ALL I'M ONE SHORT DAY.
Variety of Spring Weather and What
IL Lends To.


Il Leads To.
In the morning the Snow fell as IL mil
liohs of white birds were shedding their
feathers. By noon the snow had turned
into sulIen, beating rain. yet the sun
set in unclouded glory. That is the history
of an American spring day. This sort of
spring does not inspire poets, but 1t un-
chains the demon called Grip, and what
havoc he makes in the community. No
trouble TO tell when he has begun his mis-
chief. The headache, that banishes rest
by day and makes the night long tor
ture: the pain in bone and muscle: the
nervousness: the cough that refuses to be
auieted. and the rawness of throat and
the soreness of lung all tell the story:
Naturally. this vicious foe to life has
set the doctors thinking, talking, and writ
ing. For once they are agreed. The best
OF all Grip medicines is a stimulant to
rouse every latent energy of the body, and
at the same time 10 be free from every
trace of deleterious matter
The. one stimulant that meets these con-
ditions is Duffy's pure malt whiskey. So
says public opinion; so says the medical
profession. Always, at this time of the
year, keep a bottle of this whiskey in the
house, and you need have no fear of Grip
or OF its consequences. For sale by all
druggists and grocers.
