These celebrated Filters have been fully
tested by thousands Of families throughout
the United states since 1871, they have been
awarded the First Premiums az state and
County Fairs, they have received the high
est tcommendatiOns from Chemists and men
of Science, and their merit is established as
possessing every Scientific and Practical
adaptation for family use, Ten9erlng il tne

used, not only for drinking, but Tor cooking
also. IL would, in my opinion, prevent ma

chased one OF your Rain Water Filters,
must say that consider II q very useiui anu
excellent article. The construction Is sim
pie, and the large quantity Of defeating
material used Is also of advantage, as tend
ing TO lengthcn 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
all eases utterly unfit either for drinking or
for cuffnary PURPOSES, and in every instance
the acton OF the Filter was most satiSfacto-
y, as producing clear, cOlOriesSr 1nOdorous
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-
clusively shown by the late report Of the
Cholera Commissioners. should, therefore,
very strongly recommend the use OF Fill

As rain water becomes foul BY standing,
therefore these Filters are designed for puri-
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 circular, OaSen
case, steel bound, into which is carefully
packed n prepared compound consisting
mainly OF pure charcoal and sileX. The wa
ter to be filtered is poured in at the top,
whence il pereOlatcs through the packing.
They not only strain water, but they eheniic-
