TAKE GOOD ADVICE.
Many Men and Women Have Met Dis

IN Do So.

ut is a wonder people live as long as
they do" said a leading physician whiie
conversing with some newspaper frienus
recently Every breath that is taken
contains poison. Millions of germs, SO
small they cannot be seen by the naked
eye, are drawn into the lungs, the throat,
the stomach, and while many or them die'
thousands OF them live and feed upon the
body, and cause what is called disease.
Germs are the source OF all disease; xiii
the germs, and you cure the disease.
SO Interested were his listeners with the
above remarks that the doctor continued:
you naturally ask what will kill these
germs? / am sorry to say. only few
things. The surest safeguard against all
germs Is pure whiskey-pure, mind you.
Germs do not thrive where ii is used
judiciously. Unfortunately, there Is but
little pure whiskey to be had, and know
Of but one which l can absolutely recon-
mend, and that Is Duffy's. l have ana
lyzed It carefully and found no fusel oil,
no impurities. and nothing that could
harm even a child. Duffy's Pure Matt
Whiskey is recommended by such high
medical authorities as DR.. Henry A. Mott,
Professor William T. Cutter, DR.. Carnwell,
and others Understand me, advocate the
use of whiskey only as a medicine, and
not as a beverage. AS medicine, ii Is
strengthening, restoring, and benetcial,
and is endorsed In the highest terms
Under no circumstances, even as medi-
cine use any but the pure, and do not
allow any druggist to persuade you to
take any other.
