A DANGEROUS TINE.
Just Now In When You Must he
Specially Careful.

There Is no season of the year which
has more real dangers than the present"
This remark was made by an eminent
scientist who had been a close observer
for many years. Thus continuing. he
said:
People who have passed through the
summer, even IL they have taken a va
cation, are more or less in rundown
and exhausted condition at the opening
OF the fall season. The muscles have be-
come relaxed, the pores OF the skin are
open. and the heat of the body causes ex-
posture TO drafts which are none the less
dangerous because they are not felt.
THE great danger from all this Is
pneumonia which is getting TO be the
most subtle. as well as most dangerous.
disease of American life. II comes quick
w and too often II ends quickly. lt as
sumes many forms, but they are all Sc
rious and too often fatal"
Every man or woman who feels any
sudden change which causes a cough,
cold. Tightening of the nostriis a chill or
muscular pains, should take a good. pure
health-giying stimulant Take II medl-
cinally. and remember that the best IN
the market Is Duffy's Pure Malt Whis-
KEY which has been before the public for
wears. and has done more to counteract
pneumonia than any other preparation
known to the world Do not let any drug
gisf or grocer persuade you to take
ANYTHING else that he may say is just
as good
