T 1UEY ABE DIFFERENTLY PREPARED FROM
. any Whitky in the market, and are driving many
old, and until now favorite brand-;, out of the market,
because tho principle upon which they are made ifl
superior. They are first carefully distilled from se
lected stock and stored away until uliey have attained
a certain age, when they are
by a. Peculiar Piocess,
which extracts tbe fusel oil, but retaios tho essential
oila of the grain. It is the fusel oil which possesses
tbe poisonous properties, and imparts tbe sharp, acrid
flavor noticeable in many brands of whisky; it is the
ferment and essential oils which impart the rich, oily,
mellow flavor, and it is principally in
EXTRACTING THE FUSEL OIL,
and retaining the essential oils, which constitutes the
superiority and peculiarity of this process.
At the time of re-distillation, the package! are
thoroughly cleansed and steamed out, refilled with the
perfected product, and again stored away to ripen and
mellow with age, which Jt does in a much greater de
gree tkao is possible without such treatment. We di
vide it into different grades, according to age, desig
nated as X, XX, XXX and XXXX, and the latter chal
lenges comparison with ANY WHISKY,
Without Regard to Age or Price.
The almost universal testimony of those who have
used the CENTURY WHISKIES is that there is an en
tire absence of headachea and other disagreeable after
effects so often experienced in tbe use of other brands.
This is a direct consequence of the
Parity of the Century Whiskies,
and the impurity of many other brands. They are
ABSOLUTELY PURE ; five prominent chemists cer
tify to this fact, viz:
Professor SILLMAN,
State Chemistof Connecticut.
Professor C. U. SHEPARD, Jn.,
State Chemist of South Carolina.
Professor W. C. TILDEN,
Washington, D. C.
Professor JOHN DABBY,
Professor A. MEANS,

FAULT,’’ and “FREE FROM ANY DELETERIOUS
SUBSTANCE WHATEVER.’’
It has now been some time in use for hospital and
other medical purposes where stimulants are required,
and it has been noted that in delicate and critical cases
where used, that there was an entire absence of the
nervous prostration and reaction which so often fol
lows the use of ordinary stimulants.
