Cold Is refreshing in Summer but often terrible in Winter. Cold causes more misery- than fire that gets beyond all control. Cold can be insured against as readily as tire and far more effectively. Cold should be carefully attended to when It first makes Its appearance. Cold can be checked and all Us evil consequences avoided if it is taken promptly and in time. Cold can be counteracted by a pure stimulant and there is only' one that is reliable—Duffy's Pure Malt. Cold comfort awaits the man or woman who fails to act upon this suggestion whenever a chill makes its appearance. Cold shoulder and even contempt should be shown any' druggist or grocer who tries to sell you comething which he says is “just as good." He is deceiving you.
