Pure Water.

The importance of pure water cannot be over-estimated,
and numberless have been the means adopted to obtain
that much-desired necessity. We have had filters without
number ; but although in some cases the contrivances have
been to a great extent successful, yet the time consumed in
giving a supply requisite for the ordinary purposes of a
single family has been so great that the invention, al-
though of undoubted merit, has secured but a very partial
patronage. But a filter has at last been submitted to the
public by the London and General Water Purifying Com-
pany in the Strand, which entirely obviates the objection■
that have been urged against other similar inventions, be-
cause when placed inside the ordinary cistern attached
to every house all the water drawn therefrom be-
comes perfectly pure and as bright as crystal.
The water passed through the filters supplied by the com-
pany has been submitted to the most eminent chemists,
each of whom have given it their unqualified praise.
The company, to show their confidence in the new filter,
supply it (where preferred) on hire at a very small yearly
cost, so that those who now desire to have the water freed
from all impurities can do so without the necessity of a
very large outlay. In all large establishments a supply
of pure water is of the utmost importance, because we
believe that if that cheap luxury is easy to be had the con-
sumption of strong and intoxicating drink will diminish
considerably, and the work performed by the artisan will
be much superior in every respect. The prices for the
purchase of the filter are below those usually charged for
the ordinary dribbling contrivances; therefore the company
hold out the greatest inducement for every person to avail
themselves of the new invention.

rADVRETISEMENT. j—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Pew ailments are more disheartening and none more
ominous than ulcerations on the surface of the body.
Wherever they are situated it is difficult to cure them,
unless treated judiciously with some cooling, healing, in-
vigorating application like this never-failing ointment. It
has worked wonders in making bad legs sound and strong,
oven when the power of the bloodvessels had nearly been
destroyed, and almost entire stagnation of the circulation
had rendered every other curative means abortive. No
.sore, wound, or ulcer can withstand its healing influence,
which can be most beneficially exerted when winter is
giving place to spring, and the circulation becoming more
active and more readily controllable by proper purifying,
soothing, and Strengthening agents.
