Mr. Phillip A. Barrett could not enjoy his meals
and waa in very poor health, because of a com
plication of stomach disorders. Nothing did
him any good till he used Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey, the sure remedy for all stomach
troubles, which put him on his feet in short
order.
"I am past 75 years now, and a veteran of the
Civil War. I have been troubled with several dif
ferent complaints in the stomach, but I find great
relief by using Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. I can
now eat things that I could not eat bofore and it
is a great help to me. I will continue to use this
valuable medicine and will recommend it to any
one who sees me or writes me. I have used agreat
many different medicines, with little relief, but
Duffy's is a medicine of real merit." Phillip A.
Barnett, 156 Madison St., South Side, Eastou, Pa.
Ministers of the gospel, doctors of medicine,
nurses and people everywhere unite in commend
ing Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, a perfect tonic
stimulant, the one true medicinal whiskey. At this
time it is especially' valuable in rebuilding the sys

MASTERING
When B. Fay Mills was In Omaha
recently he cited, In one of his lec
tures, the case of John tlordon. 2ti3
ciouth Twenty-fourth streeu. In Il
lustration of the power of mind to
overcome adverse conditions. To
those who know th circumstances,
the forcefuluess of th Illustration is .
fully appreciated.
The pluck, the cheerfulness, ' the
manly pride of John tiordon are as
remarkable aa hU physical ooiuiition
la pitiful, and those acquainted with '
his case cannot cease to marvel how
his intrepid and sanguine rplrit com
pels vital aervloe from a broken body
that is already half dead.
Mr. Gordon ia a hero who is fight
ing the battle for self-support
though a prisoner within four walls
and flat on hia back. Thus far he
has continued to be the master of a
moat cruel fate, and his struggle
makes the strongest possible appeal
both to our heroic sense and to the
sentiment of compassion. By help
ing him we help a brave soldier most
grievously beet, fighting at fright
ful odda, that would dismay any but
the boldest, and we help a brother on
whom affliction could not lay a
heavier hand without finally crush
ing out ma lnaomiiaDie spirit.
Gordon's effort to "make a living"
a phruse which in his case has a particularly literal meaning and a grim,
import has been described from time to time In The Bee. lie must do
what he can do propped up on a pillow with a writing tablot In his hands
and telephone fixed above his bed. lie is a subscription raent for mnitu
Eines und pei'odicals, a yea.- ago hoping to establiah a business he under
took to, earn a $1,000 prize offered for a certain number of huhscrlntlons
to twe high class publications, with a disposition to have a share in re
lieving the wants and woe ol others and not overcome bv his own he ar
ranged that the priie should go to the Child Snvlng Institute. The $1,000
was earned for the Infants' Hem but Gordon only realised expenses,
meanwhile weakened by the trails of suffering and Increasing wounds having
only a short time to live, work as an ojily hope of provision for the future
he made a contract with the I.adlesT Home Journal and the Saturday
KvenlnK Post to procure 1,000 miLKcrlpttons to these magazines for which,
the publishers will deposit $2,000 with the Conservative Savings A LiOan
