WHAT OTHERS SAY.
The Words of Friends Are Genuine
and Reliable.

1t is easy for people TO talk about them
selves and state what they have done
but 1t is far better to have other people
speak for you. The words which follow
are the frank expressions of people who
know of what they speak.
MIR. John *. Chase, Amesbury, Mass,
says: For some six years past my wife
has been suffering from nervous prostra-
tion. For years she was troubled with in
somnia and nothing recommended by the
most eminent physician would induce
sleep. Under the advice of physician she
recently tried Duffy's Malt Whiskey in
small quantities and with the most salts
factory results. While Mrs. Chase has
always been staunch in her temperance
principles and consistent in practice, she
mas no hesitation in recommending to in
valids who need n gentle stimulant
Duhy's Pure Malt Whiskey."
l.. G. Avila, of the Brooklyn associa-
tion for improving the condition of the
poor. says: 81 have used Duffy's Malt
Whiskey for the past two years, having
suffered from severe headaches and nerv-
Gus prostration. / have been very much
relieved by the use of the wliskey and
have gained seventeen pounds in weight"

and that Jefferson Brick and Elijah
Pogram have "fretted their hour upon
