and Health that is worth remembering
Pure water is incapable Of putrefsction,
but ordinary wafer contains q small guam
1 tity Of organic matter in solution, which,
by the sction of the oxygen in the atmos-

Unable to soskage IRON neighboFing dwell

some as a beverage, every q should
avail himself Of the best method of puri-
tying drinking water"
