THE MOBNING OREGOUIAN, RATTTRDiY, NOVEMBER 9, 1901,
TRADE IS BUILDING UP
3DSIKE1S OP COAST PORTS IS COM
ING HERE.
Steamer Alliance Bring a Mixed
Cargo Seven Carloads of Ap
ples lor Chicago.
The steam schooner Alliance is discharg
ing cargo at the foot of Couch street.
The cargo consists of 720 tons of lumber,
fruit and miscellaneous products from
Eureka, Coos Bay and Port Orford. Trade
between Portland and Coast ports has
much Increased of late. The strike at
San Francisco started business toward
this city which had before gone to the
Bay City, and the business has been gain
ing momentum ever since.
The lumber brought by the Alliance con
sists of 60,000 feet of redwood for the East
and 60,000 for Portland planing mills. The
redwood is from Humboldt County, Cali
fornia, and was loaded at Eureka. Most
of the redwood shipments from Eureka to
the East go by way of San Francisco.
This consignment to the East through
Portland may be the beginning of a. much
larger movement this way. In the cargo
are also two carloads of doors for Boston,
two carloads of matchwood and two or
broomhandlcs from Port Orford, and 5000
boxes, or about seven carloads, of apples
from Coos Bay, bound for Chicago. Next
trip the Alliance will bring 5000 boxes
more. The fruit is the best of its kind,
equal to the celebrated Hood River prod
uct. The Alliance Is scheduled to sail south
tomorrow. Her return cargo will consist
'chiefly of merchandise and groceries. It
will also Include 20 pianos for Coos Bay.
On the next trip to Portland the Alliance
will bring another large quantity of red
wood.. THE 31ERCHAXT MARINE.
Third Successful Year of Growth in
American Shipping.
"WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. The report of
Mr. Chamberlain, the United States Com
missioner of Navigation, says that thft
past fiscal year has been the third suc
cessful year of growth In American ship
ping. The extent and nature of work un
der way, or projected in shipyards, prom
ises an even greater growth for the cur
Tent fiscal year. Amorlcan tonnage -has
now attained practically the former max.
Imum of 1S51. The figures of 1901 compared
with 1S61 show an increase In coasting
trade vessels from 2,074.544 tons to 4,6S2,6&3
tons (two-thirds of this Increase being on
the Great Lakes), a decrease in foreign
trade vessels from 2,496,919 tons to 879,395
tons, and a decrease in whaling and fish
ing vessels from 33S.375 tons to 61,910 tons.
Of our total tonnage, 3,623,210 tons are
wooden vessels, and only 1,901,017 tons are
Iron or steel. In 1900, Great Britain
launched 1.440,000 tons of steel vessels.
Porto Rico appears in the returns with
25 vessels, of 5297 tons, and Hawaii with
64 vessels, of 37,149 tons. In the Philip
pines. 2310 vessels of 102,581 tons (of which
149 are steam vessels) are under American
protection. Until Congress has so enacted,
the report says. Philippine vessels are not
vessels of the United States.
Although registered American vessels
increased 62,635 tons during the year,
American vessels carried only 812 per cent
of her exports and imports, the smallest
percentage In our history. Our fleet of
ocean steamers In foreign trade, the re
port says. Is too small to, be compared
with that of foreign nations. The fleets
of each of the four large British and Ger
man steamship corporations exceed the
American fleet In tonnage, mileage and
business. Their tonnage, as documented
In the United States during the past fiscal
year, comprises 1580 vessels, of 483,469 gross
tons.
The steel vessels under construction or
under contract during the current fiscal
year will much exceed similar tonnage
built In any previous year. The bureau
Is advised of 89 such merchant vessels of
355.465 .gross tons, to be valued at about
53C.000.000. Besides these, 71 naval vessels
of 281,148 tons diplacement are building.
In this work, 44 plants, with a capital of
about $68,000,000, employing about 46,000
men, aro engaged.
