although using II extensively, have not
given IL such public Endorsement as
IL deserves, and which they
accord to II privately. But there are, new
theless, many marked exceptions to this
rule, and the following sincere expression
Of opinion upon its merits from one Of the
most learned physicians In the country
speaks for itself in rebuke OF those who
halt in strict line Of duty In Difference to
these ethics. DIR. j.. g. Hoffman, NJ. D.,
