ELECTIONS IN SOUTH
Depew Arouses the Wrath
of Several Senators.
CRITICISES SOUTHERN WAYS
: V
Vote on Exclusion Bill Will Be
Taken Kext Wednesday After
noonTeller Supports the
Measure:
WASHINGTON. April 1L Some re
marks which Depew made yesterday con
cerning the proposed amendment to the
Constitution, providing for the election
of Senators by popular vote. In the course
of which he adverted to Southern election
methods precipitated a lively three hours
debate in the Senate today.
Money, to whose state reference had
been made by the New York Senator,
replied tartly to some of the statements
of Depew, and defended the suffrage
clauses In the Mississippi constitution.
Depew made a warm reply, and attacked
the election methods, not only in Missis
sippi, but In several other Southern States.
His remarks drew a sharp fire from sev
eral Senators. Money, and his colleague,
McL&urln, explained Mississippi election
methods, and Simmons pointed out that
Depew hadben entirely mistaken about
the operation of the constitution of North
Carolina, and that his statements were
erroneous. Blackburn warmly arraigned
the New York Senator for his comments
on Kentucky elections, defended what Is
known as the Goebel election law, and
asserted that the New York Senator was
not Informed as to the facts of Kentucky
politics.
When the Chinese exclusion bill was
taken up an agreement was reached that
a vote should be taken on it next Wednes
day at 1 o'clock. Teller supported the
measure In a brief speech, maintaining
that It was necessary, and that it was
not In contravention of our treaty obli
gations with China.
The Proceedings.
Soon after the Senate convened the river
and harbor appropriation bill was reported
by Frye and placed on the calendar. Bills
were passed providing for the use by the
United States of devices invented by na
val officers while engaged In Its service
and covered by letters patent, and to pay
$5000 to the widow of Judge I. C. Parker
for extraordinary services rendered by
him as Judge in the -nestern district of
Arkansas. The latter bill had been re
ported adversely by Hoar, but he stated
that as the case was absolutely unique he
would vote for It.
Money then took occasion to reply
to some extent to the remarks of
Depew made yesterday concerning the
Tesolution providing for the election of
Senators by popular vote. Referring to
a statement of Depew, he said that If the
vote of a people of a state was to be de
nominated "a small oligarchy," what could
be said of the influence of great corpora
tions who had their representatives In this
body. He denied that any citizen of
Misnlsslppi was refused by the constitution
of the state the right to vote.
"When a state, like Massachusetts or
Mississippi," said he. "says that a man
must be able to read and understand a
paragraph of the Constitution, Is it not a
disability within the purview of the 14th
amendment?"
Rsplylng to one of Depew's -arguments.
Money said he could not understand how
the sovereignty of a state would be In
vaded by the adoption of an amendment
to the Constitution providing for the elec
tion of Senators by the people, but he
could see that the efforts of corporations
and trusts to crowd the Senate chamber
with their agents would be invaded.
Depew took occasion Immediately to
reply to Money's remarks. He said he
had proposed his amendment because he
desired to set the Important question be
fore the Senate and betore the country.
He Insisted that If Senators were to be
elected hy popular vote the whole ques
tion of their election tu6uld be called up
whenever their credentials were presented.
Depew said he had no disposition to Inter
fere with the local affairs of any Southern
state, and he would not favor a so-called
"force bill," but when the men of New
York had cast their votes in accordance
with manhood suffrage, they had a right
to demand to know what similar votes had
been cast In Mississippi. He declared that
the registration boards In Mississippi
were selected practically from one party
and for one particular purpose to prevent
the negro from voting.
He declared if there was manhood suf
frage In Virginia. Kentucky and
North-rare
Carolina there would be Republican Sen
ators in this chamber from those states.
He said there had been no fear of negro
domination in North Carolina, yet for the
purpose of keeping Senator Prltchard, Re
publican, out of the Senate, and to secure
a Democratic Senator In thte place of But
ler, Populist, and for no other purpose, the
grandfather clause was inserted In the
new constitution of that stale. He sharp
ly criticised the Goebel election law in
Kentucky, by which, he said, Mr. Tay
lor was deprived of the Governorship.
Personally, he did not believe, and other
Republican Senators did not believe, that
55,K)0 votes In Mississippi should count for
as much as 1,500.000 votes In New York.
. Referring, in conclusion, to the Intima
tion that the people of New York were
dominated "By corporations and trusts, Mr.
Depew declared that under the law the
people of New York could deal with trusts
according to their own desire. The Leg
islature was composed of representatives
of the people, and they did the people's
will as to trusts.
At the conclusion of Depew's remarks
Money corrected what he termed "some of
the misstatements" of the New York Sen
ator regarding the election laws.
McLaurln (Miss.) read paragraphs from
the constitution of Mississippi and pointed
out that it contained "no grandfather
clause."
Simmons, not having heard Depew's re
marks about his state, said he desired sim
ply to say that. If reported accurately, De
pew was mistaken as to his facts, and
his statements were inaccurate .and un
warranted. Blackburn characterized the remark of
Depew in precipitating a discussion of the
pending question "an unprecedented per
formance." "Perhaps," said he, "It was
because the junior Senator from New
York wanted to be the first to wave the
bloody shirt in this discussion, and to
threaten certain commonwealths with a
loss of representation in Congress."
He read from the stenographic report
JEit Depew's remarks about Kentucky elec
tions, and declared he would offer a pre
mium to anybody who would find a soli
tary statement with reference to Kentucky
in the Senator's speech which was true.
Blackburn entered on an elaborate dis
cussion of the elections and election laws
of Kentucky, and maintained that the
Goebel election law had been sustained
by tbe Supreme Court of Kentucky. He
said ho would not undertake to learn his
law "at the hands of a worthy, distin
guished and conspicuous corporation and
railroad attorney' Nobody, he a!d, had
maintained that the Goebel election law
was unjust or unfair.
"1 have been Informed," interrupted De
pew, "that one-third of the vote of the
State of Kentucky was thrown out in a
recent election. Is that true?"
"Jt Is no more true," replied Blackburn,
"than many of the other statements the
Senator has made about Kentucky -affairs."
"He ald that no returning board in Ken
tucky ever had held that Taylor had been
elected Governor over Goebel, and that
the statements of, Depew were based on
on entire misapprehension of the facts.
.In conclusion Blackburn sarcastically said
he would suggest s. manner in which the
New York Senator might be appeased. If
the amendment was adopted. New York
might be excepted, and then the railroads
of that state, especially the New York
Central Railroad, might not be deprived
of representation In the Senate.
In a brief reply to the criticism made of
him, Depew said he thought there ought
to be a Federal election law, uniform In Its
application to all states, in order that the
people could have assurance that all Sen
ators were elected by a fair and impartial
vote. Depew eald he was proud of his
connection with the railroad interests of
the country. He was quite ready to sub
mit his claims to a seat in the Senate to
the electorate of New York State, but
when his present term should expire he
wouid have reached a period In his life
when it was exceedingly-doubtful whether
he would care to return to the Senate.
The Exclusion Bill.
Consideration then was resumed of the
Chinese exclusion bill. Penrose obtained
an agreement to begin voting on amend
ments to the bill next Wednesday at 1
o'clock, the debate after that hour to be
limited to the flvc-minute rule.
Galllnger presented a telegram from
Robert H. Swayne, of San Francisco, de
nying that he ever had suggested that a
great many Chinese laborers could be
brought Into the country as students,
merchants and travelers. He also present
ed a remonstrance from Thomas Burke,
of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce,
against the provision in the bill prohibit
ing the employment of Chinese on Ameri
can vessels, and one from Alfred Wlnear,
president of the Boston Steamship Com
pany, saying that if the Clark amendment
should prevail, much damage would be
done to American shipping.
Senator Hawley presented a protest
from the American Federation ofLabor,
the International Seamen's Union and the
California Chinese Exclusion Commission
against the substitute for the pending
bill suggested by Senator Piatt, of Con
necticut. Teller, speaking in support of the pend
ing measure, declared that It did not vio
late the provisions of the present treaty
with China, and said that after an experi
ence of 40 years in the West he was sat
isfied that Chinese exclusion was an ab
solute necessity to the civilization of that
section of the country. He believed that
every Senator who would read the pend
ing bill with care, providing that he was
anxious to secure the exclusion of Chi
nese laborer?, would vote for It. Person
ally, he would vote for it, even If he knew
that It would destroy our trade with
China, but he was certain that no such
result would follow the enactment of the
measure.
The Senate then at 4:40 P. M. went Into
executive session, and at 4:45 P. M. adjourned.