The American cost of building a steamer
of the Minnehaha type is 51,646,800, and the
British cost is $1,419,200. The American
cost of the smaller transatlantic cargo
steamer will be $729,000, and the British
price ranges from 5534,000 to 5186.000.
The difference In wages on American
and foreign vessels Is considered in de
tail. As an illustration, the pay-roll (ex
cluding master) of 3S0 men on the steam
ship St. Louis Is $11,300; of 427.men on the
British steamship Oceanic is $9900, and of
900 men on the German steamship Kaiser
Wilhelm der Grosse, 57715.
The report contains a detailed statement
of the foreign voyages of American ves
sels last year, showing that the American
flag was seen oftener in the North At
lantic during President Jefferson's em
bargo (1808) or during the cruises of the
Alabama than at present. Foreign ship
ping In our Pacific trade has been doubled
In three years. The purchase of the Ley
land line is spoken of in the report as evi
dence that American capital is willing to
invest In ocean steamships; that there Is
an advantage to American exporters In
American control of ocean steamships,
even If not under the American flag, and
In the coming development of our ocean
transit facilities, the union trunk rail
road hues anu steamship . corporations
will be an important factor. Including
the Leyland purchase, American capital
owns fully 670,000 tons of steamers under
foreign flags, which in actual carrying
power exceed all American vessels now
engaged In the foreign trade. The War
and Navy Departments also own 126,847
gross tons of foreign-built transports and
colliers.
Tho principal foreign and American
ocean mall contracts are printed In full,
and it Is shown that at the present prices
o"f steamships, British ocean mail con
tracts are more advantageous for steamer
lines than American contracts under the
act of 189L
BACK FROM THE YUKON.
Captain James Cox, Who Took a
Stern-Wheeled Boat to St. Michael.
Captain James Cox, a well-known steam
boatman of this city, has returned from
the Yukon. He enjoys the distinction of
being the only man who has taken a
river steamboat to the Yukon without
convoy and with her own power. Other
boats have been towed to the Yukon,
but never have gone there under their
own steam.
Captain Cox left Victoria the middle of
August. The distance to St. Michael Is
3000 miles, and this was covered in 30
days. Some rough weather was met with,
but the voyage was for the most part
pleasant. When the sea became rough
Captain Cox put into a bay for shelter.
The roughest and most dangerous part of
the voyage was across Behring Sea, hut
the boat got through safely. The steamer
was as safe and sound when she reached
St. Michael as when she left Victoria.
Captain Cox started with 135 tons of coal
and reached his destination with one ton
left. No vessel was spoken during the
voyage and iue boat was given up as lost,
even by her owners. September 17 she
started up the river to Dawson City,
where she arrived October 10. Not a cake
of Ice was seen along the entire river and
the weather was extremely pleasant. Cap
tain Cox returned home by White Pass.
"I was Just as confident of my ability to
take the Casca to St. Michael under her
own steam as to navigate her on the Co
lumbia," said Captain Coz yesterday.
"River steamboats can be taken to Alaska
this way much more safely than by tow
ing. Barges can be towed without dan
ger, hut it is different with stern-wheeled
steamboats. Pulling such a craft through
the open sea simply Jerks her to pieces.
Here Is convincing evidence: The Glenora
and Namona, boats similar to the Casca,
left Victoria In tow six weeks v before I
did. They reached St. Michael four days
earlier than my boat, one of them with f
her smokestack gone and both badly bat
tered. The Staghound and Gamecock,
which left Portland several years ago for
Alaska and put back all but wrecked, are
further evidence of wb,at I say.
"The climate of Alaska In Spring and
Summer is delightful. Spring opens there
two months earlier than it does here. The
cold of Winter is of course very Intense,
but in the other seasons no better climate
exists on earth. The agricultural possi
bilities of the country are good. In my
opinion, It will some day supply Itself with
produce. Just now gold Is hunted for and
not land for farms,
"Freight for Dawson Is going more and
more by St. Michael and the Yukon. The
cost of transportation Is "much less this
way than by the White Pass foute. Pas
sengera will always go by the railroad to
White Horse, as the Journey to Dawson
by this line takes seven days, whereas by
the other route It takes a month.
