Way to Prevent.

l. Cutting run down and exhausted

arising from the same cause.
8. Keeping too late hours at night, and
sleeping too late in the morning.
L. Ncglecting 10 take sufficient exer-
else 10 keep the body healthy, through
feeling too tired to do so, by reason OF a
weakened system
s. Neglocting to wash the body suiiicl-
emily to keep the pores Of the skin open.
8. Keeping up a constant excitement

trouble
z. Taking meals at irregular Intervals.
s. Iniuring the stomach by deluging II
with copious draughts OF ice water.
O. Through getting IN draughts While
overheated from active exercise.
10. Indigestlble food taken late at
night. which cause billiousness and other
unpleasant symptoms.
There is only one way in which health
can be maintained or regained in spite
Of all these dangers which menace II, and
that IS by the aid OF a gentle, heaithful
stimulant which will keep the blood in
proper circulation, destroy impurities
which enter the system. and give Ngor
and tone TO the whole body. Such an
aid IS 20 be found I'm the use Of Duffy s
pure malt whisky. which physicians so
strongly recommend as the best and only
means Of maintaining health, streng and