LAWSON'S METHODS.
Boston Financier's Testimony in the
Bennett Libel Suit.
BOSTON, April 11. Although he had
been 6n the witness stand for the better
part of two days in the JGO.00D libel suit
of Bennett vs. Donahue, Thomas W. Law
son was still In the hinds of. counsel for
Mr. Bennett today. For a time. Lawyer
Storey's cross-examination was upon mat
ters relating to Mr. Bennett's paper.
When he branched off Into transactions
in Sugar stock. Lawyer Bartlett objected,
but Mr. Storey explained that Mr. Ben
nett, In his paper, had charged Mr. Law
son with being a "financial adventurer,"
and that counsel was trying to find out
what he had to say about his own meth
ods. Mr. Storey asked Mr. Lawson if he
hid not attacked certain companies for
personal gain, thus going against what
he had advertised concerning Montana
Gas.
"It was not for personal gain that I at
tacked the Lawson Store Service Com
pany, or the General Electric," was the
answer. "It was because the one had
attacked me and the other had attacked
the Westlnghouse Company, In which I
was interested."
"You advised the public to buy, Arcadia,
didn't youf ' Mr. Storey asked.
"I thought Arcadia would go over 500.
I bought E3.000 shares and lost $2000 on It,"
Mr Lawson replied.
"Then the people who took your advice
lost on it?"
"They were In the same position as I
was, only to a less degree."
Asked if during the time he was pre
dicting the rise c certain stocks, the In
vestor, Mr. BeAnett's paper, wis not
.merely striving to tell the public not to
have too much care In his prediction.
Mr. Lawson replied: "The Investor at
tacked everything I had anything to do
with. They attacked 'Butte,' too, and it
went from a very low figure to over 100."
Regarding Amalgamated, Mr. Lawson
sild he had believed in It and still did so.

