"Your malt whiskey has been in my home since my marriage, which is ' nearly four years, and has been termed by me "the family doctor." My wife recently has been suffering with hypochondriacal .mania and tried many doctors, who failed in their ef forts to effect a cure. I suggested Duffy's Malt Whiskey and fresh air, which she tried, and am happy to say that she haa entirely recovered, thanks to your Malt Whiskey. My wife and self have both suffered from loss of appetite at different periods of our married life, and a teaspoonful of your product in water before eating seemed to work wonders. I find also that when worn out and fatigued a little of your medicine (Mrs. Fath calls it beverage) is the very thing to make her feel right.
