heated, do not rush of and take "Sprlnp
medicines. Cool yourself down and in
this way help your system and purify
your blood
If you feel hot and thirsty, do not
drink large quantities of water or other
long drinks. 1t is much better to take
little pure whiskey and water which
will quench the thirst, tone the system,

Remember that only pure whiskey
should ever be taken into the system,

lists of the present day unite in declar-