COLUMBIA, S. C., April lL-General
Wade Hampton died this morning at 10
o'clock, from valvular disease of the
heart, after having been unconscious for
several hours. The General had just
passed his S4th birthday. Twice this Win

greatly weakened him, but he rallied won

ago, but It was evident his strength was
de'sertlng him.
No arrangements have yet been made
for the funeral, except that It wni be, at
the General's expressed wish, without
pomp of any sort, and will take place Sat

Hampton objected to a state funeral.

law, but without the intention of prac
ticing. Under his father's training ho
became a good horseman, a famous hunt
er, and ai? accomplished fisherman. He
served In the Legislature of South Caro
lina In early life, but his political views
were those of a Democrat of a National
rather thaa a secession, tendency, and
were not popular In his state. His speech
against the reopening of the slave trade
was called by the Now York Tribune the
masterpiece of logic, directed by the no
blest sentiments of the Christian and
patriot. His earlier life was, however,
devoted to his plantation interests In
South Carolina and Mississippi, and to
the pursuits of a man of fortune.
When the Civil War began, Hampton
enlisted as a private, but Boon raised a
comrqand of infantry, cavalry and artil
lery, which was known as the "Hampton
Legion," and won distinction in the .war.
At BjII Run GOO of his Infantry held
for some time the Warrenton road against
Keyes Corps, and were sustaining Bee
when Jackson came to their aid. In the
Peninsular campaign they were again dls-
their number, and Hamnton himself re-1
ceived a painful wound in the foot. Soon
afterwards he was made Brigadier-General
of Cavalry, and assigned to General
J. E. B. Stuart's command. He was fre-
quently selected tor detailed service, In
which he was uncommonly successful.
In the Maryland and Pennsylvania cam
paigns of 1862-63, Hampton was actively
engaged, and he distinguished himself at
Gettysburg, receiving three wounds. It is
said that 21 out of 23 field officers, and
more than half the men in Hampton's
command were Wiled or wounded in this
battle. Hampton was made a Major
General with rank from August 3, 1863. Tn

