Pernod and Sons ABSINTHE

has now spread to all parts of

the world; this is no exaggera-

tion ; to be convinced it is

enough to attend the loading of

the wagons, which, on shipping

days, come to line up along the

docks of the factory. The

destination indicated on each

case permits us to follow the famous liqueur in our imagination

to the most diverse latitudes, to Canada, the Argentine Republic,

Mexico, Cochin China and the Sudan.

France was its first and is still its principal outlet. It was

introduced into the remote areas by our soldiers for whom it

neutralized the effects of the fever produced by the bad quality

of the water and the noxious miasmas of the marshes; - and by

the many foreigners who for business or pleasure visit our

country; after having been introduced to the true Pernod and

sons absinthe in the cafes of our towns and aboard our steam

liners,our guests, once back home, are not satisfied any more with

substitutes and require the authentic trademark.
