H p-'; Iw^' DRUGS KILL MORE THAN DISEASE The leading doctors say: “There ar > more deaths caused by drugs than disease: if every one would keep his system fortified with an invigorating stimu lant and leave drugs alone the death rate would be lowered.” Statistics show that these doctors are right and this is why all leading doctors prescribe Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey exclusively for Consumption, Drip, Bronchitis. Asthma, Catarrh, Coughs, dyspepsia, malaria and all low fevers, nervous prostration, female troubles, sleeplessness and weakness from vaalcver cause; all these diseases are caused by rundown conditions of the system. DUFFY’S PURE MALT WHISKEY builds now tissue; it enriches and stimulates the blood, aids digestion, tones up the heart, invigorates the brain and strengthens the system so it throws off disease. It kills the germs. .. ‘Mr. and Mrs. Adam Livingood of Blverson, Pa., who have been married <>.> years, say Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey has prolonged their happy union many years beyond their silver wedding.

Mrs. Matilda Watts, who is 63 years of ago, says Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey cun •i her of grip and lias kept her strong and well. •■I suffered terribly with the grip and and tried every known remedy. Changes of weather always found me in bed. and I often felt as if life was not worth the living picking up a newspaper one day, I read of the great benefit derived fren the use of Duffy’s Malt Whiskey and sent for a bottle. The beneficial effects were almost instantaneous. The terrible lassitude with which I had suffered so long disappeared. I was completely cured and have felt no bad aftereffects, and to-day, at the age of 63, I feel as though I was only 30. Mrs. Matilda Watts, 2;>4 W. 40th St.. N. Y. C.

