has lost much by leaving to less whole

afford the innocent amusements and so

Why Doctors Say
Drink Pabst Beer
Because II Is Clean and They Know the
Importance Of Clean Food
and Drink,

We have found by careful inquiry that
doctors, in perhaps the large majority OF
cases. prescribe Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer
because they know OF Its absolute pnr putty
and positive cleanliness IT Is the clean
est beer in the world" said one, OF chi
Cages leading doctors the other day
when asked about 1t. What appeals
ia mo" he said. lis the Pabst process,
40 very different from all the rest we
doctors appreciate sterilization, and we
are teaching tho people IN their MONIES aes
every visit we make we emphasize that,
/ have visited all the breweries or I'M
portance In the country, and ! must say
That for absolute cleanliness there Is no
nv practice and drink It myself
I'm our own homes We insist most
strenuously upon our food being clean.
If we stop at hotel or restaurant where
the food or the dishes are unclean; Wo
are quite likely to change boarding places
next time, Are we as careful OF what
wa drink? Purity Is essential. We want
the hest always, and especially do we
want 1t If impurlty or adulteration means
harm But Is not cleanliness IN the
nrennration OF our food or drink OF equal
importance? We think SO, and we be-
lieve our readers agree with us that when
we drink beer we must know 1t IS NOT
only absolutely pure ana wholesome, put
that 1t Is absolutely clean. Pabst beer
as we said before, Is recognized py doc
tors as the cleanest beer,
The aging of Pabst Beer Is another
point wherein the great Pabst brewery
excels. Pabst is the perfectly aged beer.
Not a bottle or n keg ever leaves the
brewery until science and the test OF
time shows 1t fully aged and mellow.