"The steamboats between St. Michael
and Dawson are run mostly by Ameri
can pilots, who are the real masters of
them. Several well-known Columbia River
men ran boats on the Yukon last Summer,
among them Captain George Shaver,
George Raab, Frank Turneri James Lee,
Al Gray and James Gray."
ON UPPER WILLAMETTE.
Traffic to Be Divided and More Boats
Operated.
Transportation facilities on the Upper
Willamette will be much Improved by an
agreement which, has been made by the
O. R. & N. and the Oregon City Trans
portation Company. By this arrangement
Salem and Dayton will have a daily boat
service. Tickets will be interchangeable
on tho two lines of boats. The Oregon
City Transportation Company has had the
only regular boats on the upper river for
some time. The O. R. & N. Co. will' now
share the traffic. Four boats will be op
erated hereafter instead of two. Passen
ger and freight rates will not be changed.
The -new schedule will go Into effect Mon
day. The O. R. & N. will employ the Ruth
and the Modoc, and the other company
the Pomona and the Altona. Each
steamer will make trl-weekly trips, the
Altona and Modoc between Portland and
Dayton, and the Ruth and Pomona be
tween Portland and Salem. The Altona
will leave for Dayton and McMinnvllle
Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings
at 7 o'clock. The Modoc will make the
trip Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday,
leaving here at 7 A. M. When water Is
high enough, the Modoc will run through
to McMinnvllle. The boats will return the
next day after leaving this city. The
Ruth will leave Portland for Salem Mon
day, Wednesday and Friday at 6:45 A. M.,
and return on alternate days. The Po
mona will start from Portland Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday at 7 A. M. When
depth of water will permit, these boats
will run to Corvallis.
This agreement restores the division of
the traffic which prevailed up to a few
months ago.
SUFFERINGS OF TWO MEN.
Started for Nome and Lost Their
Provisions One Died.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8. The steam
whaler Narwhal, which has returned
from a two and one-half years cruise in
the Arctic, brings a story of extreme pri
vation which resulted In the death of one
sailor and the recovery of another after
much suffering a'nd the sacrifice of both
his legs. While the Narwhal was in Win
ter .quarters at Bailee Island, about 200
miles from the mouth of the McKenzle
River, two of the crew, Andrew Ellstrom
and Herman Myrus, deserted and started
to Cape Nome overland with a sledload
f provisions and two dogs. When a few
hours on their Journey they lost all of
their provisions with the exception of a
bag of flour. After tramping 72 hours
without resting, Myrus succumbed to the
cold.
Ellstxom, with the dog team, dragged
Myrus after him to a deserted native hut.
For several days the two men subsisted
on dry flour and dog flesh. A man from
the Narwhal, sent out to trade with the
natives, discovered the men and a relief
party was sent out from the Narwhal.
The relief party, when It reached the hut,
found Ellstrom had died from cold and
Myrus was unconscious. In order to save
his life, both his feet were amputated.
Myrus 'and Ellstrom were absent 30 days
from the ship before the rescue party
reached them.
CAUGHT IN THE ICE.
Vessel "Was Rounding Cape Horn
Fair Wind Helped Her Ont.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 8. The first
vessel to be caught in Antarctic Ice this
season was the sugar-laden bark Nuuanu,
which was docked at the Spreckels' sugar
refinery today, after a run of 129 days
from the Hawaiian Islands. The Nuuanu
left Honolulu In June last, and, after
having encountered two severe gales in
the Pacific Ocean, was caught In the field
Ice In the early part of September while
rounding Cape Horn Tm her way to the
Atlantic Ocean. The wind was fair at
the time, and this enabled the Nuuanu
to work her way into clear water. Cap
tain Josslyn, the vessel's master, calcu
lated that the ice was about 80 miles south
of Cape Horn.
