Iiupnriiics IN Water.
lBOston Courier !


At a recent meeting of the British
Association, the anatomical and physl.
illogical section were occupied with u
most interesting discussion upon what
we ought to drink and what to cat
Professor WNnklyn, the well-known
analytical! chemist, oponod the contro-
vcrsy by reading paper ON the effects
of the mineral substances in drinking
water on the health Of the community,
lie commenced with some statistics
which ought TO strike horror into the
heart even of II Good Templar. The
Professor tells us that an adult male
imbihcs from half gallon TO n gallon
of fluid in some shape or other, and,
however small may be the per cenlngc
of salts contained even in the purcst
well water, it yet stands to reason that
six gallons Of well wntcr contain an op.
prcciable amount of solid matter, Pro
lessor Wanklyn, indeed, shows that
there is even more mineral matter III

hold bread, IT, in other words II loaf
of bread is burned to ashes,
n very small residue OF mineral
matter is left, while, on the
other hand, if u gallon Of drinking water
is oyaporNted its mineral contents will
be found much larger than might have
been supposed, There are. we learn,
two kinds of drinking watcr-thc hard
and the soIt--and II man who is Nccus-
toned to the one can not without risk
suddenly adapt himself to the other.
Nor is this all; for even those who ob.
ject to water for drinking purporos can
not help taking it in various shapes,
Beer, for instance is made with water,
and so is tea, and water is daily con
sumcd by many people in combination
with alcoholic liquors. There is an old
story of an Irish squire who said that
upon principle he never touched a drop
of water, but he liked his cup of tea in
the morning, aud his tumbIcr of grog
ut night Now, according to Professor
Wanklyn, it makes all the difference in
the world to man what are tho pre-
else mineral constituents that enter
into the watorwith which his tea is made
and his grog is mixed Lime for In
stance, is an essential element of the
human body, 1t enters into the bones
and into tho,enamol OF the teeth, and
without steady supply of it in some
shape or other, and in districts where
only soft water can be procurcd1 the
children are apt to suffer from what is
commonly called ricltets--a painful and
distressing malody, believed by medical
men to be due TO deficiency of lime
in the organism, Upon the diseases
which are the result of drinking i'm
pure water we need hardly dwell. 1t is
now generally recognized that typhoid
fever and cholera are almost entirely
duo to contaminated water supply. The
result has been that of late years eau.
tious people have taken to boiling their
water in the hope of thereby destroying
all organic matter in it, and altcrward
iiltering through u charcoal filter. Such
n process, of course thoroughly elimi-
Mates every possible source Of conta-
gion On the other hand the water
thus treated becomes soft, and is alto
gether deficient in lime and those min
eral salts certain supply of which is
absolutely necessary for health.

the old board for It's economical admin

was so contrary to Democratic preoe-

that Democrats must condeDa any