captured over SOOO prisoners and much
material of war, with a loss of 719 men.
He was made commander of Leels Cav
alry in Aiigust, with the rank of Lleuten-ant-General,
and In September struck the
rear of the National Army at City Point,
bringing away 400 prisoners, and 24S6
heeves. Soon afterward. In another ac
tion, he captured BOO prisoners. In one
of these attacks he lost his son in hat
tie, Hampton was detached to take com
mand of General Joseph Johnston's cav
alry, and did what he could to arrest
the advance of Sherman's army north
ward from Savannah in the Spring of
1S66. After the unfortunate burning of
Columbia, S. C, bn its evacuation by the
Confederates, a sharp discussion arose
between Hampton and General Sherman,
each charging the other with the willful
'destruction of the city.
After the war he at once engaged In
cotton planting, but was not successful.
He accepted from the first all legitimate
consequences of defeat, an entire sub
mission to the law, and the civil and po
litical equality of the negro, but he stead
ily defended the motives and conduct of
his people and their leaders. In I860,
speaking of the negro, he said: "As a
slave, hex was faithful to us; as u free
man, let us treat him as a friend. Deal
with him frankly, justly, kindly." Dur-

Mr. Chamberlain finally yielded his
claims. In 1878 ho met with an accident
by which he lost a leg; but, while his
life was despaired of, was elected to tho
United States Senate. In the Senate his
course was that of a conservative Demo
crat. He advocated sound currency, re
sisted inflation, and generally acted in

HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA PROMISES TO CURE AND
CHAIR WILL BE SUSTAINED
MAJORITY IS THE HOUSES FOB, THE
CUBAN RELIEF BILL.
Result of a Canvass Made By "Wat
son, the Republican Whip Long:
Speaks lor the BUI.
WASHINGTON, April 11. Debate on the
Cuban reciprocity bill continued In the
House today, the principal speeches be
ing made by Long (Rep. Kan.), a mem
ber of the ways and means committee,
who from the first ardently supported
the proposition for reciprocity, and who
originally favored a reduction of 40 per
cent; and Shafroth (Sil. Col.), who vig
orously opposed the bill on the ground
that the sugar trust, which he said was
waging a war of extermination against
the beet-sugar Industry, would be its chief
beneficiary.
The leaders of the House, who have
been much worried as to the outcome of
the controversy, were considerably e
Heved today when Watson (Rep. Ind.),
who Is acting as the Republican whip on
this occasion, informed them that after
a careful canvass he Is positive that when
tho attempt is made to overrule the chair
in order to make way for an amendment
to abolish the differentials on refined
sugar, the chair will be sustained. On
both sides it Is conceded that the uncer
tainty regarding the fate of the bill hinges
on the question of overruling- the chair
Despite Watson's canvass there are those
among the opponents of the .bill who still
contend that they will win the victory.
The Proceedings.
At the opening of the session the Speak
er announced the appointment of a com
mittee to attend the funeral at Arlington
cemetery. Washington, of General W. 9.
Rosecrans. The Postoffico appropriation
bill was sent to conference. The House
then went Into committee of the whole
and resumed consideration of tho Cuban
reciprocity bill.
Long (Rep. Kan.), a member of tho
"ways and means committee, who, from
the outset of the present controversy, has
been one" of the most ardent advocates of
reciprocity, was the first speaker. He
argued that the pending bill does not In
volve a revision of the tariff, but contend
ed that the fate of the Republican doc
trine of reciprocity, to which the party
was committed by the platforms of 1E93
and 1900, and the McKlnley and DIngley
tariff acts, depended upon the passage of
this bill. He analyzed the evidence be
fore tho committee on ways and means
as to the cost of producing refined sugar
from both Cuban cane and the sugar beet,
and argued that even at the reduced tar
iff proposed by this bill, refined beet sugar
from Michigan could be placed on the
Chicago market for 2S cents a hundred
less than refined Cuban sugar, and that
Nebraska and Colorado beet sugar can
be placed on the Kansas City market for
18 cents a hundred less than the Cuban
sugar, and that Cuban sugar cannot com
pete at all with its beet rival on the Den
ver market. He quoted from the state
ment made by the Oxnard Beat-Sugar
Company at their annual meeting, April
1, 1902, that they can manufacture refined
sugar "below the cost of granulated sugar
made from Imported raw." He read the
evidence of all the beet-sugar experts to
the effect that the proposed reduction In
the Cuban tariff would not lower the
price of refined sugar and argued that,
therefore, the beet-sugar Industry would
not be injured by the proposed legisla
tion. He devoted much time to tho prop
osition that the Cuban planters and not
the sugar trust would get the benefit of
the concession in tariff.
Turning to the benefits which would
accrue to us from reciprocity with Cuba,
he reviewed the case of the Blaine reci
procity which existed from 1S91 to 1894,
showing that while our exports to all
other countries fell off materially durlns
this period, owing to the depreciation In
silver and other causes, our trade with
Cuba more than doubled and our exports
to countries with which wo had reci
procity agreements were the only ones
that showed an increase. Reciprocity, he
declared, would give the United States a
monopoly of the Cuban markets. A moral
obligation, he said, rested on the United
States to aid Cuba, from the fact that
the Piatt amendment was accepted only
on the virtual promise of tariff conces
sions. In closing. Long said:
"That it is our duty to complete tho
work undertaken In Cuba is recognized
by every patriotic American. We can dis
charge that obligation and still do no
harm to any American Industry. Special
interests have endeavored to prevent ac
tion and tried to alarm Congress by the
cry that their particular Industries will
ba ruined If reciprocity with Cuba Is
adopted. Tho facts do not warrant this
assumption, and If this Congress does its
duty, as did the Congress that passed
the resolution of Intervention, it will
provide, before this session ends, for reci
procity with Cuba which will bring hap
piness and contentment to the people of
that Island, further promote the prosper
ity of the people of 'the United tSates and
honorably finish the work undertaken
when the war with 'Spain began.'
Long met a volley of questions from
the opponents of reciprocity on the Re
publican side. At various times during
his speech he sustained the fire of Prince

