DUTTY,B PUN HAIT WHISKY.



It tis a superior brand Of pure whiskey,
lls chief merit being that 1t Is distilled by
q secret process discovered by rs IN 1860,
whereby every trace Of fusel oil and other
Injurious substances are eliminated. It Is
the only whiskey Of the kind manufac-
tured in the world and it is the only abso-
lutely pure Whlskey on the market.
While as a Whiskey and for every purpose
to which whiskey is put. either as a
medicine or drink, IL is unequalled BY any
other whiskey, It Is, owing TO its absolute
purity especially fitted for medicinal pur-
poses Another peculiar feature OF it is
that il is the only whiskey that will stay
on the stomach of invalids and debilitated
persons, and combining, as it does, food
quality with that of q stimulant, IL is the
only whiskey that ought to be used in the
treatment of the sick and still further
feature that In whatever quantity It is
consumed, there are no after effects from
1t such as are experienced from the use OF
other whiskies containing fusel oil and
other poisons. Being superior brand Of
pure whiskey distilled from the very best
materials, it Is Of necessity an expensive
one and by the demand created for it as
such among consumers, dealers arc Writ
ually compelled to handle it, although at
a profit to them Of about one-fourth of
what is usually made on other whiskies,
such as many Of them have the reputa-
ton of keeping. For this reason we would
impress upon our friends the Importance
OF demanding ours as the only pure whis-
key, and we warn them in view of the
hundreds of analyses this whiskey has
received at the hands of the most eminent
chemists of this country and to which we
openly submit at all times, that where
any attempt is made by upscrupulous
druggists TO palm off an Inferior and
adulterated whisky, as being as good or
as pure as ours, they are actuated solely
by mercenary motives. We repeat that
this Is the only whiskey Of the kind in the
world. We are it's discoverers and sole
manufacturers and we challenge any one
to produce q whiskey like it, either In
purity or excellence. Another thing we
would impress upon our friends is not to
be deceived by other malt whiskies, as
there are just as many grades Of bad
malt whiskies, equally as poisonous as
other whiskies and none of them are
pure. 1t Is under this guise that several
unscrupulOus manufacturers are trying
to reap benefits from our name and pres
tige.

Harry Gilmore Meets His Match in a
Brutal Battle.

A Detroit special of the 28;h says:
The most brutal prize fight that ever
occurred in Michigan came off this
morning on Harsin's Island, two miles
from Algonac, between Harry Gilmore,
of Toronto, and Sam Bittle, of Guelph.
The stakes were $500 a side, gate
money, and the light weight champion
ship which Gilmore has enjoyed so
many years. The principals and 800
hundred sports left Detroit at 2:45
o'clock this morning. The island was
reached at 7;30, and ring pitched.
Both men were in fine physical shape
and equally confident. The gloves
we're ordinary kid walking gloves,
without particle of padding.
The men faced each other at 8:45.
Gilmore won the toss, and put his an
tagonist with his face to thesun. Both
men opened the fight cautiously. The
second blow Gilmore struck was aimed
at Bittle's nose and it broke the bridge
of that member, twisting the nose to
the left. The terrible blow never daz ID
Bittle, but when time was called blood
was flowing from his mouth as well as
his nose. Gilmore led off with another
terrible blow on Bittle's nose, anG
Bittle got in several heavy hits on
Gilmore's ribs. In the third roun(
Gilmore again struck for his opponent:
nose and got in two or three goo(
ones. Bittle was actually bathed il
his own blood.
In the fourth round Gilmore hi
Bittle several terrible blows on the iv
and chin. In the fifty round Bittl
administered series of heavy blows
on Gilmore, driving the latter arount
the ring and into his corner. In tn
ninth round Bittle was the pusher
Notwithstanding he had taken so mucl
punishment. Bittle's left eye wa
closed, his lip stood out over an inch
his jaw was terribly swollen; his fac
and neck were completely raw, ant
blood was streaming from his nos
and mouth. Gilmore had hardly
ecratch. No particular damage wa
done to either man during the fifteenth
and six succeeding rounds, but it wa
apparent that Gilmore was overmst III
ed in endurance. Both men were yer,
weak in the twenty-thi-d round.
1t was now 1920 o'clock and th,
sun shining hot. The twenty-sixtE
round was the most brutal of the fight
Bittle started off with five blows OF
Gilmore's face, followed quickly by sil
sledge-hammer blows on Gilmore'i
jugular, then broadside on his mouth
ears, stomach and chest so swiftly tha
Gilmore was dazed and unable to de
fend himself. The final and winning
blow was dealt by Bittle with tremend
Gus force directly over Gilmore's heart
The champion fell heavily and lsy
motionless. Blood flowed from hi
mouth, and he was unc conscious severa
minutes after he had been dragged tc
his corner. The fight lasted one hour
and forty.tive minutes.