The Nuuanu's run. was over 14,000 miles.
She is the first of a fleet of sugar-laden
vessels bound from the Hawaiian Islands
to Philadelphia and New York, which, it
is said, are to displace steamerjs, which
have found the trade unprofitable, owing
to the long run.
BRITISH TRADE "WANING.
Decline in Exports in Ten Months
750,000.
NEW YORK. Nov. 8. British trade re
turns for October show a further decline
in tho volume of the nation's commerce,
says the Tribune's London representative.
There is a drop of 750,000 in exports,
as compared with October, 1900, while 10
months of the year give diminution of
nearly 10,000,000. The fall In the last
month was due mainly to the diminished
value of the coal exported. In metals,
machinery and new ships there is a con
siderable decrease, which is balanced by
a great Increase In the value of textile
exports. Imports show a marked reduc
tion, of no less than 4,000,000. The gen
eral Impression produced by the figures
is that trade is distinctly on the down
grade.
CARGO IS COMPLETE.
Ncsaia Has Aboard 101,571 Bushels
of Wheat.
The German ship Ncsaia completed a
cargo of wheat yesterday and will clear
today. She has 101,571 bushels of wheat

Monday. The vessel has been given
prompt dispatch. She arrived at Astoria
October 18, and has thus spent about tnree
weeks in this port The Albania, G. H.
Wappaus and Crown of India, which iave
also.comploted their cargoes, arrived In
port the same day as the Nesala. The

BIG UPLIFT FOR REALTY
LEWIS AND CLARK CENTENNIAL TO
AID PROPERTY-OWitS.
The 'Market Now Is in Fine Condi
tionBetter if Great Exposi
' tton Is Held.
It Is the general opinion among Port
land real estate men that the market is
now in a healthier state than at any time
during the past fifteen years. This is
welcome news to the people of the city,
and, if thft present condition continues
until 1905. there will be no limit to the
city's growth and prosperity. Real es
tate dealers report a strong, healthy con
dition of the market, although there are
no indications of a boom of any kind.
They want none.
Just what effect the Lewis and Clark
Centennial will produce upon the real
estate market it Is dlfficelt to say, but
most dealers believe that the fair will
prove of lasting benefit to the city and
entire adjacent territory. It Is thought
that the 1805 fair will draw many people
who desire to remain permanently, and
that the enterprise will prove of inesti
mable value. The expositions in the East
ern states cannot be compared to " the
Lewis and Clark Centennial, for few visit
the former with any idea of locating per
manently. On the other hand, many peo
ple from the Eastern and Middle States
will come here with- the idea of f emain
lng. A number of prominent real estate
dealers were Interviewed yesterday, and.
the following replies were made:
George H. Hill, of the Title Guarantee
and Trust Company The condition of the
real estate market is better than at any
time in 20 years. Sales are steadily In
creasing, in accordance with the law of
supply and demand. There have been no
wildcat speculations and settlers have
been good, substantial people. Next year
will witness more building than Portland
has ever known. One thing roust not be
overlooked by our people. We must clean
up our city, get It In shape for the great
Centennial. Well-paved and well-cleaned
streets, well-kept parks and a general ap
pearance of cleanliness will be the biggest
and best advertisement for Portland.
Three years of proper advertising and dil
igent preparation will surely tell. If the
plans are properly carried tout, the Lewis
and Clark Centennial ought to be a great
success.
Charles K. Henry Tho 1905 Exposition
must not be an elaborate affair; still, it
must not be shabby. The- railroads ought
to give low rates to outsiders who come
here, and the local roads ought to give
reasonable rates to all parts of the state.
We need more farmers, more fruit and
produce raisers, and more dairymen here
In Oregon. There Is plenty of room for
them 'and when the farmers of the East
and Middle West come to cur Exposition,
we ought to show them our state and
Induce them to settle here. The centen
nial may not Increase city valuations
much, but It will prove' of untold benent
to the state as a whole."
