The following, in regard to the advertisement
in another column of J. W. Jilzs patent well
auger, we copy from the ST Louis Journal of
March 3, 1874
Without good nrd pure water it is impossible
Tor the human family to enjoy good health or
live in comfort. Impure water has been the
source of more disease and more epidemcs than
any other single cause. Most surface water ia
more or less infected with Impurities apd conse-
quently deeterous to these who use it. The old
| style OF wells and the method of waIling them
up has always been q constant source of annoy
ence to the human family. We are glad to be
able 10 state that by the use of JILL patent well
euger, oil the difficulty under which we have so
long laoored is thoroughly and completely re-
medied with this auger, which has now in its

ing the best of satisfaction. The truth is: it
bores faster and is more successful than the pro-
pretor adver,iseS, he does not wish TO over
state its capacities, but desires it to 20 on its
own merits. With il wells can be made through
( the worst quicksaud, thing which has never
before been accomplished by any other auger in
the world
We headed this article "a great success - and
the reacer will agree with us when he knows the
wonderful demand for this suger and for terrific
ry for the same which has sprung up in the last
three years. Besides shipping augers to nearly
all parts of the country, the proprietor, though
hrstLntending to retain all the territory and CON
troll the same himself has found il to be utterly
Impractichhle for one to manage il. and
consequently has within the past year sold great
/ deal of territory, selling many counties in the
/ state Of Illinois for one thousand dollars each
II has also received the highest testimonials from
the Governors OF Arkansas Iowa and Dakota
and many other prominent men all over the
West. Many men have taken hold of il. and in
boring wells have found very lucrative and
profitable business. Mr.. W. w Jill the pateu-
tee and sole proprietor, is q man OF remarkable
Inventive genius, thoroughly practica! and relia-
hle, having the testimonials of hundreds of his
prominent fellow citizens and what is better a
highly successful business cnreer to point TO we
know of no invention which has done more prec-
teal good TO the community a large than the
invention o! this auger, and we can heartily re-
commend II and the proprietor to all persons in
terested IN any way in well boring.
