PURE WATER.

The value of pure water. as a
sanitary agent, can not well be over.
estimated. Especially should great
care be bestowed upon the selection
of the water that is used for drink
ing and cooking, and while in many
cases really water is readily accessible
it is also the case that much Of the
water that finds its way into oul
bodies is very unfit tor that purpose.
The great evil is the presence Of
orga mic matter; in other words, dead
and decaying animal and vegetable
matter has found its way into it.
In the country, where the supply
ofwater is obtained from a sprin 6
bubbling from hill.sid e, and con-
stantly changing, this difficulty does
not prevail to any great extent.
But in thickly peopled districts
where wells are sunk beneath the
surface, we often find the water so
impure that it produces disease.
This is especially the case where
wells and cesspools are in proximity
to each other. 1t is generally
received idea that after water has
been filtered through thick layer of
soil it becomes purified from all
organic matter, and that this is true
to certain extent there can be no
doubt. But it often happens that
liquids highly charged with organic
matter will flow through assures in
the ground for considerable distance
without losing much of their impur-
tiles. Alderman Mechi tells us that
after heavy application of liquid
manure TO his fields. the drains that
are situated three and four feet below
the surface always discharged large
volums Of highly-colored liquid. If
this be the cause under circumstances
that won d seem to afford the very
best conditions for perfect filtration,
what must be the result where the
distance that the Sc wage has topass
is not very great, and where it con-
stantly flows through the same
assures or channels?
