THE ELIXIR OF LIFE.
What Prominent New York Doctor has 70
Say upon the Subject which Is Extracting
an rnuoh Affention

What q Prominent New York Doctor has TO
Say upon the Subject which Is sAttrsotIng
so much Attention.
s.Do you believe in the Elixir of Life?', asked
Of prominent New YORK physician, recently
The, doctor thought asmoment, carefully and
said; Certainly do. but not in the way in
which Doctors Brown-Sequard or Hammond have
been describing it. Ali that has been said in the
press of the land for the past months proves that
something is needed to assist and sustain the vital
intended the human body for injections, and they
are always injurious because unnatural.,'
'.But is 1t not often DONE Doctor?''
81 am sorry to say 1t is. Morphine injections
are far too common, and they are the great cause
Of that fearful living death known as the opium
habit. There is but one way to properly reach or
sustain the vitality and life, and that is through
the stomach, and there is no discovery of modern
times which, If rightly used. does this SO thor
oughly, keeps back disease and prolongs life, as
pure whiskey. Mind you, 1 say pure whiskey. for
all else is Injurious The effects OF pure article
like Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey are practically
those of an elixir Of life. 1t tones up and
strengthens the system, without injurious reac-
ton or without the formation of any habit. 1t
tends to renew life in the aged and restore It to
those in middle lite. For women especially, who
are weak, languid or suffering as most women
are it is almost Invaluable. All physicians learn
these things from their practice, and canhot but
like this pure article Of which have been speak
ing.n
The Doctor himself seemed to be good example
and clear eye showed him to be in perfect health.
and left him much impressed by the clearness,
truth and common sense of his statements. OCT
