LUXURY AND HEALTH.-The Ameri-

want Of q perfectly pure and healthful
water for table use, have, during the past
year, had an opportunity Of getting the
same in the Apollinaris Natural Mineral
Water.
This water, which came introduced to
US by the leading physicians Of the Old

strong endorsement and commendation
Of u frat medical authorities, is alone
the article 10 supply the long.felt want.
The sale Of the water in this country Ia
already very large, and the steadily in.
creasing demands leads US to believe that
ere long il will reach the enormous fig
ures representing the sales in England,
where, last year, 100000 bottles were
sold. This water is not only a luxury at
the dinner table, but il recommended by
the medical faculty as q valuable aid to
digestion. We would advise such Of our
readers as have not used this water to
try II ut once. 1t is worthy Of the praise
bestowed upon it. Too much cannot be
said in It's favor.
