that it is vastly superior, for that purpose, to all the stimu¬ 
lants ever devised by man, and what will be the result ? 
Evidently there can be but one result, and that will 
be that our commercial and literary and business men will 
discard all stimulating drinks. 
If you will refer to the Chicago Inter-Ocean of the 
13th of Dec. you will find an article entitled “The Dura¬ 
tion of Life,” in which the writer attempts to show (by 
the comparison with animal life), that the duration of 
human life should not be less than one hundred years. 
He argues that if men were as considerate of them¬ 
selves as they are of their animals, their lives would be 
prolonged through a century, and signigcantly enquires 
whether human beings ought not to be treated with as 
much consideration as the beasts they employ. 
Now we know that the owner of a speedy horse 
would not resort to stimulants to keep up the physical 
force of his horse, when it is to be taxed to the utmost. 
He knows that a drink of oat meal gruel given to his 
horse will refresh and invigorate him, and enable him to 
bear the strain, and perform the task. 
So our overtaxed business men should avoid all stim¬ 
ulants. 
They should use only such beverages as will nourish 
and invigorate the system. 
They should use milk. 
The Divine Chemist made no mistake, when he com¬ 
pounded the ingredients of milk. 
He made it the true “ Elixir of Life,” and while the 
people who use it may not live to be a hundred years old, 
they will be vigorous and able to perform the duties, and 
enjoy the pleasures of life to a good old age. 
Allow us to suggest to the enterprising dealers in this 
life giving beverage, that they establish places, at central 
points in all of our large cities, where this refreshing and 
health-giving drink can be obtained by the people.