ALLTHE TIME
Keeps the Old Young
Thousands of men and women who have lived beyond the allot
ted "three score and ten" from twenty to forty years say
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey Is the Fountain of
Youth and a Godsend to old people.
120 YEARS OLD
Abram E. Elmer, of Utlca, N. Y., said:
"I used Duffy's Pure Malt "Whiskey as
my only medicine for thirty years, and I
know it prolonged my life and kept my
system free from disease. It is the greatest
medicine in the world."
HEALTHY AND STRONG AT 80
Mr. Thomas S. Hullt. 80 years old, of
Long Branch, N. J wrote us on January
4, 1902:
"Notwithstanding I am SO years old, I
do not look 60. I attribute my vigor and
youth to the constant use of Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey, my only medicine. I take
it three times a day, and will continue to
do so as Ions as I live. I know It Is the
greatest Stimulant and tonic for old men
when they need something to aid nature."
DOING HER OWN WORK AT 70
Mrs. Mary A. Hulit's experience was
similar to that of her husband:
"I was suffering from dyspepsia and
heart disease, and would be unconscious
sometimes for a whole day. While in
one of these attacks my husband gave
me Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, and I
came out of It almost at once; and the
strange part of It Is I have never had an
attack of it since. Whenever I feel any
symptoms I take a tablespoonful of Duf-
Sr's Pure Malt Whiskey, and it drives
e wind from around my heart, and as
soon as this Is done the pain Is all gone
and I feel perfectly strong. My dyspepsia
Is entirely cured. I can eat anything,
and after eating too heartily I take a
drink of Duffy's Pure Malt whiskey, and
the distressed, heavy feeling disappears.
I am in my seventieth year,, and do all
my own work, with six In my family. I
heartily recommend Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey to every woman who suffers, es
pecially to old people. It is my only medi
cine, and, thanks to it, I am Btrong and
can enjoy good health."
DUFFY'S PURE MALT WHISKEY
IS ABSOLUTELY PURE.
It contains no fusel oil, the most dangerous ingredient "in whiskey. It contains
medicinal properties that will cure consumption, grip, asthma, bronchitis and dys
pepsia. It la prescribed by over seven thousand doctors and used exclusively in two
thousand hospitals. The leading doctors will tell you that more deaths are caused
by drugs than by disease. Then why fill your system with drugs? If you are
weak and run down, if you are troubled
with sleeplessness, or If you catch cold
easily, take Duffy's Pure (Malt Whiskey,
a tablespoonful in half a glass of water
or rnllk three times a day. It Is guaran
teed to cure you and keep you in perfect
health. It Is the only whiskey recognized
by the Government as a medicine. This
la a guarantee. Beware of Imitations and
substitutes. The dealer who says that
fomethlng else Is just as good as Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey thinks of his profit
only, and not of your health. Insist upon
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey and see that

