 In a recent letter Mir. Swords wrote: 'I am an old soldier of 70 years. My trouble is with my throat and general debility. Have read a good deal about DuGy's Pure Malt Whiskey and the good it has done many. While l hesitate to have my name in print. cannot refrain from giving my testimony regarding the great benefit l have received from the use of DuGy's Pure MaIt Whis- key. During the last two years my lungs and throat have given me much trouble. Taking DuGy's Pure Malt Whiskey according to the di- rechons on the bottle. l found helped me wonderfully. It IS a fine tonic for building up the system.
 DuGy's Pure Malt Whiskey is an absolutely pure disdllation of matted grain; great care being used to have every Kernel thoroughly matted, thus destroying the germ and producing predigested liquid food in the form of malt essence. which is the most effective tonic sdmulant and invigor- ator known to science; softened by warmth and moisture its palatability and freedom from injurious substances render it so that it can be retained by the most sensitive stomach.
