and Chemical Purposes.

These celebrated Filters have been -fulIy
tested by thousands Of families throughout
the United states since ls1ii they have been
awarded the First Premiums al 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 OF Hydrant Wa
ter free from all substances, and as pure and
clear as crystal.
Impure water, II ke the hard water Of wells,
IS one Of the che exciting causes Of disease,
creating deran- eInent OF the stomach and
kidneys, resulting In dysentery chOlera, and
renal diseases; and In new countries, as in
the western states, causing fever Snd ague
and bilious fevers.
DR.. Weiting SAYS: "a good deal Of observ-
alton and expe ience 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, prev ent ma
ny diseases, especially cholera, dysentery,
DIR. 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 rSnnOt be procured
frOm wells, springs or s. cams 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 unit 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 deleteriOus
substances inevitably find their way
through the porous earth, from vaults and
other repositories or decaying matter, Into
wells, and no method can be devised TO pre-
vent it,"
HENRY Colt, Prof Of Chemistry, UnIvers.-
I fW NfnHlaaEa Toronto q HAVING =
chased one of your Rain Water Filters
must say that consider IL "a very useful and
| excellent article. The construction IL sim
/ pie, and the large quantity OF defeating
material used is also Of advantage, as tend
| ing to lengthen It's period Of action have
/ tried 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 a clear, cOlOriess, tnodorous
and taSteleSs water. The great impOrtance
| OF pure water in promoting health Is uni
yersally acknowledged, and the difference
Observable between those sections where
/ pure or impure water is used, has been con-
clusively shown by the late report Of the
Cholera Commissioners. should, therefore,
/ very strongly recommend the use OF FIJI
ters."
As rain water becomes foul by standing,
/ therefore these Filters are designed for purt-
/ flying rain water for drinking and cooking,
may be avoided by families and Individuals
ana to save the expenses Of Well-d1gglngs
They are constructed with circular oaken
case, steel bound, Into which Is carefully
packed a prepared compound consisting
mainly Of pure charcoal and sick. The wa
ter TO be filtered is poured In at the top,
whence il percOlatcs through the packing.
They not only Strain water, but they cieHlie-
| dlfy purify it, rendering all soft water per-
| fectly pure and clear, like that which bub-
bles frOm the crystal fountain.
In using water from one Ol these Filters q
person may be certain that he Is drinking
nothing but pure tCafeg; while, with we'll
water, he may swallow minute bugs, or lar
we, or spawn may find it's way TO the stOm-
aeh, causing 20 the individual lifelong sul-
fering and distress. Circulars sent on appli-
