Spring Advice from a Scientific Magazine
Be careful of your diet this spring and avoid heavy winter foods. Do not rush to spring medicines or drastic coolings. If hot and thirsty, sip small amounts of pure whiskey and water to quench thirst and fortify against disease. Duffy's Pure Malt is cited as absolutely pure and best by leading chemists.