J. V. W. Montague, of the firm of Mon
tague & King There Is little or no spec
ulation now, but the market Is in good
shape. There are many homes being built
and the builders are paying cash for the
lands. The centennial will be a grand
thing for Oregon, if it is conducted prop
erly. A representative of Hartman, Thompson
& Powers There Is an undercurrent of a
good, strong increase In real estate busi
ness, better than we have had for years.
The Exposition ought to attract many set
tlers from the East and Middle West.
A. R. Diamond, of Rountree & Diamond
We believe that Portland has today from
10,000 to 15,000 more people than It had two
years ago, and there Is plenty of work,
at good wages, for all now here. Prac
tically every dwelling house is occupied.
A Daily Nuisance
A Simple Remedy Which Will In
terest Catarrh Sufferers.
In Its earlier stages catarrh is more of
a nuisance than a menace to the general
health, but sooner or later the disease ex-
tends to the throat, bronchial tubes, and
even to the stomach and Intestines.
Catarrh is essentially a disease of the
mucous membrane, the local symptoms
being a profuse discharge of mucus,
stoppage of the nostrils, Irritation in
throat, causing coughing, sneezing, gag
ging and frequent clearings of the throat
and head.
The usual treatment by local douches,
snuffs, salves, etc., often gives tempo
rary relief, but anything like a cure can
only be obtained by a treatment which re
moves the catarrhal taint from the blood
and the disappearance of the inflammation
from the mucous surfaces.
A new remedy which meets these re
quirements and which so far has been
remarkably successful in curing' catarrh
Is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only. They can hard
ly be called a secret patent medicine, as
they are composed of such valuable rem-
1 edles as sangulnarla, hydrastln, eucalyp.
tol and similar cleansing antiseptics, which
cure by eliminating from the blood and
mucous surfaces the catarrhal poison.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges taken internal
ly, allowing them to dissolve slowly in
the mouth. In this way they reach the
throat, .fauces and the entire alimentary
canal.
If desired, they may also be dissolved
In water and used as a douche, in ad
dition to the internal use, but it Is not
at all necessary to use a douche; a few
of them dissolved In the mouth dally will
be sufficient. However, when there Is
much stoppage of the nose, a douche' made
from these tablets will give immediate re
lief, but the regular dally use internally of
these tablets will cure the whole ca
tarrhal trouble without resorting to the
Inconvenience of a douche.
Dr. Bement states "that the internal
treatment for catarrh Is rapidly taking the
place of the old plan of douching, and
local application, and further says that
probably the best and certainly the safest
remedy at present on the market Is Stu
art's Catarrh Tablets, as no secret Is
made of their composition, and all the
really efficient remedies for catarrh are
contained In this tablet."
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
at 50 cents for full-sized packages. Ask
your druggist and If he Is honest he will
tell you there is no safer, more palatable,
more efficient and convenient remedy on
tho market.

make a special effort to show our" visitors
in 1905 our salmon fisheries and canneries,
and splendid rivers, mines, mountains,, the
beautiful Willamette Valley, and in short
the fairest land the sun shine3 on, and
the most prosperous country in the
United States. This Pacific Northwest
must In the hext few years support a pop
ulation of thousands where It now has
hundreds, and as the country grows so
must our city Increase In commerce, man
ufactures and population.
D. W. Wakefield, of Wakefield, Fries &
Co. The real estate market Is strong and
conditions point to a most healthy growth
during the next few years. The Lewis and
Clark Centennial ought to draw a great
many people to this part of the country.
It will certainly enhance the value of
property In and around Portland.
