THE BANN WHISKEY . —In spito of all that has been said and written in favour of teetotalism , there can be no doubt but the moderate and judicious use of alcohol is not only not injurious , but actually beneficial . It is not the use , but the abuse that does harm , and many of the ill effects of the use of spirits we daily see around us is greatly aggravated by the fact that much of the spirit consumed

is of very inferior and even deleterious quality . Of all spirituous liquors whiskey is pronounced by the majority of medical men to be the best , hut this verdict is given on tho assumption that the whiskey is of good quality , and well matured by age . New whiskey is largely impregnated with fusil oil , and is perfectly maddening in its effects on those who partake of it . Old whiskey , on the contrary , is the

purest and most wholesome spirit that can be drank , and is much to be preferred to tho finest brandy . No artificial means that have hitherto been used have succeeded in separating the fusil oil from tho whiskey , or destroying its injurious effects , though some of them have to a great extent disguised its presence . Age , and age alone , can effectually dispel the pernicious properties of this subtle poison ,

for it is nothing less than poison . It is quite possible to flavour and disguise new whiskey , and give it the appearance of old spirit , but still the baneful presence of the fusil is there . One of the best guarantees , indeed the very best , that a purchaser can have of the real age of the whiskey he is buying is the Customs' Certificate of date on that which is bottled in the Bonded Stores of Her Majesty ' s

Customs . Messrs . James Wilson and Son , of Belfast , having a large stock of six years old whiskey have adopted the plan of bottling in the Customs' Stores , and their Bann Whiskey can be purchased with the most perfect confidence that its age is really what is represented . Age , however , is not everything in whiskey , and unless the spirit ia pure when first distilled , and made from first quality material , no age

—not even half a century—will make bad whiskey good . The Bann Whiskey , supplied by Messrs . James Wilson and Son , through their numerous agents , possesses the combined desiderata of quality and age to au unusual degree ; and hence its excellence is such that all who use it once continue to do so . Those who have never yet tried it have a treat in store , aud should lose no time in procuring it .
