DANGER JUST AHEAD
A Prominent Professor Speaks bon
the Threatening Things Abroad
at This Time of the Year.

at is surprising how many people are
suffering today from so-called coughs, COLDS
and influenza"
The remark was made by a very promi-
nent professor, connected with one of the
leading New York hospitals. Continuing,
he said:
1T is not these things that are troubling
people, hut it is an advanced form OF our
old enemy, the grip. People feel out OF
sorts, sneeze, have pains i'll the muscles and
bones, have no appetite, lose all interest IN
the world and wonder what is the matter.
1t is the grip, nothing else.
"Now, all such symptoms need to have
prompt treatment. The attack must be
met and repealed at once, or it is certain to
run into something serious. know OF but
one way to certainly avoid these troubles
which are now so common, and that Is TO
Immediately counterfeit them by using a
good, pure, strong stimulant. Nothing OF
the ordinary kind, but something pure and
scientific. For this purpose nothing has
ever equalled Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey,
which is acknowledged today by physicians
and scientific people to be the only pure,
medicinal malt whiskey upon the market"
The words of the professor are true, and
they carry a wonderful meaning to many
men and women who are suffering with the
first symptoms of grip, or else grip In Its
advanced stages. For all such people we
offer a word of advice, which is to take the
best means to overcome these troubles ana
do not permit any dealer to swerve you
from your purpose to nave that which has
proven itself by years of use, to be the best
and purest stimulant in the world.