George E. Watkins, of Parish & Wat
kins The real estate market Is in fairly
good shape. It is firm and there are no
wildcat speculations). The Exposition will
surely draw many settlers to this coun
try. W. H. Grindstaff, of Grindstaff & Blaln
The people ought to stand together on
this Lewis and Clark Centennial. If they
work for the public good and not for per
sonal gain, the fair will be a great suc
cess. The enterprise is bound to Increase
our property values. The real estate mar
ket is In good shape and is growing
stronger. It Is better right now .than at
any time since 18S9.
William McMaster, of McMaster &. Bir
rell The Lewis and Clark Exposition will
certainly be a great thing for our coun
try here. Real estate is now on a good,
solid footing and the market is in good
shape. There 13 plenty of sales and a
good many home-builders are coming In.
A. L. Maxwell, of Maxwell & Knapp
The 1S05 Exposition will bring a great
many settlers to Oregon and the neigh
boring states. It Is a very worthy en
terprise and the people should carry it
through by all means. Our real estate
business Is -very good.
AT THE WOMAN'S CLUB.
Leo Fried Gives an Entertaining;
Talk on Russia.
The regular meeting of the Woman's
Club drew forth a large attendance yes
terday afternoon. The business meeting
that preceded the programme devoted to
Russia brought forth considerable discus
sion. Tho club commended the action of
the board in indorsing the Lewis and Clark
Exposition. Mrs. Levi Young gaye an
earnest talk on the Consumers' League,
and the motion was unanimously carried
to recommend the work to the home de
partment. Mrs. Young read a number of
letters from prominent citizens Messrs.
Olds, Wortman & King, Dr. Edgar P. Hill
and others commending the movement
and offering their assistance in promoting
the work.
Mrs. Henry Heppner was elected direc
tor In the place left vacant by Mrs. P.
J. Mann during her absence from the city,
and Mrs. John McRobert in place of Mrs.
Peter Ward. Three visiting clubwomen
gave brief 4alks a member of the Wom
an's Club in Butte, Mont.; another from
the Columbian Club, Boise, Idaho, and
still another from the Current Events
Club, Blackfoot. Idaho.
Mrs. Hannah Fried Baruh was in charge
of the programme oil Russia, which proved
to be most Interesting, Leo Fried holding
his hearers spellbound. Russia, he said,
occupied an eighth of the globe. The peo
ple spoke 72 distinct languages or dialects.
The people were far from being homogene
ous. The railroads In Russia were not
for the convenience of the people, but
for military purposes only. They never
ran Into a town. In St. Petersburg, for
example, the nearest railroad was two
miles off, the space between the station
and the city being owned by the govern
ment and used for military operations
only.
Tho entire Russian people, he said, are
under two powers the government and
the church. Moscow is the Mecca of all
the Russians. In graphic language, the
cathedrals, with their columns of porphyry
and lapis lazuli, were described, and the
Greek service was spoken of as very im
pressive. The Russian peasants consider
themselves Indebted to the Czar for the
very bread and salt they eat. At every
coronation of a Czar each province pre
sents the new ruler with a bread plate
and a salt box. There were over 900 of
these at the last coronation, and each one
was valued at a sum ranging from J2500
to 510,000. They were set with diamonds
and ornamented with the richest work
manship that the province could produce.
The magnificent voices of the monks
who chanted in the churches were also
commented upon, these monks being
trained from boyhood and subjected to a
strict regimen for the express purpose of
developing the full beauty of their voices.
Only one person in eight can read. Mr.
Fried, in conclusion, expressed his convic
tion that a brighter future was in store
for the Russians as a nation.
ARBITRATION TREATY.
Mexican Project Presented to the
Pan-American Congress. '
MEXICO CITY, Nov. 8. The Pan
American Congress, at its session this
morning, decided, at the suggestion of
President RIagosa, to adjourn for a fort
night, In order, as he said, to allow the
committees tlmo to consider the projects
submitted to them. A cablegram of felic
itation was ordered sent to Santos-Dumont
and a cablegram of thanks fot gooa
wishes sent to the Spanish Parliament.
