and thus practically render the companies
largely Independent OF the open river in
times of flood. This water has, in fact,
been already filtered by nature, and there
fore passes through the filter beds of the
companies almost as a matter of form.
The question remains to be considered
whether the filtration, as carried out by the
companies, is effectual. Fortunately this
can be answered by two facts. In the first
place, the annual rate of mortality in Lon-
don is lower than that of towns supplied
with theoretically better class of water;
and, secondly, no epidemic in London has
ever, at any rate of late years. been traced
to the water supply. Both these facts may,
indeed, be strengthened. The mortality in
London from diseases which are commonly
thought to be communicable by contami-
mated water is exceptionally low, and is
apparently at least as low in those districts
which are supplied with filtered river water
as in those supplied with the unfltered
deep-weu water. excellent as it is, supplied
by the Kent Company. Again, although
some time since typhoid fever was epi-
demic as near the intake as Staines, there
was no appreciable effect on the rate of NOR
tality in London, either from general causes
or typhoid and kindred complaints

WONDERS.
-Four Which Are Most Ger
tainIy Amazing.
Something Which Has Set a Great
Many Tongues Talking
And Will Greatly Please and Particularly
Interest You.

Wonders will never cease. The writer
having had four of these wonders come
under his personal knowledge, deems them
OF enough importance to be placed before
the readers Of this paper.
So many people know David Noyes of
Manchester, N. Y, that his own words will
be strongest: II suffered from heart disease
for six years." he said, "and for the past
two years was unable TO do any work what
ever. 1 was told by my physician that
never could get we'll. 1 was also paralyzed
on the right side, from the hip down; and
suffered severely with lumbago, and
trembling of the hands. I am now taking
the seventh bottle of DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy, and feel entirely
cured of all these troubles, and feel like O
we'll man. 1t is theErandest medicine ever
made, and all my friends are amazed at the
cure"
The second wonder. Mr.. Michael Crowley,
of "a Laight street. New York City, will tell
in his own way: II was suffering from in
f1ammatory rheumatism and could not eat
or Sleep and DOCTORS prescriptions had no
effect to relieve me. After taking two bot
ties of DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, 1 can eat and sleep well,
and 1 think it has saved my life. am
getting better every day. One week ago 1
could not walk, now 1 can walk milo. 1t
is wonderful medicine"
The third wonder, 8. A Dysart, Of Norton
dale, N. B., will tell himself: "For the benefit
of those who may be suffering and fail to
find relief, 1 desire to state my case. For
over year suffered from a heart disease,
a constant pain, with severe attacks of pal
pttation, until anticipated sudden death
at any time. became weak and debilitated,
with loss of energy, dependency, etc.
Hearing DR.. Greene lecture. he 80 faithfully
described my condition that 1 determined
to try DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy. My Improvement has been con-
tinuous and rapid. 1 have taken flve bottles,
and the pain and palpitation are gone.
sleep we'll. have an excellent appetite and
feel we'll"
The fourth wonder is presented by Mrs.
F. G. Hicks, of 80 Avenue A, Wick Park,
Rochester, N. Y. She says: "1 give this tes-
timonial for the benefit of others. I had
given up all hope of being cured; had doc
tored and tried everything My trouble was
neuralgia of the stomach. DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy was
recommended to me. I took six bottles. 1t
perfectly cured me, and I earnestly recon-
mend it to ALL"
Now, when 1t is considered that this re-
markable medicine is purely vegetable and
harmless and for sale by all druggists at
81 90, it seems strange that SO many people
should unnecessarily suffer from the pains
and weakness of disease when this sure and
positive cure is within the reach of all.
1t is the discovery and prescription Of the
eminent physician. DR.. Greene, of 35 w. Hth
Street. New York, who is without doubt the
most successful specialist IN curing nervous
and chronic complaints. He can be con-
suited free personally or by letter.

county OF London, and is estimated to con-
tain population of {, 500, ,000 Rather more
than half the water supplied is taken from
the Thames, about 80 per cent is drawn
from the Lea, and the remainder from
springs and wells. 1t is evident that the
purity of the river water as delivered to its
consumers Is OF primary Importance, and
that any 1mpurity in the companies reser-
yolrs or mains may have verv serious in
fluence upon the health of London
From the River to the Tap.
1t may, therefore, be interesting to in
qulre how the river water is dealt with
from the time when it leaves its bed until
it reaches the consumers premises. All
the companies supplying river water,
whether from the Thames or Lea, have
subsldence reservoirs, into which the water
is first turned for the purpose of allowing
such OF the suspended solid matter as will
to settle, as well as filter beds, through
which the water must afterwards pass be-
fore entering the reservoirs supplying the
public; but the mode in which the filter
beds are constructed differs. Thus the depth
of the materials of which the fltering bed
is made up varies from total of feet at
the Chelsea waterworks to feet 6 inches at
the East London waterworks. The section
which we give shows the materials en-
ployed by tina Grand Junction Company at
the Kew Bridge waterworks. There is a
foot of coarse gravel, six inches of fine
hoggin, and three feet of sand. A good rate
OF percolation is four inches an hour, so
that it would take about nine hours for the
water to pass through a sand bed of this
depth.
The nature of the material used for filter
ing also varies slightly. Without going
into unnecessary detail, 1t may be sufficient
to say that a layer of fine sand, varying
from two feet to four and half feet in
depth, forms the surface in each case
Layers of shells, hoggin, coarse gravel, and
boulders or some of these materials, form
the lower strata of the filter bed; but it
seems to be universally agreed that the sur
face of the bed Is more important factor
than the lower layers
Renewing the Filter.
In the early days of the domestic filter it
was by no means an uncommon thing for
the filter to be retained in use without atten-
tion until it actually became so clogged with
impurities as to be unable to perform its
tunctions 1t may be so still in many house.
holds, for the public are astonishingly slow
to learn or adopt means of security
1t need scarcely be saiS that Q neglected

