Water-Thc Value Of Clsterns.

Health can as little be supported with out pure water
as pure air. When either of these fluids are deteriorated
by admixture with foreign matters, disease will be a
common if not constant attendant. The Ancients were
aware of this fact. An old Roman writer informed US
that the livers and spleens of animals were inspected in
order to Judge of the ~salubrity of the waters and ali
mentary productions of a ccuntry, and to regulate ac-
cordinglyi the sites for the construction Of cities. The
size and bad state of the above mentioned organs are in
fact a pretty certain sign Of the insolubility of the pas
turage, and the bad quality of the waters. The rot, in
sheep, for example, is a disease Of the liver, and is gen
Grated by pasturage on low marsby grounds, and by
drinking the water of s,agnant pools or ponds. The
horse is known to thrive better when supplied with soft
than with hard water. The latter gives his coat a
rough, unhealthy appearance and his own instinct
prompts him often to drink muddy rain water in prefer
snce TO- very hard we'll water. The inhabitants OF a
country exposed to the double influence Of bad water
and impure air suffer much from disease. Bad air will
be com pa~rativeiy innocuous, if pains be taken to i'm
prove the quality Of the water.
