WHAT WOMEN NEED.
There Are Hnnnnierablc Things That
Contribute ia Their om fort Their
Happiness and Their Health.

'Women are naturally weaker than
men and more respondent. They suf-
fer and require assistance. Far too
often this is not appreciated. but 1t is
nevertheless necessary. Men are made
to battle with the world and each other;
women possess the gentler traits which
entitle them to consideration and kind
ness. 1t stands to reason that when wo-
men do not feel well when their strength
seems all zone and they are respondent,
often discouraged, they need, indeed
must have, assistance. This assistance
can best be rendered in the form of
some gentle stimulant which enables
them to regain their strength, preserve
their health, their beauty, and their at
Effectiveness. AT such times nothing
can equal a medicinal whiskey, and Duff
fey's Pure Malt is the only preparation
which has ever met this requirement.
There are women who realize this truth
fully, and follow carefully the path
named. They realize their needs and
always act upon such knowledge"
The above remarks were made by a
bright and prominent lady in New York
society, and she voiced the sentiment of
hundreds of others who have passed
through similar experiences. This great
medicinal whiskey, which is the only
one on the market that possesses the
power named. can be procured of any
reputable druggist or grocer. Do not be
induced to take any other.