Incidents In Career of Whitaker Wr ght, British Promoter. USED THE NOBILITY AS HIS TOOLS Titlcil Men Aided Him In Ksuctlnic MilllonH From the CrednloiiN—Feu- tnrew of Ilisi Fairylike .Okf 111e In Kurland—How an Indinn Sijuaw Once Saved HI* Life. Whitaker Wright, known in London as “Monte-Cristo” and inanap 'g di rector of the London and Globe Fi nance corporation, limited, who lias just been imprisoned in Brooklyn, has had a career as a financial plunger and pro moter that covered three continents, says the New York American. His name has been mentioned with that of Cecil Rhodes, he has associated with the nobility, dined with royalty and lived like a multimillionaire. For several years he has been the most prominent financial figure in Lon don. He organized a score of corpora tions capitalized at $111,775,000, boom ed them until their shares were away above par and in many instances paid huge dividends. All the concerns were closely allied, and when the parent’ concern failed the others tumbled too. The loss to investors and stockhold ers amounted to more than $100,000,- 000. though a few of those who went in early and sold out before the final smash made fortunes. The success of nil of the schemes depended on the personality of Wright. He had a man ner so impressive as to be hypnotic, and on the witness stand a number of titled Londoners testified that their faith In his executive ability was such that they never made the slightest in quiry into what he was doing. Lord Dufferin, Lieutenant General the Hon. Somerset J. Gough-Calthorpe, Lord I Vlham-Clinton, groom in waiting to the king, and a number of others holding high social and official positions aided Wright in organizing his syndi cates and stock companies and made large investments in them. Lord Duf- ferin, when the crash came, retired to his country house and died of the dis grace brought upon him. The others have been generally execrated for their blindness and willful negligence through which thousands lost their in vestments, and the general crash fol lowing the fall of the London Globe Finance corporation dragged down a score of other lirms and companies. Intimately associated in his schemes with Wright was the Countess of War wick. i ndor Wright’s advice she in vested heavily in tho shares of the Lakoview company and Australian Mining company. The shares, under the skillful manipulation of Wright, rose to an unprecedented value, and at the proper time the Countess of War wick was advised to sell out her hold ings. She netted a profit of $800,000 on the venture. Immediately following her sale of stock the shares began to tumble and fell until they reached the bottom. From that time she constant ly aided Wright, and it is said that it was sin* who induced Lord Dufferin to invest in the Globe Finance corpora tion. At the receptions held at her home she introduced the promoter to the many members of the nobility who became investors and directors in his many companies. Even the London Stock Exchange wits had a lling at the promoter. “When was Whitaker Wright’/” they asked, to which the prpper answer was, “When he took a Duffer-in.” The story is also told of his prospect ing days in America as illustrative of dangers he hud escaped, of how an In dian squaw once saved his life after he had given her a trivial present. He was out prospecting one day and looked into her tent. She immediately told him tlie braves of her tribe were after his seuip and hid him beneath some skins. I’res.'iitly up came the redskins and asked if she had seen him. She stood at the door of her tent and said he had pissed in a certain direction. Every ot! er white man in the neigh borhood v. .is, murdered. At Lea I a: a. Wright had one of the handsomest estates in England. Six years ago he begun work upon it and estimated that the labor of transform ing the park lino the paradise he de sired to create would take at least twelve years. At times as > many as 5UU workmen have been engaged upon the work, cutting down hills and re building thorn elsewhere, destroying groves in sections where they were not desired and setting out others in dif ferent locutions. A lake that had been on the estate for centuries did not please Wright, and he fill<*d It in. exca vating another and larger lake nearer the house and surrounding it with a grove of handsome trees which were brought from another section of the place. Under the lake he constructed a glass house which could be entered from the building, and here in summer in a room magnificently furnished, many feet un der water and with thousands of s\range fish poking their noses inquisi tively against the glass sides of the structure, he spent many hours. Old fountains and statues from Italy were carried to Lea park, and the work of building it Into a fairy palace aud gar den first earned for him the title of “Monte-Cristo.” Municipal Doetorlasr- The latest project in Zurich, Switzer land, is to tax every inhabitant over sixteen years old 87 cents a year, the state adding 1 shilling. This will yield about $100,000, which will be used to secure the services of forty physicians, who will take care of the health of the whole population of the city. How the Automobile Han Been tltll- tr.o«l la Colorado. The idea of utilizing the automobile in deer hunting has been introduced in the west, says Harper’s Weekly. Mr. W. W. Price of Colorado Springs prob- nbly lias the honor of being the first .one to go after deer and other big game In a motor ear. Mr. Price has recently returned from a tour In which he was quite successful and which covered several hundred miles through the wildest portion of the state. Accompa nied by Dr. C. E. Smith, Mr. Price start ed in a Winton car of about fifteen horsepower, going through South park nml P.uena Vista and climbing Ute pass, one of the most difficult passages in the Colorado Rockies. They entered the Flat Top country, as it is called, going directly to the deer ranges in the vehicle. Several fine specimens were shot and the game “packed” on the front of the touring car to lie brought back to their headquarters at the camp of the Montgomery Land and Cattle company. During the trip the auto passed through a considerable portion of the country which has never before been visited by a chauffeur. Near the town of Meeker a band of deer actually fol lowed the car some distance, apparent ly astonished at the strange animal. While within easy range of the riffes •carried by Mr. Price and Ids compan ions, no attempt was made to shoot them, as it was not considered sports manlike. The arrival of the huntsmen at Meek er caused a sensation, as few In the town had ever seen such a vehicle, and It was the first to make its appearance within the limits. The local paper in commenting upon the arrival said: “The first automobile to make its ap pearance in this valley arrived Tues day evening, the distance between Ri fle and Meeker having been covered in three and one-half hours, including stops and one slight breakdown. Mr. W. W. Price and Dr. C. E. Smith were the passengers. The machine was giv en a box stall at Simp Harp’s livery, and ‘Salty’ was on hand with a new fifty foot rope and a pair of hobbles to secure the tiling. All the horses in the barn talked it over that night and con cluded that when the roads were bad it would be the same old thing—double up and get up in the collar. It will not prove as destructive on the range as sheep.” NEW FLORAL QUEEN. White LitwHon Carnation 1* 11 Hybrid of Two Fink One*. The “White Lawson" carnation is the queen of the spring’s new blossoms, says the New York Herald. All the florists are talking about it, all the flower fanciers are trying to buy it, all the young women who have devoted admirers arc saying. “Now. you ought to buy that white Lawson carnation and name ii after me, just as Mr. Lawson bought the pink Lawson and named it after his wife.” The new queui came from Long Is land. She was bred in the greenhouses at Floral Park, and she is particularly becoming to the spring’s new browns and new reds. Also to be reckoned among her good qualities are her pos sibilities f ir house decoration in a background of cool green ferns and palms. At the spring flower show of the American institute this carnation was voted the most perfect new flower of the year. The first prize was awarded to the? beauty. Thu flower is said to be a hybrid of two pink ones. It is very large and possesses to an unusual degree the points of merit on which a carnation is judged, an upright stem and a small calyx. The petals are toothed very lit tle. Charles H. Allen of Floral Park was tho exhibitor of the plant at the flower show. AN IMMENSE AVIARY. St. I.011K World'* Fair Will Build a Mammoth Birdcaire. Sketches for the design of the mum- moth birdcage or aviary to be erected at the St. Louis world’s fair by the Smithsonian institution, in which al most every specimen of the feathered kingdom will be able to live without restraint, have been submitted to Su pervising Architect Taylor and Curator True, says a Washington special to the St. Louis Republic. The designs provide for pools of wa ter. shrubbery and all kinds of trees, with running water and fountains. It will be 200 feet square aud arranged to enable the visitor to walk through the center and find birds on both sides ami overhead. This exhibit will be one of the novelties at the exposition and is expected to excite much favorable com ment. Dr. Frank Baker, superintendent of the National Zoological gardens, locat ed In Washington, lias been detailed to go to St. Louis and confer with the ex position officials for a suitable locution for the cage. Continues to m&Ke Miraculous Cures READ THIS LETTER: ALMOST A MIRACLE. „ . Dim.on, 8. C., Aug. 18th, 1908. GentlemenIn September, 1899, I took rheumatism in a very bad form. ™ ont h after the disease started I had to yive up my work and go to w ? r8e UI, tff my arms and bauds were badly drawn, l ii at J cou y not U8 ? them. My legs were drawn back until my mifi ^ k*P 8 - 1 was as helpless as a baby for nearly twelve months. The muscles of my arms and legs were hard and shriveled up. I suffered death ^ w ° VeP ’ eTs 8 treate ^ eix different physicians in McColl, Dillon and Marion, out none of them could dome auy good, until Dr. J P Ewimr of milon came to see me.

I used five and a half bottles and was completely cured. That was two years ago, and my healt h has been excellent ever since. Have had no symptoms of rheumatism. I regard “Riiecmacidi” as by far the best remedy for rheumatism on the market. I cannot say too much for it. I have recommended it to others since and it has cured them. •* oI began to walk in about six days after I began to take a,d °f crutches; in about three months after I began to take it, I could walk as good as anybody, aud went back to work again.
