whether you find G.. 0. Taylor
Whiskies in any town or city be-
tween Eastport, Me, and Leadville,
Col, you will find the contents of
each bottle to be a counterpart of
another. This whiskey was origin
ally bottled in 1873 for the pur-
pose OF giving physicians a medici-
nal stimulant that could be pre-
scribed for use in the sick room with
full faith in its purity, and that when
prescribed the result attendant with
its medicinal use would never be
found Disappointing We have in
our possession hundreds of testi-
monials from physicians, and shall
take pleasure in mailing to any one,
on request, combination of opin-
ions that appear to have been written
