	+ + ===After Walter B. Duffy's Death=== + When Walter B. Duffy died, the Rochester Distilling Co. finally began to buckle under the continued pressure of Dr. Wylie's efforts through the FDA. Dr. Wylie had warned the patent medicine industry that using the word "cure" would subject products to particular scrutiny. Beginning in 1915, Duffy's Pure Malt Liquor ceased to make medicinal claims other than its being a "tonic stimulant" and "household remedy." As Prohibiton set in, Duffy's dropped the label "whiskey" and marketed its product strictly as a "tonic." The comapny moved to Los Angeles, and changed its name to Duffy's Laboratory, Ltd. The depiction of the "old chemist" on its labels was dropped. The product was still whiskey, with a labeled alcohol content of "not over 40 percent." (Forty percent alcohol content is approximately 80 proof.) Eventually, even Duffy's couldn't survive government scrutiny, and it closed its doors in the midst of Prohibition in the year 1926. Duffy's remained permanently out of business, never to reemerge after prohibition.

	+ In order to help pay for the expenses of the Spanish American War, Congress passed a special tax on patent medicines. On July 5, 1898, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, N. B. Scott, wrote to the local collector of revenues in Rochester, ruling that "Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, is being advertised as a cure for consumption, dyspepsia, malaria, etc., liable to a stamp tax as a medicinal article." A background memo elaborated that although Duffy's contained nothing but distilled spirits, it was a patent medicine "by the manner in which it is presented to the public." The ruling decreed a tax of two cents per bottle. While the stamp tax did cost Duffy a considerable sum of $40,000 per year, in actually it saved him from hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal and state liquor taxes, and allowed him to advertise as "the only whiskey recognized by the Government as medicine." + + In 1905 and 1906, investigative journalist [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Hopkins_Adams Samuel Hopkins Adams] wrote a series of eleven articles called "The Great American Fraud" for Collier's Weekly, exposing many of the false claims made by patent medicines, and pointing out that in some cases the "medicines" damaged the health of the people taking them Though he admitted that Duffy was partially justified in his claim of Federal recognition of his whiskey as medicine, Adams took particular aim at Duffy's product because of its claims to "cure." He stated that Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey was inferior, even as a whiskey. He also exposed the "testimonials" by alleged clergymen, entrepreneurs, and Temperence workers in Duffy's malt whiskey advertisements as works of pure fiction. Despite Adams' exposé, sales of Duffy's malt whiskey remained strong.[[FootNote([http://www.pre-pro.com/midacore/view_vendor.php?vid=ROC11387 The Potomac Pontil] Sullivan, Jack "How Mr. Duffy Outwitted Uncle Sam - and Got Rich''.

While many distillers marketed their alcohols as "for medicinal use only," but didn't specify what sort of medicine it was, Duffy decided to straddle both worlds of the temperance movement by selling his alcohol in pubs and bars, as well as marketing it, beginning in 1886, as a cure for specific ailments, such as consumption (tuberculosis), bronchitis, pneumonia, dyspepsia, weariness, any lung condition, malaria, and the "greatest known heart tonic."

The advertisements usually included a warning not to purchase from "unscrupulous" dealers, who might try to pass of "dangerous imitations and substitutes" which were "positively harmful". Duffy backed up his fiction by concocting a story that "the formula was worked out fifty years ago by one of the world's greatest chemists." The company adopted a logo of a bearded scientist, holding up the concoction he had supposedly invented. To further validate his whiskey as a medicine, he gave away "Duffy" branded medicine spoons, rather than shot glasses.
