A MANLY MINISTER.

Re Honestly and Frankly Confirms q Statement
Which had Been Called in Question. An In.
teresting and Outspoken Letter.
The Rev. B. Mills is a Presbyterian clergyman
and Doctor Of Divinity, whose station Is at
Meade Centre, Kan. He is an earnest preacher,
o faithful pastor and man who has the courage
OF his convictions Some time since he made q
statement which appeared in the public prints,
and which, as all outspoken statements DO. oc-
casioned much comment Many letters were
addressed to him upon the subject, TO one OF
which Rev. DR.. Mills replied
"Your favor with the inclosed slip is at hand.
The facts are these. My wife was an invalid for
several years and, on our physicians recommen-
dalton, used certain preparation with very
great benent. received letter inquiring as 10
its effects, to which replied as follows: Il am

not OF medicine, but am not afraid to say that
DufTy's Formula and Duny's Pure Malt Whiskey
are the purest and most effective preparations
as medicines, know OF, and my experience ID
large one.' / am . temperance man and never
used and never would advise any man or woman
to use any intoIicant as beverage. MY recon-
mendation OF Duny's Formula and Whiskey was
made after q thorough knowledge OF their great
value as medicines. The statement was made
deliberately and based upon facts, and do not
hesitate TO stand by It. The many temperance
men who have written me on this subject do not
seem 70 realize that was q Temperance man,
In many cases, before they were born"
The above correspondence speaks for Itself IL
shows that an earnest, honest, orthodox minis
ter, who desires the greatest physical IS well as
spiritual Well-being OF the world, does not hest
tate 20 declare the truth about what he has
found 70 be pure, valuable and good. The world
would certainly be far better II there were more
