In fact, Bo disastrous have been the results of the whisky-habit on the other side, that special inquiries have been instituted to investigate the matter exhaustively.

Those were the conclusions come to: It appears, first, when whisky began to come into extensive use it was made from malted barley, and that such reputation as it for relative wholsomeness- possesses was founded on the malt whisky; second, we now learn that this type hae been

This is an age of sham and delusion, so far as many foods and most spirituous beverages are concerned. There is needed a Dickens or a Reade to expose the methods in vogue among manufacturers of preserved foods and of alcoholic beverages. Probably, if the subject were thoroughly probed, it would be found that American makers of whisky are as conscienceless as are their a British brothers, and care little for the public health so long as they can fill their own pockets.
