for sickness or for family use in any

that does the least harm and the most

want pure whiskey if he could get it,
and yet, the impure article has been
sold so much aud claims so often made
that it was pure that some people do
not know the article orquallications of

Convenience again causes some to
be careless in ordering their whiskey
They either imagine they wifi not get
their orders filled promptly or that we
are too far away to give their orders
the attention they should have. Still
another wrong impression, as we de-

as to local points, and we make a spec
ialty of shipping all orders promptly

During the last three months we have
endeavored to give the readers Of this

to guide them in it's use and buying.
We have already received magnificent
results, and are particularly pleased
with our part of the advertising, and
