"The missing llnlin between the man aud
the monkey has never been discovered, and
Darwin has never been able yet to present
that unbroken chain of evidence, which Is
necessary In every case, to secure for any
theory, universal acceptance.
The Investigations OF Darwin and other
scientists have, however, demonstrated
many wonderful truths. and amongst them
there Is not one OF more interest than the
fact that in the building Of the human
body the bony framework I'm health has TO
round out in the form that amount Of flesh
best adapted to the healthy performance Of
the functions Of the body, and ut the same
time please the eye. Hence IL is that lean
ness Of body, while It is departure from
the highest artistic standpoint which the
body may reach, is also a thing TO be
avoided, on the ground that any departure
from conditions which are natural, most
certainly predisposes the body to disease.
This is n fact which lean persons are not
generally aware Of. The fat of the human
body represents an element necessary for
Its perfect working; following the loss Of
this element comes the inability TO digest
articles which form fat. One of the first
positive evidences Of the development of
the conditions which lead TO consumption,
is the knowledge that the body is throwing
OF, In an undigested form, the fat that Is
by n loss IN quantity and quality, of the
blood and corresponding loss In flesh. In
these cases there as truly exists consump-
tion Though there may not be necessarily
consumption Of the lungs mt the beginnlng)
as In any case that ever existed
Lean persons arc the ones who furnish
materials for the quick development of
many ailments Susceptibility to changes
in the weather, feeble digestion, limited
strength and energy, nervousness and dis
turbed sleep soon lead TO some serious dis
ease. Another popular falacy with lean
persons is that they mustneccssarlly always
remain lean because their parents have per-
haps shown tendency Of this kind. The
fattening of domestic animalsis well under
stood, and 1t is a wonderful fact that in this
age Of general intelligence better results
are being arrived at In the improvement of
live stock than in the improvement Of the
bodily health Of the human family.
These lean persons doubtless inherit n
tendency to imperfect action of the diges-
tive functions. For the cure of this diff
Guilty many medical authorities have agreed
that pure stimulant is the best thing. A
stimulant which can be united with all of
the best things which enter into an ordi-
nary diet may well be considered desira-
bic one. This is secured in pure malt
whiskey, as II can be used with milk, eggs
and with food at meal time 1t is, however,
not only desirable but absolutely necessary
| to get the best results that q whlskey
| known TO be free from fusel oil and all
other authorizations should be used. The
| chief difference in stimulants Of all kinds
is the percentage Of alcohol, and by dllut-
ing any percentage can be obtained to suit
any taste. The special properties Of pure
malt whiskoy are not destroyed by being
diluted and swectened, and in this way
many persons who cannot use alcohol in
any other form, can use the product Of the
| Duffy Malt Whiskey Company, Baltimore,
Nd, the discoveries and sole proprietors
Of an absolutely pure malt whisky, free
from fusel oil and all authorizations. The
companyis furnishing constantly an abund-
ance Of testimony that by the use of their
pure malt whiskey, taken three times day
at meals, a marked, constant and perma-
nent increase in weight has been obtained
by parties suffering from leanness aud sup
posed to be unsusceptlbe to any agency
which might be brought to bear on them.
Their medical department promptly an
swers all inquiries, free of charge, on this
subject.
