These celebrated Filters have been fully
tested by thousands Of families throughout
the United states since 1854; they have been
awarded the First Premiums at State aud
County Fairs; they have received the high
est commentators from Chemists and men
OfScience, and their merit IS established as
possessing every Scientific and Practical
adaptation for family use, rendering tho
most Impure Rain, River or Hydrant Wa
ter free from ali substances, and rs pure and
Impure water, like the hard water OF wells,
Is one OF the chief exciting causes OF disease,
creating arrangement OF the stomach and
Kidneys, resulting In dysenterys cholera, and
renal diseases; and In new countries, as in
the Western States, causing fever and ague
and bilious fevers.
alton and experience has convinced me that
IN those sections Of country where tho soil
contains lime. and where, consequently, the
water Is strongly impregnated with it, III
tered rain water should by all means be
used, not only for drinking, but for cooking
also. II would, In my opinion, prevent ma
ny diseases, especially cholera, dysentery,
DR.. Dewey, Prof. OF Chemistry, says: "To
reason on the Importance OF pure water for
the health and comfort Of society," or 70
prove the deleteriOus effect OF impure water
on the human system, Is unnecessary at
this day. Pure water cannot be procured
from wells, springs or streams In this sec
ton OF the country. Our waters contain
suIphate Of lime, chloride OF lime, Chloride
OF calcium, sulphate OF magnesia, and salts
Ofiron occasionally all Of which make wa
der water unfit for use. Besides these, there
are in the wells OF all large cities and dense
villages, great impurities from the deeompO-
sition Of animal matter. These deleteriOus
substances Inevitably md their way
through the porous earth, from vaults and
other repositories Of decaying matter, into
wells, and no method can be devised 70 pre-
Henry Colt, Prof. Of Chemistry, UnIversi-
ty College, Toronto, says: a Having pur-
chased one Of your Rain Water Filters,
must say that consider Il a very useful and
excellent article. The construction Is sim
pie, and the large quantity Of defeating
material used Is also Of advantage, as tend
ing to lengthen its period Of action. / have
tried a considerable number Of experiments
with different waters, some very deeply col
Ored, and others Of a most offensive OdOr, IN
ali cases utterly unit either for drinking or
for culinary purposes, and IN every instance
the action Of tbs Filter was most Satisfaoto-
~, as producing s clear, eOlOrlesss, tnOdOrOus
and tastelesE water. The great importance
on pure water In promoting health Is unf-
Versally acknowledged, and the difference
observable between those sections where
pure or impure water = used, mas been con
elusively shown BY the late report Of the
Cholera Commissioners. / should, therefore,
very strongly recommend the use OF Fill
ters."
As rain yater becomes foul by standing.
therefore these Filters are designed for DuFf-
fying rain water for drinking and cooking,
20 that the hurtful effects Of Impure water
may be avoided by families and individuals
and 70 save the expenses Of Well-digging.
They are constructed with a circular, Olilken
case, steel bound, into which Is carefully
packed a prepared compound consisting
mainly OF pltre charcoal and slieZ. The wa
ter 10 be filtered Is poured In at the top,
whence it percolatcs through the packing.
They not only strain water, but they chen1fe-
d,ig purity 10, rendering all sOft water per-
fectly pure and clear, Ike that which bub-
bles from the crystal fountain.
In using water from one Ol these Filters
person may be certain that he Is drinking
nothing but pure tDnter; while, with well
water, he may swallow minute bugs; or lar
we, or spawn may md It's way % the stOm-

fering and distress. Circulars sent on appli-
