Death Is Near

a little while ago a strong, robust young man, in the
prime of life, who lived at Elizabeth and did business
in New York city, had a lllight cough. It was so slight
that he paid no attention to it, and continued his office
work. In four days it went to his lungs, and lie died
from pneumonia within a week. Many such
cases are happening every day, and every one
of them can be
EASILY CURED BY
DUFFY'S PURE
MALT WHISKY
The dose is a teaspoonful in a half glass of
milk or water every two hours until the congh
is relieved, It is a SURE CURE. It will cure
any cough in :4 hours if the patient will use it
as directed.
Statistics show that 75 per cent. of all deaths are from lung troubles, and that oa
per cent, of pneumonia, pleurisy and constumption begin with a slight cough allowed to
rtun on without treatment. Nearly every case could have been quickly cured and prevented
by Duffy's P'ttre Malt Whiskey.
.Caught Colds Let it Rfnt Dying of Consumptllon
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey Cured Me.'
This, briefly, Is the story of a promising young man of Washington, D.D.. He says
"I caught coll and let it run on. h'lhuight it would get well, but it kept getting
worse. I had bIronchitis, with pains in my lungs. Pneumonia set in, and my doctor said
nothing would prevent my dying of consumption.
"Fortunately for me, a comsin came to see me when he heard I was dying, and urged
me to try Duffy's Pure AMalt Whinkey. '.1hl me it had cured him of a bad case of pneu.
nuonia, and that he knew of lots of people it hald cured of all kinds of throat, lung and
stomach troubles.
"The change came before I had finished half a bottle. I felt stronger and more hope.
ful. I wa' so flmuch better at the end of the second bottle that I could go out. Five
bottles completely cured me. I have gained 3o pounds, and am today, a strong, husky man,
able to do a hard day's work alongside of anyone. D)uffy's Pure Malt Whiskey saved my
life. and I recommend it to everyone." R. I))RISEY, j346 Florida Ave., N. W.
This is but one of some 4.o0o,mno cures made by D)uffy's during the past 5o years. It is
so murch better than any other medicine or combination of medicines for coughs, cokhl
catarrh, grip, bronchitis, pneumonia, consump.
ti,, and all throat and lung troubles that it is
prcscribecd Iby over 7.aoo doctors astll usel
reclusively in more than s,oo0 hospitals. It'4

andl stimulant. which acts directly upon the
tissues and quickly kills the disease germs.

CAUTION.--Wien you ask for Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey be sure you
get the genuine. Unscrupulous dealers, mindful of the excellence of this
preparation, will try to .ell you cheap imitations and malt whiskey substl
tutes, which are put on the market for profit only, and which, far from re
lieving the sick, are positively harmful. Demand "Duffys" and be sure you
get it. It is the only absolutely pure Malt Whiskey which contains medici
nal, health giving qualities. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is sold in sealed
bottles only; never In flask or bulk. Look for the trade-mark, the ,'Old
Chemist," on the label, and be certain the seal over the cork is unbroken.
Beware of refilled bottles.

Hot Debate in Chambers
Lead to Arrangements
for Terrible Duel.
sY ASIOCIATED' PIII.S,.
Paris, Nov. 13.--'l'he senate was crowd
ed yesterday in the expectation that M.
Combes would make a declaration of the
purposes of the government respecting the
religious associations.
Contrary to the opinion, M. Waldeck
Rous~seau, the former premier, announced
his opposition to the governmental propo
sition to forbid teaching by those who had
taken the vow of celibacy.
M. Colmbes declared the government ac
cepted the principle of the proposition, but
said it intended bringing in a general pro
ject of law forbidding primary, secondary
and superior teaching to all members of
congregations.
Concerning members of the secular
clergy the government reserved its course
until a determination on toie question on
the subject of church and state had been
expressed. It was his earnest wish to
speedily conclude the entire teaching ques
tion so that the country might again be
tranquilizedl .- .. ' '. . ,
The senate passed the first clause of the
government's proposition repealing exist
ing legislation.
In the chamber of deputies yesterday
there was a further aiscussion of the war
budget. During the debate there was a
violent altercation between Henry Maur
tice Bertaux, radical-socialist, and George
Berthoulat, independent republican. A
uuel has been arranged.
