As Supplied to the British Royal Commission, Victoria House, Chicago, Leading Clubs, Hotels, and Wine Merchants at home and abroad. As a Scotch Whisky there is nothing finer than "Auld Scottie," made from the purest selected '.llaterial, and blended with the greatest of care. Invalids requiring a genuine stimulant will find in "Auld Scottie" Whisky one of the purest form. For Medicinal purposes it equals old Brandy. The "LANCET" says-" This Whisky contains 41 ·75 per cent. of absolute alcohol, equal to 86·28 per cent. of proof spirit. The residue, dried at 100° C., amounts to 0·25 per cent. It is a well­ matured and excellent whisky." NO HIGHER MEDICAL TESTIMONY IS ENJOYED BY ANY BRAND. As a guarantee of the contents, every bottle is enveloped in wire and bears the Proprietor's seal in lead, without which none is genuine. THUS- COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION, Cll!CAGO, 1893.
