Scientists and physicians have

Statistics from cities. large and
small. showing a steady yearly in
crease in the prevalence and fatality
of grip and pneumonia. have demand

system run down from worry. over
work or exposure.
For more than fifty years Duffy
Pure Malt Whiskey has been recog-
nized as wonderful remedy in the
prevention of coughs. colds. grip,
pneumonia, and all diseases of the
respiratory organs. Physicians who
stolidly conform to the ethics OF the
profession publicly recommend it
and are prescribing it for their pa
tients. 1t is in use in leading hospi-
tails Throughout the country
The secret of the marvellous sue
cess of Duny's Pure Malt Whiskey
in curing and preventing throat and
lung troubles lies in the fact that it
is the greatest strengthened and
health builder known to medicine,
and it not only checks the ravages Of
the disease itself, but replaces the
weakened, destroyed tissues, helps
the stomach to more perfectly digest
and assimilate food in order that
more, richer and purer blood may
come from it, and regulates and
governs the hearts action, so that
circulation will be strong and pow
erful, carrying health and vigor to
every organ and part of the human
