PURE WATER.
What DIR. Brinley Says About 1t.


Absolutely pure water is practically
myth. 1t exists only in the laboratory,
or the minds of inventive geniuses who
are searching for the impossible. If
absolute purity of water Is necessary to
the health OF community, i. is equally
necessary to have an absolutely pure
air. Under the best sanitary conditions
the water we drink and the air we
breathe is loaded with animal and vege-
table life microbe and bacillus-(the
latest plaything of modern scientists,
eXultant in their discoveries as the
child who first sees the noon sport
with festive JOY in the liquid we drink,
the food we eat and the air we breathe
and still we live! And why? Because
in each individual kindly nature is con-
stantiy at work protecting and cOntinu-
ing that life she has created. A man
in fair health has little to fear If the
water he drinks is not up to scientific
standard Of purity. In his own
economy he carries an apparatus more
etflcaciOuS than the most approved filter,
rejecting and destroying all impurity.
Relatively the purity or impurity of the
water he drinks is of little importance
to such person. But it is the man who
is not well. in whom the equilibrium of
a healthy physical condition is wanting,
who may dread impure water-and
dread with good reason-for to him
moderately good water may become the
agency of disease and death. The very
air he breathes, and without which he
Is undone, becomes q source of menace
to him.
The nervous sYstem-especially the
sympathetic nervous system, that hui
man storage battery of vital force,
without which none can be physically
perfect-ls the mysterious agent to
which we should constantly direct our
attention and be sure of its good work.
ing condition. If it is not, we may well
dread air, food or water, may even
apostrophiZe them as did Hamlet the
shade that crossed his vision.
BE thou a spirit of health. or goblin damn'd
Bring with thee airs from heaven, or blasts
from hell
And it is very easy to be sure that this
Important system is doing its proper
work. Nature at the first irregularity
hangs out danger signal, and keeps up
her efforts to call attention until the
trouble is remedied. The man who has
headache realizes what is meant bv
this. The simpler forms of derange-
ment will be remedied by the system
without outside help other than rest.
But there are other and more subtle
signs of weakness and arrangement
which are often overlooked, are miSun-
derStood on account of ignorance of
their significance. For instance, that
man or woman who does not sleep
s0undly, or he who wakes up morning
after morning feeling more tired than
when he retired, even though his sleep

after day an aching pain or weakness in

shoulders; he who finds his memory
tickle as shifting winds. or his emotions
often beyond his contrOl-the dyspeptic
whose feeble and enervated stomach is
constantly grumbllng and demanding
his attention-and all symptoms of a
like characterized that something is
wrong, and are being urged by nature
to recuperate-to do something to cor
rect the trouble.
To people in this condition, whose
nervous systems are impaired, come
disease germs, and in their weakened
system find an inviting home. All who
notice these danger signals should lose
no time i'll consulting a skillful physi-
clan, competent to correctly locate the
Irritating cause of all this trouble, and
quickly as possible to remove it. Then
all Will be well again, and no longer
will that person be annoyed as formerly.
There is probably no one in the CITY
better able to treat these and all other
forms of nervous disease than DR..
Brinly. His increasing practice has
necessitated more room than is available
at his present quarters, corner of Hen
nepin avenue and Fourth street, and
during the present month his offices will
be removed to 25l, 253 and 255 Nicollet
avenue; embracing the entire second
floor of two buildings.
New and improved apparatus will
enable him to give better service than
ever, and he looks forward to large in
crease in the number of remarkable
cures already accomplished by his treat
ment.
