THE WOES OF WOMEN.


WEAKNESS, Unhappiness, and Misery Seem to
be the Lot Of Women, Instead Of Bright
ness, Happiness, and Joy--The Causes Of
Bad Complexion Explained.
"Why is it that so few American women have
good complexfons?" asked Mrs. Langtry on her
first visit to America. Her question can be
easily answered. Women are sallow because
the blood does not circulate well through their
bodies. 1t does not fill their cheeks with rich
gish." What is the result? Bad color, weari-
ness, and poor health. What will prevent this?
A gentle and pure stimulant that lmparts
strength, life and good circulation. This is pre-
cisely what Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey does.
1t is not a beverage; it is health-giving rem
edy 1t is admitted to have done more in max
ing ladies stronger and healthier than any other
preparation known TO the world. 1t has the in
dorsement of clergymen, physicians and lady
workers in the temperance cause and it has
never been known to fail in strengthening re-
writing on this subject said:
~ can never describe the change that has
taken place in my appearance and in my feel
ings Instead of feeling tired and blue as l
once did, am now strong and young, both in
feeling and appearance. l had great preju-
dice against the word 'Whiskey,' but since l
have found that Duffy's is indeed pure and
harmless remedy feel like letting all women
know what grand help it is"
The experience of this lady has heen verified
in thousands of cases. and an innumerable num-
ber of women are kept in perfect health to-day
wholly through this great remedy. To all pur-
chasers we desire to say: BE sure and secure
the genuine, and take NO OTHER" 1t is sold
