The Increase in the Deaths Result

Most Alarming, and Physicians
Everywhere are Recommending
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey as a
Reliable Cure and Sure Preventive.
Scientists and physicians have
been appalled, at the rapid increase in
the death rate from acute respiratory
diseases, especially i'll the large cities.
Statistics from cities, large and
small, showing a steady yearly in
crease in the prevalence and fatality
OF grip and pneumonia, have demand
ed an immediate and sure preventive.
Grip and pneumonia attack the
system quickly and relentlessly.
They are especially dangerous at this
aso of the year when exposure to
sudden and sever changes of wealth
er and atmospheric conditions is fire.
quent. They are sure to attack the
system run down from worry, over
work or exposure.
For o than fifty years Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey has been recog
nized as a 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
tents. 1t is in use in leading hospi-
tails Throughout the country.
The secret Of the marvellous sue
cess of Dutty's Pure Malt Whiskey
i'll 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
body.