Tho project of the treaty for an inter
national court of claims was discussed by
the Mexicandelegatlon. In an Introductory
speech Francisco L. de la Barra, delegate
of Mexico and author of the project, said
that It was largely based on the Olney
Pauncefote treaty o January 12, 1S97, with
modifications suggested by the objections
which were made to the same treaty in
the United States Senato and which
caused that body to reject it. The pio
posed convention provides that the parties
thereto will bind themselves to submit to
an International court all claims proceed
ing from pecuniary losses and damages
occasioned to any state or Its cltlzenson
account of the acts or commissions of an
other state, or any of its citizens, pro
vided that such claims cannot be arranged
diplomatically. The obligation so to sub
mit claims commences as soon, as it .l?
demanded by any of the contracting gov
ernments. Tho court of claims will be constituted
as follows: Each contending government
shall appoint one arbitrator who must be
a jurist of repute, not a native of the
state appointing him, and the two arbi
trators together shall elect a. third one,
who will preside. If the two arbitrators
cannot agree to the appointment of a
third, they will ask the Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court of any of the Ameri
can Republics to designate a third arbi
trator, who must not be a native of any
of the states Interested in the contro
versy. Sentence must be rendered with
in three months from the date on which
the case is closed. If the sentence is
unanimous, It will be final, save that with
in two months its revision by the same
court may -be demanded in case its pub
lication gives rise, to doubts of" various in
terpretations, 'or in case it fails to decide
any of the points at issue the court will
decide the case anew and definitely within
one month of the date of the application
for a revision.
If the original sentence Is rendered by
a majority of the arbitrators, only the los-
Strong Testimony from
Prominent Doctors
After Years of Scientific Research and Thorough Tests, Promi

Dr. J. D. Cole, Alexandria Bay, N. Y.,
wrote us, on December 5, 1900: "I .have
been using Duffy's Malt "Whiskey In my
family and practice for the past 15 years, ;
with very beneficial results. I often pre
scribe it for anaemic patients and some
forms of indigestion; also for convales
cents after typhoid fever, and all wasting
diseases. It is a good tonic for the
aged."
Dr. H. Cenicola, Bridgeport, Conn., on
December 14, 1900, sent us the following:
"I have prescribed Duffy's Pure Malt
whiskey In my practice and think It a
pure and beneficial tonic and stimulant. I
cheerfully recommend It."

T., wrote us, on January 2, 1901: "I have
used your Malt "Whiskey for about seven
years in my practice and find it very
beneficial In cases of debility and for old
people. I have used it successfully In
cases of typhoid fever after the fever had
left and the patient was much debilitated.
I cannot recommend It too highly where
a "tonic is necessary."
Dr. George S. Converse. New Haven,
Conn., on January 1G, 1901, wrote: "I
have used Duffy's Malt In my practice and
always found It pure and satisfactory."
Dr. Albert C. Smith, president, Suffolk
Dispensary, 10 Charter street, Boston,
Mass., wrote us: "In the treatment of the
large number of patients who come for
aid and relief we fiqd it necessary in our
work to use a stimulant which, without
question. Is absolutely pure, and we are
glad to say that In your 'Duffy's Malt'
we have succeeded In obtaining what has
been of great assistance in many cases
of pronounced danger. "We should be un
willing to be without this valuable stim
ulant." This dispensary registered In one
year almost 37,000 patients. It is one of
the largest Institutions" of Its kind in the
world.

cases requiring stimulants and tonics, and
I take pleasure in stating that I find It
excels all other whiskeys."
Dr. De Witt Brugler, of the Blue Cross
Medical Aid, 1502 Marshall street, Phila
delphia, Pa., on January 18, 1901, wrote
us the following: "D'uffy's Malt is tho
only whiskey used and dispensed at the
Blue Cross MedicaAId Dispensary. We
place no reliance upon any other for medi
cal use."
During the past few years we have re
ceived hundreds of thousands of Just such
letters as these. There can be no more

two will be selected by the heads of the
contending states, four of those thus
