THE DEMON OF HURRY,
He Robs the Great American People
of Flesh, Energy and Good
DiEestiOn.
the American people never

The one thing the American people never
do is TO rest.
Nearly everybody we meet seems to be
in continual state of nervous excitement
or possessed of a feverish energy to finish
what they are about and get on to other
work; that is why so many people lose
their health, energy and ambition, become
thin and dyspeptic or fall victims TO ner-
vous exhaustion.
We live in hurry, eat in hurry, and
sleep in hurry, and it is not surprising
that we finally break down. 1t is for this
reason that most of us stand in constant
need of something TO build up the system,
and enable US to stand the severe strains
to which we are subjected.
As a means of preventing the debilitat-
ing effects of worry and overwork. many
eminent physicians recommend the use of
a pure stimuiant at meal time. Pure malt
whiskey has been found to give the best
results, and experiments have proved that
the safest and best of all whiskies is Duff
fy's pure malt. This is because 1t is nc
ordinary whiskey, but a pure medicinal
stimulant which gives stimulative nourfsh-
ment to the whole body. Its health-giving
effects are speedily shown in a clear skin,
a brighter complexion, and increased
strength.
Inquire, and you will be surprised to
find how many friends of yours are also
friends of Duffy's pure malt whiskey.

COMMON PLAIN FOOD.
1t Is Best for Children or Adults.

1t Is Best for Children or Adults.
Natural grains, meat and fruit will make
good blood if the digestive machinery Of
the body is not interfered with.
The blood when first made goes into the
arteries and is of a bright red color. After
it has been used some in supplying the
body. it is carried into the veins and is
there a dark red or purple color. Blood
contains the elements TO nourish and build
up the body, such as iron, soda, lime. dl-
bUmen, etc. etc
When the powers Of the stomach and
the bowels are reduced by lsck of vitality
CT by putting coffee or tea, into the stom-
ach the processes which nature goes
through with to change the food into rich,
red blood are seriously interfered with.
If man could see what a wet blanket
he put over his hard working friend,
the stomach, by putting in coffee, whisky
or tobacco when it was honestly tOiling'
away TO do its work well, he would ReVer
repeat the outrage and injustice. 1t is like
striking your friend a vicious blow when
he is delvfng away for you with might and
main. Don't do it. One feels more respect
for himself when he acts the man and per-
Tnits no form of abuse to strangle and
spoil the beautiful work being done tor
him IN the human body. No sort of fun on
earth is equal to the fun of being thor
oughly well.
If one wants a pungent, piquant, not
drink for breakfast. lunch or dinner, 1t
can be had in Postum, the health coffee 1t
is made wholly of grains by the Postum
Cereal Company Limited, of Battle Creek,
Mich. 1t can be truly said, at makes red
blood" It brews the deep, seal brown col
or of Mocha: ii creams to the rich golden
brown of Java and has an aroma and taste
that make a man thankful that someone
has at last made a combination of tine
grains that gives such a delicious hot
drink that one can readily leave off the
coffee which has been hurting more than
one likes to think of.
Medicines are poor crutches. The only
safety is to use food and drink that the
Creator intended for man, and when this
is done the diseases and sick spells grad
ually disappear.
Common sense is quite uncommon except
with those who give themselves a shaking
now and then and look plainly at what
they are doing. If a person knows coffee
don't hurt him, let him stick to it until he
does, then such people thoroughly app-e-
ciate Postum. Grocers and druggists tes-
tffy to large sales, and the steady use of
those who once try it is evidence of its
taking ways.
"Just as good" as Postum Cereal are
words used to defraud the public.
