OLDEST MAN
IN THE WORLD.
Mr. Stephen Joice, of Waco, Texas, has made an affidavit that he is
148 years of age. he is still in possession of all his faculties. He says that
DUFFY’S PURE MALT WHISKEY has been his only medicine and has kept him
VIGOROUS AT 148 YEARS OF AGE.
’Phis is the most marvelous case on record, and has
puzzled a great many leading physicians who have visited
Mr. Joice in behalf of science. The doctors admit that there
is no doubt but DUFFY’S PURE HALT WHISKEY pos
sesses some peculiar medicinal properties that kill all dis
ease germs and prevent decay of the tissues and prolong
life far beyond the Biblical allowance of threescore and ten.
KjTTv TVxus. February 1. 1!K>4.—Stephf-n Joice, who api»«*nm] personally
Sir \ before \\\ L. Tucker, Tax Collector of McLennan County, after beinj' duly
x sworn, said he was 148 years of aye. He is a well-known citizen, residing at
Maun st., East Waco.
The representative of the News drove to “ Uncle Stev’s” residence, where
for forty years ho has been a law giver and a prophet to his people.
Uf \“ 1 " as bom,” l.e aaid to the reporter, “on the eastern shore of the Cheo-
U ll»* lUAX/rnfii Hill In n ,,. ir the Murvland line, and was well ae<{uaiuted with the vassals of
Baron Thomas Fairfax when he ruled that region. When the first Colonial
^ Congress met at liiiladelphia, I was there on a visit to my parents, being then
^ a stout M.uiig man, accustomed to active life on both sea and land. While I
^ I fA\,\\ .v« hnvoalvvavs heen a temperanw man, nevertheless, 1 find with advancing years
that a stimulant such us Paul recommended to Timothy to be good for my
stomach and to prevent the infirmities of old age, and 1 always use liuffy’s Pure
Malt W hiskey, which I find serves as a superb tonic and general renovator.
For diet 1 prefer pork, hut can eat a little beef and digest it when 1 take a little
Huffy’s Pure Malt W hiskey after each meal.”
Here the old man went to his cupboard and brought out a bottle of Duffy’s
Pure Malt Whiskey and a teacup. *• Some people,” he continued, “put herbs
in their stimulant. 1 take mine in half a glass of milk or water. 1 take no
other medicine.”
He then fixed up his midday dose, and. replacing the bottle in the old cup
board, said. 41 1 was born under the reign of (leorge II, but lie died before I can
remember, and the first King I heard much talk about was George III. I worked
for some of the Revolutionary soldiers, and I used to hear them talk lots alxmt
George 111 and his tyranny. My young mistress sang ‘The Star Sjiangled
Banner'’ when it was first sot to music, and l was near enough to hear the
cannonading of Fort McHenry. It was about the time when the city of W'ash-
iugtoii "as burned tiiat people began to call me old man Steve.”
To combat the forces of disease and preserve vigorous old age, you
must feed and nourish the vital spark with Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey,
the true elixir of life.
There are nearly 4,000 men and women in America who have passed
the century mark, and nearly every one of them owes, not only his or her
long life, but health, happiness and buoyancy of spirits to this great medicine.
No other remedy can show such an army of living witnesses to its health-
giving, life prolonging properties.
CAUTION.—When you ask for Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey he sure
you get I lie genuine. Unscrupulous dealers, mindful of ihe excellence
of tliis preparation, will try to sell you cheap imitations and malt whiskey
substitutes, which are put on the market for profit only,and which, far from
relieving the sick, are positively harmful. Demand “Duffy's” and lie sure
you get it. It is the only absolutely pure Malt Whiskey which contains
medicinal, health-giving qualities. Duffy's I’urc Malt Whiskey is sold in
sealed bottles only ; never in hulk. Look for the trade-mark, the “Old
Chemist,” on the label, and lie certain the seal over the cork is unbroken.

If they are sick or out

Pains, achesand rheu

Kidney ^rouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney-
poisoned biocd through veins and arteries.
!. used to be considered that only urinary-
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin

Eight months ago I was so ill
that 1 was compelled to lie or sit
down nearly all the time. My
stomach was so weak and upset
that I could keep nothing on itp
and I vomited frequently. I
could not urinate without great
pain and I coughed so much that
my throat arid lungs were raw
and gore. The doctors pro
nounced it Bright’s disease and
others said it was consumption.
It mattered little to me what
they cal led it and I had no de
sire to live. A sister visited me
from St. Louis and asked me if
I had ever tried Wine of Cardui.
I told her I had not and she
bought a bottle. I believe that
it saved my life. I believe many
women could save much suffer
