Roberts, of La Grange, III. Mrs. Roberts Doesn’t Look a Day Over Sixty; Reads the Papers and Sews Without Spectacles. “Thanks to Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey, I Can Digest Ary thing, Sleep Soundly, and Am Smart for My Age.” “ I write this letter to thank you for what Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey has done for me. In 1898 I had an unusually severe attack of Bronchitis, and the best doctors said I would surely die, because I was such an old lady an<i there was not enough vitality left in my body to resist the disease. Nothing they gave me had any effect. “ My son saw your advertisement and bought a bottle of Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey for me. It saved my life. It brought back my strength, and I have not been sick a day since. “ I was born in May, 1804, in the town of Clif- tondale, Mass., and 1 am therefore in my 100th year. I can sew and read the papers without the aid of spectacles, and am unusually smart for my age. Thanks to Duffy’s Malt Whis key, 1 can digest anything, and I am evidently getting al. the nourishment out of my food, for I am so much stronger than I have been for years, and am in good flesh. 1 sleep soundly. I never take any other medicine. Duffy’s is the very life of old people, and I would not be without it.” J J J * e MRS D M HUBERTS. The average length of life is less than 50 years.
