Let US have Pure Ice.

To the Editor OF the Free Press and Times.
As the time approaches when our people
are filling their ice houses, a few words IN
reference to the Importance of securing
supply of pure ice may not be out of place.
A very general notion obtains that ice is
pure, on matter whence the source but this
is very grave mistake. 1t is true that
water in the process of freezing has tend
ency to eliminate any impurities it NAV
contain, whether in solution or mechanical
" held in suspension; but this process oil
self-purifcation is at the best only partial
and incomplete, as any oneimay prove to him
self by selecting a piece Of ice, and, after
melting. eyaporating the water to dry
ness, when very perceptible residue will
remain. thus showing that the ice was not
pure.
In fact there is quite as wide a range in
the quality of ice. as of water; and, in
view of this fact. too great care cannot be
taken in the selection of the best ice.
Some of your readers are doubtless
familiar with the results Of the investisa-
ton as to the extensive epidemic which
prevailed at the beginning of the season OF
1875 at Rye Beach, New Hampshire, which
was clearly shown to be owing solely to
the impure ice used by one OF the hotels,
among whose guests alone thc epedemit
prevailed.
Besides. recent experiments have shown
that many microscopic germs OF both
vegetable and animal life survive temper
ature far below the freezing point. and are
capable Of development so soon as the
proper elevation of temperature is secured
and we are therefore by no means secure In
the use of ice, taken from water which IN
midsummer we would hesitate to drink.
There is abundant evidence that our
people have not been sufficiently careful
concerning this impor tsnt matter, but 1T l.
to be hoped that with our abundant supply
of pure water and pure ice we may not II
the future assume any unnecessary risk.

wife and family, and general rejoicing was the
result.
The question now was, what had produced this

three months he was able to throw aside his cane

and friends (ior miles around) who were suffering
from swelled limbs, Rheumatism, Neuralgia. Stiff

1t is mistake to suppose that Casto1ia is not
adapted to grown persons as we'll as children. They
only need to increase the quantity. But children
have so many complaints for which Castoria is
adapted-like WIND collie, sour stomach, worms,

recommended TO them.
Its effects are more certain than CASTOR OIL. 1t
contains no alcohol and is as pleasant to take as
