DUFFY'S Malt WHISKY
FRAUD: BEING EXPOSED
The New Voice., Prohibition
Paper, Exposes Sham ADJ
vertising Frauds
Its Value as a. Medicine Elk
posed by Those Who Have
Looked up Testimonials.

The American public is afflicted with
no worse plague, than the patent medi-
cine advertisements that appear in the
newspapers of the country. Where
physicians are following a we'll known
law IN bringing about cure for stub
born diseases, the ordinary sufferer is
too often wont to be lured by the in
ducing advertisements paid for bv pat-
ent medicine houses, and which give
promise OF a cure to any sufferer from
disease.
Duffy's Malt Whtskey is widely ad-
Vertlsed as cure-all for all ailments
of the human body, but just as the
people are getting alive to the evils
resulting from the use of Liouozone
so are they discovering the fact that
there is a whole lot Of farce in the
pretensions made by Dufry's Malt
Whiskey.
The New Voice, strong Prohibi-
ton paper, published by John G. Wool
ley, hands it to Duffy's Malt Whiskey
in this manner:
Two more doctored testimonials"
of the Duffy Malt W1hiskey fakirs have
turned up.
In one case the victim of the outrage
lives in Reading, Pa, and Mr.. Elias
Hartz Is his name. He Is an old gen
tleman, now 80 years of age, and for
the past 16 years has made his home
with his daughter, Mrs. w. H. Sively,
who lives at 249 Pearl street
This Is the official account Of Mr..
Hartz Testimonial" as put forth in
the flaming advertisements by the Duff
~ Malt Whiskey crowd of fakirs:
Mr.. Elias Hartz, widely known in
Reading, Pa, as the goosebone prophet
says: I have been taking Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey for a number of
years as my only stimulant and tonic.
l am now 81 years old, hale, hearty,
and as vigorous as a man Of 40, and
have every reason to believe I will live
to much ripper old age If I can al
ways have a supply Of Duffy's Pure
Malt Whfskey, which is my only .medi-
cine. I never have cold or indigestion,
or any organic trouble. I know that
1t is your valuable whiskey that has
kept me so free from sickness. I was
troubled with insomnia before I used
it, but now can sleep as restfully as
a baby. I feel no weakness from my
oil dage, and I heartily recommend
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey to any
one who wishes to keep strong, young
and vigorous
The New Voice wrote to Mr.. Hartz,
whom the Duffy folks dub the 'goose'
bone prophet" asking if the "testi-
monial' was genuine and for a state
ment Of the facts in the case.
The following is the reply received,
written by the daughter of the old
gentleman, which indicates that the
"goosebone'' sharks who make this
whiskey and peddle it through false
pretensions, have something to apollo
gize for. The letter is printed just as
it was received:
Reading, June 4, 1905.
mr. Johnson: Your note received
and I will kindly answer for my faith
err. He is very feeble and childish at
the age of SO years and months. He
has made his home with me for 16
years and he never used Duffy's Malt
Whiskey. He has said If he were
younger he would be tempted to prose-
cute them for using his name without
his permission, so you may know that
some of the testimonials that are pub
lished are not true.
yours truly,
MRS. w. H. SIVELY,
