Johann Hoff's Malt Extract

w men you ask your dealer tor the
genuine JOHANN HOFFS MALT
EXTRACT you are often puzzled to
know why he tries to sell you some
other make, which he advises you to
take, and which he generally repre-
sents to be just as good and much
cheaper, etc 1t may be cheaper,
but is it really just as good? Does
he really mean what he says? We
venture to say that he does not know
the difference, and judges only by
the appearance of the bottle, which
usually looks like the genuine. 1t is
fact that almost all those cheap
substitutes have adopted bottles of a
shape similar to those in which the
genuine JOHANN HOFFS MALT
EXTRACT is sold, but that is all
they have in common with each 9TH
er. What is the difference? This is
the question which you want to have
answered, and answered correctly.
All those cheap substitutes are no
more or less than strong beers put
up by some brewery under the mis-
homer of Malt Extracts. They are
dear because they are not what they
represent to be. They are strongly
alcoholic, and contain only a small
percentage of actual extractive mat
ter-malt. The genuine JOHANN
HOFF'S MALT EXTRACT is Just
the reversal very minute percent
age of alcohol, and strong in extract
i've matter-malt.
The substitute malts are dear at
any price, because you will never OBJ
tain the needed results. One dozen
bottles of the genuine JOHANN
HOFF'S MALT EXTRACT is
equal in nutritive and tonic proper
ties to one cask of ale, without being
Intoxicating.
The results obtained by the use of
the genuine JOHANN HOFF'S
MALT EXTRACT justify all we
claim for it. Here is what Prof.
Prosper de Petra Santa of Paris says
of it:
"As large number of patients
lack the necessary power to digest
solid food, and would through the
use of stimulants be merely excited
and weakened, therefore, l regard it
OF immense value to the practitioner
to bring to his aid a nutritious tonic
and remedy like the JOHANN
HOFF'S MALT EXTRACT, which
will act not only as a tonic, but as a
nutrient as well, and which is less
exciting than wine as stimulant."
Mrs. Pauline Weiss, the wife of
MIR. Weiss, the well-known druggist
at the corner of Sixth street and Sec
ond avenue, New York, writes to us
as follows:
"On the advice of my husband, I
used the genuine JOHANN
HOFF'S MALT EXTRACT, and
find it the only Malt Extract that
gives me strength After being sick
for some time | tried the various
Extracts of Malt, made at the differ
ent breweries, and got no effect from
the same X "
For nearly fifty years the genuine
JOHANN HOFFS MALT EX-
TRACT has been on the market,
and leads all others today. Physi-
clans, Kings, Emperors and others
have testified to its efficacy, and it is
used all over the world. 1t has re-
celved seventy-six awards from sci
entlfic societies and exhibitions.
If you are really in need of good
appetizer, strengthener and tonic
which will make flesh and blood, buy
the genuine JOHANN HOFF'S
MALT EXTRACT, and take no
other. 1t is the cheapest in the end.
