LONELY OLD PEOPLE.
How the Sunset of Life May Be Made
Most CHARMING

There are many elderly ladies', whose
strength is feeble, whose digestion is poor
and for whom life has no pleasure There
are others who are the very picture of health.
Dc you know why?
1t is not difficult to answer The truth is
that healthy old people are those who possess
the most vitality and whose digestions are
good. Women who are weak in advanced
years lack this vitality. If they would be
strong they must gently stimulate the sys-
tenn. Thousands of elderly people have dis
covered way OF doing this and some are
giving others the benefit of their experience
Mr. Alfred p Chapman. of 90 Hanover
street, Baltimore, says ''My grandmother.
who is now past ninety years of age has
been using Duffy's pure malt whiskey for
some time past, and it has acted almost like
a charm, giving her an appetite, and allay-
ing all disorders of the stomach. l am CON
WINGED that it is a splendid thing for elderly
people who require tonic as well as slim
ulant.
Dr. 5. Weir Mitchell recently said: THE
safest drink for people who wish to enjoy a
hale and hearty old age is pure whiskey. 3"
1t should be remembered, however. that there
is only one absolutely pure whiskey, and that
is Dufy's pure malt. 1t is pure, healthfuI
stimulant which builds up the system. re
stores lost vitality and makes weak peop!e
strong and well.

Some of the official reporters have

through the favorable investments OF
those earnings. Mr. White has been in
a number Of profitable enterprises, and
he could retire from work if he chose.

for he sees all the presidents state
