These celebrated Filters have been fully
tested BY thousands OF families throughout
the United states since lSjf- they have been
awarded the First Premiums at state and
county Fairs; they nave Tecelvel lhe hlsIl-
est commentators from Chemists and men
Of Science, and their merit Is established IS
possessing every Scientific and Practical
adaptation for family use, rendering the
most Impure Rain, River or Hydrant Wa
ter free from all substances, and rs pure and
clear as crystal.
Impure water ike the hard water OF wells,
is one OF the chief exciting causes Of disease,
Creating derangement Of the stomach and
kidneys, resulting in dysentery, ,ehOlerasand
renal diseases; and In new countries, as In
the Western states, causing fever and ague
Dr., Weiting saws "a good deal Of Observ-
alton and experience has convinced me that
IN those sections OF country where the soil
contains lime. and where, consequently, the
water is strongly impregnated with IL, NJ
tered rain water should by all means be
used, not only for drinking, but Tor cooking
also. ItwOuld, in my opinion, prevent ma
ny diseases, especially cholera dysentery,
Dr.. Dewey, Prof. OF Chemistry, says: ITO
reason on the importance OF pure water Tor
the health and comfort OF society, or 70
prove the deleteriOus eject OF impure water
on the human system, Is unnecessary az
this day. Pure water cannot be procured
from wells, springs or streams IN this sec
tion Of the country. Our waters contain
suIphate Of lime, chloride OF lime, Chloride
I OF calcium, suIphate Of mRgneSta, and salts
. OfirOn occasionally, all Of which make wa
/ der water unit for use Besides these, there
are in the wells of all large cities and dense
villages, great impurities rom the deeompO-
sitiOn OF animal matter. These deleteriOus
substances inevitably ind their way
through the porous earth, from vaults and
other repositories Of decay1ng matter into
wells, and no method can be devised to pre-
Henry Colt, Prof Of Chemistry, Universi-
3 " College, Toronto, says: " Having pur-
chased one of your Rain Water Filters, |
must say that consider II very useful and
| excellent article. The construction Is sim
I pie, and the large quantity OF defeating
material used is also OF advantage, as tend
| ing to lengthen its period OF action. have
| tried considerable number OF experiments
with different waters, some very deeply col
/ Ored. and others Of a most offensive OdOr, in
all cases utterly unnt either tor drlnklng OF
for culinary purposes, and In every Instance
the action Of the Filter was most satisiactO-
~. as producing a clear, cOlOrless, inOdorOus
and tasteless water. The great importance
of pure water in promoting health Is uni
versally acknowledged, and the difference
observable between those sections where
pure or impure water is used, has been con-
clustyely shown by the late report OF the
very strongly recommend the use OF I'll
ters."
As rain water becomes foul by standing,
therefore these Filters are designed for puri-
fyfng rain water for drinking and cooking,
so that the hurtful effects OF impure water
may be avoided by families and individuals
and to save the expenses Of well-digging.
They are constructed with a circular, Oaken
case, steel bound, Into which Is earefully
packed a prepared compound consisting
mainly Of pure charcoal and slick. The wa
ter TO be filtered is poured in at the top,
whence Ii percOlatos through the packing.
They not only strain water, but they eheniie-
dIiB purify IL, rendering all soft water per
fectly pure and clear, ike that which buo-
bles from the crystal fountain.
In using water from one Ol these Filters a
person may be certain that he Is drinking
nothing but pure tCQter; while, with well
water, he may swallow minute bugs; or lar
vae, or spawn may hnd its way TO the stoln-
ach, causing to the Individual lifelong suf-
fering and distress. Circulars sent on applt-
