Purifying Rain, River and Hydront

and Chemical Purposes

These celebrated Filters have been fully
tested By thousands OF families throughout
the United states since lS5I- they have been
awarded the First Premiums az state and
County 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
ter free from all substances and as 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 dysentery, eholerals and
renal diseases; and In new countries, as In
the Western states, causing fever and 9gue
and bilious fevers.
Or. 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 10, 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,
Or. Dewey. Prof of Chemistry, says: ITO
reason on the importance Of pure water Tor
the health and comfort Of society," or 70
prove the deletertOus effect 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
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
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 rom the decompO-
sitiOn OF animal matter. These deletoriOus
substances inevitably find their way
through the porous earth, trOm vaults and
other repositories OF decaying matter, into
wells, and no method can be devised to pre-
vent it."
Henry Colt, Prof Of Chemistry, UniversI-
ty College, Toronto, says: " Having pur-
chased one OF your Rain Wdter Filters,
must say that L consider IL 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 n 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 OF
for culinary purposes, and in every Instance
the action Of the Filter was most saIisfactO-
~, as producing clear, cOlOrlesS, tnOdOrOus
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
elusively shown by the late report OF the
Cholera Commissioners. 1 should, Therefore,
very strongly recommend the use OF FL
ters."
As rain water becomes foul by standing,
therefore these Filters are designed for puri-
fging rain water for drinking and cooking,
so that the hurtful effects of impuTe water
may be avoided by families and individuals
and to save the expenses Of weil-digging.
They are constructed with a circular, Oaken
case, steel bound, into which is carefully
packed n prepared compound consisting
mainly OF pure charcoal and slick. The wa
ter to be filtered is poured in at the top,
whence it percOlatcs through the packing.
They not only strain water, but they cheniic-
dliy purify 70, 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 lcGter; while, with wen
water, he may swallow minute bugs; or lar
v3p, or spawn may find its way 10 the stOm-
ach, causing TO the individual lifelong suf-
fering and distress. Circulars sent on appli-
