THE APoLLINARIs MINERAL WATER.-The
great esteem in which the Apollinaris Natural
mineral Waters are held by many members
OF the medical profession, and the immense
sales OF these waters since their qualities
nave become known, are, good evidences of
their medicinal value and of the great need
they supply. In 1874 the sales of the Apolli-
naiIS waters in Great Britain alone amounted
to to three hundred thousand bottles; in 1877
three years afterward-they are said to have
reached a sale of five million bottles From
the popularity of these waters in this country
the above large sales seem likely to be equalled.
From a card which appears in another column
we learn that as guaranty that the Apolli-
naris water shipped to the United States
comes direct from the spring ali invoices sent
here bear the certificate Of the United States
consul.
