MORE POISONING. The Wholesale Slaughter That Going On In Our Great Cities Investigated and Explained. CITY NEWS PARAGRAPHS.

The Sanitary News, in its latest issue, publishes some astounding comparisons made by Dr. Charles Smart, U. 8. between the death-rate from typhoid fever in New Orleans, a city without sewerage, but using pure rain water for drinking purposes, and in Philadelphia, a city with a sewer system and a contaminated water supply. In brief it is shown that deaths from this disease in twenty years -in 1866 to 1885-have fallen from 65 to 16 in every 100,000 of population in New Orleans, while in Philadelphia the average in the ten years ending in 1885 was a fraction over 66 per 100,000.

The Sanitary News figures point with an uner. ring finger to the water supply as the principal medium of communicating this disease." Alas, upon this subject there can be no doubt. Water has killed more soldiers than bullets, and it is dealing death the system It carries and the sustains germs them of disease after they into have lodgeu there. But the great water- -drinking public says: "What shall I do? Drink beer By no means, for this is far worse than water. Beer clogs the system, makes one bilious, and is a greater source of disease than poisonous water.

The only way by which the poisonous germs in the water can be killed is by mixing pure spirits with the water. But here comes another difficulty. Where can pure spirits be ob. tained Fortunately that has been demonstrated and doctors and chemists unhesitatingly agree that beyond a doubt Daly's Malt Whiskey is absolutely pure. It lias been before the public for years.

It has been tested and analyzed by hundreds of chomists and not one particle of fusel oll has ever been found in it. By mixing a small amount of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey in a glass of water all diseased germs are instantly killed. But the mixture of this pure whiskey with the water not only counteracts and prevents poison, It also adds tone and vigor to the life. Every man and woman requires physical help. The philosophy of all medicine is to "assist nature." Therefore the use of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey in water is both a sure preventive of poison and an absolute help to the life.

Doctors innumerable confirm this and scientific proof invariably asserts the same truth The English Board of Examiners appointed by the British Government cent. reported off. cially as follows: "Ten per of pure whiskey taken at meal time is a most valuable aid to digestion." Duffy's Malt Whiskey is the only worthy preparation market, and has stood the test of time, although surrounded by numerous unworthy imitations. Beware of any other boitled whiskey which may be offered to you. Duffy' a Formula is a positive cure for coughs, colds and all pulmouary troubles.