filter is of little use, and may even
communicate contamination. The water
companies, therefore, observe the flow
through the filter beds, and at frequent in
tervals, suggested by experience, cause the
surface of the sand to be removed tor
cleansing, and at longer intervals the whole
bed to be entirely renewed.
A very ingenious contrivance has been
patented by the engineers ofthe Grand
Junction Waterworks for the washing OF
sand from the filter beds, as we'll as all new
sand which is employed. We give sketch
which shows the machinery at work in re-
newine one of the largest filters at Kew
Bridge. The sand is thrown into an iron
hopper from wheelbarrowa A jet Of water
at high pressure drives it up pipe into .
second hopper.
Arrived there the heavier particles sink,
while the lighter, including the accumula-
tion of mud, run away in an overflow of
water This operation is gone through in
nine hoppers, when the sand is delivered
crisp and fresh into trolley, ready to be
spread upon the filter bed.
The companies together have 50 subsiding
reservoirs for unfiltered water, covering 480
acres, and possessing capacity of nearly
/, 3OO, ,OOO. 900 gallons, and 107 filter beds
covering nearly 10 acres.
A Partial SuDterranean supply.
1t is fact, moreover, not generally
known that at least three Of the Thames
water companies, either habitually or
occasionally, supplement their supply from
subterranean sources According to the
late Mr.. j. Thornhill Harrison, there is q
very large volume of water steadily flowing
as an underground river along the gravel
bed which overlies the London clay, and it
is apparently this underground river which
has been tapped The Importance of this
additional source of supply lies in the fact
that the water derived therefrom can be at
once turned into the filter bed without
passing through the subsidence reservoir,

and some on the south side. 1t cannot be
said that this state of affairs gave unlimited
satisfaction to the consumers. As early,
indeed, as the year 1927, a pamphlet en-
titled "The Dolphin" was published, in
which the state OF the water supply was
severely handled. No effective measures
for its improvement, however, were taken
until 1S47, when the Lambeth Company
made preparations to remove its source of
supply to Thames Ditton, course which
was subsequently followed by all the COM
panies. under the gentle pressure, in some
cases, of the water act of 1852
Early Efforts at Publication.
But the companies had already taken
some action for the publication of the
water; subsiding beds were provided so that
the fluid portion of the Fiver was alone
supplied to the consumers, and a system of
filtration even was adopted by the Chelsea
and some other companies. 1t is but fair
to add that the companies appear to have
recognized their responsibilities, in spite of
difficulties such as the opposition on aesthetic
grounds, some 10 or II wears since, to the
extension of the Chelsea Company's storage
reservoirs and filtering beds
The metropolis water act of 1852 marked
an era in the water supply of
London. After a few years OF grace,
to enable the companies to carry
out the necessary works, the taking Of
water for domestic use from the river below
Teddington Lock was prohibited, every
reservoir for the storage of water for do
mestic use was to be covered over if situate
within five miles of St. Paul's Cathedral.
all water supplied for domestic use was to
be effectually filtered, and provision was
made for a constant supply under certain
conditions. This act was amended and e1-
tended in 1871 by further act, winch it is
not necessary for present purposes to
notice.
Interesting, however, as the history of
the London water supply is. the point to
which most importance attaches at the
present juncture is the quality of the
water under existing circumstances The
supply for all purposes, including domestic
use, street-watering, sewer-fushing, fire
extinction, and trade, is now about 200, 0OO,-
600 of gallons day. The area of supply ex-
tends far beyond the boundaries OF the

PART OF THE SUPPLY sUBTERRANEAN

The two great safeguards for London
against cholera are good drainage and good
water supply, according to the Fall Nall
Basdqa, which describes the method by
which Thames and other water is made
drinkable before it is supplied to the con-
sumer.
For considerable period in the early
history of the companies supplying Thames
water to London no attempt was made at
filtration. The water in question was
drawn from the river at London Bridge, and
delivered in all its native impurity-in fact,
like the quality of mercy, unstraihed. The
London Bridge waterworks, which consisted
of distributing conduits connected with pom
derous wheels constructed under certain of
the arches of the bridge, after an existence of
more than two centuries, were removed in
the wear 1922 to make room for the new
bridge. But the Thames companies con-
tinued TO derive their supply of water from
the tidal portion of the river between
Southwark and Chelsea, some on the north

DR.. Charles Gatchell, of Chicago in his

known that the cholera microbe does not
flourish in acid solutions. it would be well to
slightly acidulate the drinking water This
may be done by adding to each glass Of
water half a teaspoonfuI Of Horsford's Acid
Phosphate. This will not only render the
water OF an acid reaction, but also render
boiled water more agreeable to the taste. It
may be sweetened if desired. The Acid
Phosphate taken as recommended, will also
tend to invfgorate the system and correct
debility. thus giving increased power Of re-
sistance to disease. 1t is the acid OF the sys-
tenn product of the gastric functions, and
hence will not create that disturbance liable
to follow the use of mineral acids"
