Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey is an absolutely
pure distillation qf malted grain; great care
being used to have every kernel thoroughly
malted, thus destroying the germ and producing
a predigested liquid food in the form of a malt
essence, which is the most effective tonic stim-
ulant and inrigorator known to science t softened
by warnth and moisture, its palatability and
freedom from injurious substances render it so
that it can be retained by the most sensitive
stomach.
Any firm that will sell imitation or substitution
goods will sell impure goods. The firm that is
dishonest in ope thing would not hesitate to be
dishonest in another. Whenever you see imita-
tion and substitution goods offered for sale by a
firm, beware of anything and everything put up
by that firm. You endanger your own life and
the lives of your family and friends by dealing
with them.
