| These celebrated Filters have been fully
| tested by thousands of families throughout
| the United states since 1884; they have been
| sIyarcied the First Premiums at State and
/ Connfv Fairs: they have received the high-
| est Communications from Chemists and men
| OF Science, and their merit is established as
possessing every Scientific and Practical
| adaptation for family use, rendering the
most Impure Rain, River or Hydrant Wa

clear as crystal.

DR.. Weiting says: "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 for cooking
also. ItwOuld, in my opinion, prevent ma
ny diseases, especially cholera, dysentery,
etc.,
DR.. Dewey, Prof Of Chemistry, says: "To
reason on the importance Of pure water for
the health and comfort of society, or to
/ 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
sulphate of lime, chloride of lime, Chloride
OF calcium, sulphate OF magnesia, and salts
ofirOn occasionally, all of which make wa
ter hard. Most of the above substances rem
der water unfit for use. Besides these, there
are in the wells OF all large cities and dense
villages, great impurities from the decompO-
sftion OF animal matter. These deleteriOus
substances inevitably md their way
through the porous earth, from vaults and
other repositories Of decaytng matter, into
wells, and no method can be devised to pre-
Henry Colt, Prof Of Chemistry, Universi-
ty College, Toronto, says: " Having pur-
chased one Of your Rain Water Filters,
must say that consider it 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 q considerable number of experiments
with different waters, some very deeply col
ored, and others OF most offensive odor, in
all cases utterly unfit either for drinking or
for culinary purposes, and in every instance
the action of the Filter was most satisfacto-
", as producing clear, cOlorleSS, fnodorOus
and tasteless water. The great Importance
of pure water in promoting health IS uni
veTsally acknowledged, and the difference
observable between those sections where
pure or impure water is used, has been con-
clustvely shown by the late report OF the
Cholera Commissioners. i should, therefore,
very strongly recommend the use OF Fill
ters."
As rain water becomes foul by standing,
therefore these Filters are designed for puTi-
fying 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 carefully
packed a prepared compound consisting
mainly Of pure charcoal and sick. The wa
tel to be filtered is poured in at the top,
whence it peTcOlates through the packing.
They not only strain water, but they cleHlfc-
ally purity it, 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 a
person may be certain that he is drinking
nothing but pure iCdteT; while, with well
water, he may swallow minute bugs; or lar
wa, or spawn may find its way to the stom-
ach, causing to the individual lifelong suf-
fering and distress Circulars sent on appli-
cation. Address
