1913: "The unscrupulous dealer will take raw spirits, or "Singlings", the familial name used by the Distiller for the first product of the still, before it has been re-distilled, and add flavoring and coloring and sell it as whiskey. This stuff, according to Amos J. Givens, an insanity expert, causes much insanity. When you drink such cheap, raw, harsh dope, you paralyze the nerve centers and the poisonous fusel oils destroy the lining of the stomach. We warn you against such dealers. We are known as THE SIMON PURE WHISKEY HOUSE".
