Only a Cold!
Yes; but a cold frequently has a
serious ending. Chronic coughs,
pneumonia, bronchitis and con
sumption all start with a cold.
Neglected colds cause mote than
two-thirds of all the deaths in
America.
There is a i ight way and a wrong
way to cure a cold but you can
maKe no mistake in using
Daffy Pure
Malt Whiskey
It is a pure healthful stimulant
which quickens the circulation and
restores healthy action to every
part of the body. Itisasuie cure
for colds, malaria, pneumonia. It
assists nature and builds up the
system.
Do not be induced to take any
inferior whiskey which your dealer
may try to substitute, but be sine
that you get Duffy's. Nothing else
can produce the same effects.
