Justice where IL Ii Due.

1t Is high time that some Of the distinguished
members of the medical profession, with q
broad sense of honor and individuality should
throw aside their code OF ethics and render only
what is simply due to one of the greatest dis
coveriss of the nineteenth century. The Duffy
Malt Whiskey Co., Baltimore, Nd, have al
ways submitted their Dufys pure malt
whiskey to analysis in support Of their claim
that IL contains no fusil Oil or other poisonous
Ingredients, and it has already been analy zed
by the most eminent chemists of the coun-
investigation Yet, because It happens to
be proprietary article, which they have
advertised for the relief of human suffering
the profession, although using it extensively
have not given 1t such public endorsement as
II deserves, and which they accord to it pri-
marked exceptions to this rule and the follow

country, speaks for itself in rebuke of those
who halt in a strict line of duty in Difference
to these ethics. DIR. ]. G. Holman, NJ. d., JEFF
