How To Keep. Young

How to keep young is subject of uni- versal interest. What does it mean to Keep young? It means to postpone as long as possible the changes due to old age Old age must come eventually to all, but If the changes attending it come before their time, they mean poor health. To keep young is the same thing as to keep healthy, and to keep healthy it is necessary to correct all disturbances of the digestive and assimilative processes. One of the most valuable remedies for this purpose known to medicine is Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. When taken as di- rected in water before meals, it stinu- lates the mucous surfaces and little glands of the stomach to healthy &C., tion,l thereby improving the digestion and assimilation of food and giving to the sys- tenn it's full proportion of nourishment Such action on the digestive process is of great importance for it brings to all the tissues and organs of the body the neurshment necessary to their sus- tenance and indirectly to the whole sys- tenn strength and vigor. When you Get puffy's and Keep We'll, you will become perfectly satisfied that Duffy's Pure Malt. Whiskey is a very important factor in keeping you young also