is on the label and the name ,cDuffy
Malt W niskey Company" is blown in the
bottle. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey Is sold
by all druggists and grocers, or direct at
SL00 a bottle. Write for free medical
booklet, containing symptoms and treat
ment of each disease, with convincing tes
timonials, to tho Duffy Malt Whiskey
Company, Rochester, N. Y.
(Rep. Cal.), Kahn (Rep. Cal). and W. A.
Smith (Rep. Mich.). He "ridiculed the Re.
publlcm adversaries of reciprocity, who,
he said, refused to yield any concession
to Cuba, because they alleged it threat
ened the protective system, but who de
liberately proposed to adopt, a revolu
tionary courso to take the differential
off of refined sugar, which, he said, had
been placed In tbe Dingley bill for the
express purpose ot protecting the beet
sugar industry.
Toward the conclusion of his argument.
Long pointed out that the adversaries of
the bill had shifted their ground since the
publication .of General Wood's statement
that the sugar trust controlled only 3600
tons of the output. He said that preylous
to that, those who opposed the bill
charged that the trust had bought up all
the Cuban sugar. Yet now thoy used
that statement to prove that the trust
was not making large purchases of sugar,
but was holding off. awaiting the action
of Congress. When Long concluded ho
was given an enthusiastic round of ap
plause by tho friends of the bill.
Shafroth (Sil. Colo.) opposed the bill.
He charged that sentiment In favor of
concessions to Cuban sugar had been
manufactured hy the sugar trust and was
part of the war which the trust was
waging against the beet-sugar Industry
In Colorado and other Western States. He
read extracts from the report of the testi
mony of the president of the sugar trust
before the Lexow committee and the In
dustrial Commission to show the methods
of the company in crushing out its com
petitors. Parker (Rep. N. J.) supported the bill.
He Insisted that tariff revision was in na
way Involved. The real- question at Issue,
he said, was whether we should allow
Cuba to become a second Santo Domingo.
At 6 P. M. the Houso adjourned.
"I suffered from Impure blood and had a tired
feeling. I began taking Hood's Sarsaparllla,
and while taking the second "bottle I began to
feel a great deal better. I believe It has done
for me what no ether medlolne could have done."
Agnes Gllligan, 7C5 Lydia street, Oakland, Cal.
"Hood's Sarsaparllla cannot be excelled as a
Spring tonic, and I think there is nothing equal
to It as a strength-builder. It Is excellent for
that nervous, tired and run-down feeling."
Helen Johnson, Clark, B. D.
T was subject to that tired feeling, and suf
fered headaches and a prickly heat. After tak
ing Hood's Sarsaparllla I was completely re
liev.ed of all these troubles and since that time
I have been In the best of health. I cannot
praise Hood's Sarsaparllla too highly, and I
heartily Indorse It." H. W. Black, 1630 North
Twenty-first street, Omaha, Neb.
KEEPS THE PROMISE.
WEAK FROM BLOOD POISONING
Mrs. Daniel Moore, No. 31 De Peyster
street, Brooklyn, N. Y., who Is 65 years
of age, said, on January 6, 1902:
"A few months ago I was very weak
from the effects of blood poisoning, which
threatened my life. I tried everything,
and my condition did not improve. At
last I bought a bottle of Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey, and from the first day I
experienced relief. In a short time I was
entirely cured. I gained several pounds
of flesh, and am today enjoying my usual
robust health, and do not feel any older
than when I was 40 years of age. Yours
gratefully, '
"MRS. DANIEL MOORE."
VIGOROUS AT 82
"I was an Invalid and scarcely knew
what it was to feel well for twenty-four
hours at a time. I had grown thin and
could not sleep. My doctor prescribed
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, and since x
have taken your whiskey I have regained
my strength and am thirty pounds heav
ier. It not only acts as a stimulant and
tonic to me, but it aids my digestion and
makes my blood circulate faster, and I
think It keeps me from catching cold.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey Is now my
only medicine, and truly a Godsend to old
people, consumptives and those who are
sickly. One druggist tried to sell me some
thing that he said was. Just as good as
Duffy's, but I said I wanted Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey and no other. It seems too
bad that unreliable druggists should try,
to sell bogus goods when they .know the
customers' lives depend on an absolutely
pure medicine. Very thankfully yours,
"GILBERT N. HAY.
