What is the Difference.

er for the genuine
JOHANN HoFF's MALT EXTRACT
you are often puzzled to
know why he tries to sell
you some other make, which
he advises you to take, and
which he generally repre-
sents to be just as good and
much cheaper, etc. 1t may
be cheaper, but is it really
just as good? Does he
really mean what he says?
We venture to say that he
does not know the differ
ence, and judges only by the
appearance of the bottle,
which usually looks like the
genuine. 1t is a fact that
almost all those cheap sub
stitutes have adopted bot
ties Of a shape similar to
those in which the genuine
JOHANN HoFF's MALT EXTRACT
is sold, but that is all they
have in common with each
other. What is the differ
ence? This is the question
which you want to have
answered, and answered
correctly.
All those cheap substi-
tutes are no more or less
than strong beers put up
by some brewery under the
misnomer of Malt Extracts.
They are dear because they
are not what they represent
to be. They are strongly
alcoholic, and contain only
a small percentage of actual
extractive matter malt.
The genuine JOHANN HoFF's
MALT EXTRACT is just the re-
versa very minute per-
centage of alcohol, and
strong in extractlve matter
malt.
The substitute malts are
dear at any price, because
you will never obtain the
needed results. One dozen
bottles ofthe genuine JOHANN
HoFF's MALT EXTRACT is equal
In nutritive and tonic pro-
perties to one cask of ale,
without being intoxicating.
The results obtained by
the use of the genuine JOHANN
HoFF's MALT EXTRACT Justify
all we claim for it. Here is
what Prof. Prosper de Petra
Santa, of Paris, says of it:
AS a large number of
patients lack the necessary
power to digest solid food,
and would through the use
of stimulants be merely ex-
cited and weakened, there
fore, regard it of immense
value to the practitioner to
bring to his aid nutritious
tonic and remedy like the
JOHANN HoFF's MALT EXTRACT,
which will act not only as
a tonic, but as a nutrient as
we'll, and which is less excl
ting than wine as a stimu-
liant"
Mrs. Pauline Weiss, the
wife of Mr.. Weiss, the we'll
known druggist at the cor
ner of Sixth Street and
Seventh Avenue, New York,
writes to us as follows:
con the advice of my hus-
band, | used the genuine
JOHANN HoFF's MALT EXTRACT,
and find it the only Malt
Extract that gives me
strength. After being sick
for some time | tried the

COURT MATTERS AT CALAIS.

Line-Grand Jury Indictments.

Calais, April 30-A case of o good deal
of interest to the people of this county

number of the due bills. and furnished
various supplies from the store of the
Whitneyyille agency, at Whitneyvllle,

request and upon his personal credit. Col.
Greene admitted that the due bills cor
reCtly represented Un6 several sulus uuo
the men TO whom they were given for the
labor which they had performed upon the
railroad, but denied the authority of his
nephew, r. B. Greene, to sign the same
in the manner in which they were signed.
He further commended that the labor and
supplies were contracted for by him for
and In the name of the Maine Shore Line
railroad, of which he was president, and
that the liability for the same was that
q Nd ,o% nal
liability of his own. The jury returned
a verdict for the plaintiff for $1sS3.25.

senting five indictments. MilIbridge
