Water constitutes the natural hcver-
age OF man, There IS not another
LIQUID which can permanently be sub
stituted for water without interfering,
In some degree, with the normal phvAi-
illogical functions OF the body, It ~
lust as Indispensable Tor the perfect
performance OF the human sewerage
system as the same Is FOR the sutis-
factory action Of city sewers, Whom
water is judiclously used the kidneys
lungs, bowels, liver and skin become
nctive, and delcterious and oNcrementl-
ticus matter are dWeharged throuBn
their respective avenues, ns they should
be, and thus man IL freed from 'he
PRINCIPAL sources OF disease
Now. II Is well understood that clear
water, savorless and colorlcas though
il be. threatens us with tho worst Of
dangers, and the more to be dreaded,
as they are hidden and can escape our
best attention We must then have re-
course for our daily wants TO PER-
manent uystem VI self-protection,w which
will set our minds nt rest and Keep
away from us all those enemies which
may invade our organism and finally
destroy our life.
In times Of epidemlcs people are US
uniiy advised TO drink natural mineral
waters, but these ure very expensive,
besides. many people cannot easily DE-
gest them And IL is a known fact
that many mineral Mators owe thelr
names OF natural waters TO the mere
fancy Of dealers, who ganerally mix
them 10 up with ordinary waters, or
simply manufacture them with H.
There IL no doubt that water could
be boiled before hoing used Tor drink
ing purposes. But boiled water " not
chemically composed like ordinary wa
ter. Some Of It's component parts, IKE
| carbonate OF lime, are precipita'ed, ana
some on its gases are set free In sThe

subiected TO, II nevertheless keeps an

HE. Some salts OF which IL Is deprived
would be missed by our system, wflch
draws many Of its Elements
from drinkable water. therefore, the
constant use nf boiled water Is bound
tocomc dangerous.
