Grln Rstarn Dangsr OF Pneumonia.

Have you noticed the unusual number Of
colds possessed by your acquaintance this
year There seems 20 be no particular
reason why the fall Of this year should be
more trying than usual, hut. nevertheless. IL
Is fact. Those who know something OF
these matters, say that this extraordinary
prevaltnce Of colds is the fOrerunner OF
may turn out so or not. a thing everyone
should do is to get rid OF a cold as soon as
possible on account OF the danger to which a
per on with little cold Is exposed. Pneu.
moni nobody wishes TO face, and II IA no ex-
agg ration 20 state that eighty per cent. OF
deaths from this cause could have been
averted IL the colds out Of which they grew
had been cured.
BY far the best method Of Kidding oneself OF
q cold Is to take a little pure stimulani in
water and keep warm after having one so.
The greatest care and prompt measures
should be taken at the slightest sign OF the
approach of pneumonia. L you have a tick
ling in the throat. tightness Of the chest. pain
in the head, a chilly feeling or pains through
out the body, Immediately use ONE pure
stimula to promote the circulation and
LARRY borne in mind that TO be Of the required
value. the stimulant fwhiskey preferably
must be pure. and Dnffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey, which can be obtained Of your
dru ggist or grocer, meets the requirements.
II is standard and reliable aud the fact that

ing scientists and physicians of the present
day IS the best guarantee OF its usefulness az

which he may recommend as 'just as gooi.
There is no other me icsnal whiskey which
equals puffy's Pure Malt in purity and ex-
cellence.
