"The missing link between the man

universal acceptance.
The investigations of Darwin and
other scientists have, however, demon
stratcd many wonderful truths, and
amongst them there Is not one of more
interest than the fact that in the build
ing of the human body the bony frame
work in health has to round out In the
form shat amount of flesh best adapted
TO the healthy performance of the func-
tions of the body, and at 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
thing to be avoided, on the ground that
any departure from conditions which
are natural most certainly predisposes
the body to disease. This Is 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 de-
vclopment of the conditions which lead
to consumption, is the knowledge that
the body Is throwing oil, in an undi.
gestcd form, the fat that is taken into
the stomach This is followed by loss,
in quantity and quality, of the blood
and corresponding loss in flesh. In
these cases there as truly exists con.
sumption (though there may not be ne
cessarily consumption of the lungs at
the bcginning) as in any case that ever
existed.
Lean persons are the ones who furnish
materials for the quick development of
many ailments. susceptibility to
changes in the weather, feeble digcs-

nervousness and disturbed sleep, soon
lead to some serious disease Another

well understood, and it is wonderful

than in the improvement of the bodily
health of the human family.
These lean persons doubtless inherit
tendency to imperfect action of the
digestive functions. For the cure of
this difficulty 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 ordinary diet may
well be considered q desirable one
This is secured in pure malt whiskey,

with food at meal time. 1t is, however,
not only desirable but absolutely neces-
sary to get the best results that a
whiskey known to be free from fusel
oil and all other adultcrations should
be used The chief difference in stim-
ulants of all kinds is the percentage of
alcohol, and by diluting, any percent

The special properties of pure malt
whiskey are not destroyed by being
diluted and sweetened, 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 discoverers and sole propric-
tors Of an absolutely pure malt whisky,
free from fusel oil and all authorizations.
The company is furnishing constantly
an abundance of testimony that by the
use of their p,lrp malt whisky taken
three times a day at meals, marked
weight has been obtained by parties
suffering from leanness and supposed
to be unsusceptiblc to any agency
which might be brought to bear on
them. Their medical department
promptly answers all inquiries, free OF
charge, on this subject.
