GOING DOWN THE HILL

Old Age Creeping on Shows Itself In Lack
Lustre Eyes and Trembling Hands
Many Who Are Old in Years are vigor-
Gus and HeaIthy-How Such a Condition
may be Encompassed by AL
How many elderly men end women we see
who plainly show they ar5 'going down the
hill" The trembling hand, the uncertain
step, the lack of brightness in the eye, the
shrunken features, all indicate that life is
not ut high tide, that the strength and vital
forces are not what they once were, and in
fact, that they are going down the hill. This,
of course, is to be expected, for when one
reaches later years, physical troubles are
sure to come, but how many eide.:y people
we see are healthy, happy and comparative
ly vigorous. They always seem cheerful,
bright, contented. Why should not all be
equally fortunate? II certainly is possible
Every elderly man and woman needs to
gently assist nature, all the while needs to
take some pure stimulant regularly. Every
doctor in the land admits this, and its COM
mon sense must Ue manifest to all. 1t should
not be understood, however, that any ordi.
nary stimulant would be recommended. 1t
giving and strength-imparting. Such
stimulant can be found only in Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey. 1t is the only medicinal
whiskey in the market. Its wonderful popu-
larity is due entirely to its power and what
it has accomplished. Any elderly man or
woman through its use may certainly pre-
serve the health, and may reasonably
expect to prolong the lie. Do not be in
duced. however, to try any inferior article
or any which the druggist or grocer may
seek to put in its place. There is nothing
which can accomplish the same object.
