HThe missing link" between the man and thu
monkey has never been discovered, and Oar.
win has never been able yet to present that un
broken c1ain 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 TACT that, In
the building of the human body the bony
framework in 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 at the same time please the eye
Hence il is that leanness of body, while 1t is a
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 Ger
tainly predispOses the body to disease. This is
a fact which lean persons are not generally
aware of. The fat of the human body represent
following the loss Of this element comes tue In
ability to digest articles which form fat. 'One
of the first positive evidences OF the develop
ton is the knowledge that the body is throw
ing OIL, In an undigested form, the tat that is
taken into the stomach. This IL followed, by q
corresponding loss in flesh. In these cases
there as truly exists consumption Though
there may not be necessarily consumption OF

Lean persons are the ones who furnish mater
ials for the quick development Of many all
ments. Susceptibility to changes in the
weather, feeble digestion, limited strength and
energy, nervousness and disturbed sleep, soon
lead to some serious disease Another popular
fallacy with lean persons is that they must
necessarily always remain lean because their
parents have perhaps shown tendency Of this
kind. The fattening of domestic animals Is
we'll understood, and 1t Is q wonderful fact that
in this age of general intelligence, better results
are being arrived at in the Improvement OF live

health Of the human family.
These lean persons doubtless inherit q ten
dency to imperfect action OF the digestive func-
tions. For the cure of this difficulty many
medical authorities have agreed that a pure
slimulant is the best thing. A stimulant which
can be united with all of the best things which
enter into an ordinary diet may we'll be con-
stdered desirable one. This is secured in a
pure malt whiskey. as 1t can be used with milk,
ever, not only desirable but absolutely neces-
sary to get the best results that whiskey
known to be free from fusil Oil and all other
authorizations should be used. The chief differ

be obtained to suit any taste. The special pro-

all authorizations. The company il furnishing
constantly an abundance OF testimony that by
the use OF their pure malt whiskey, taken three
times q day at meals, marked, constant and
permanent increase in weight has been OBJ
