All this is very nice to have

Six months ago Honolulu
as well as the islands were in
an intense state of excitement
by the announcement in the
daily papers that cholera had
appeared.
The Board of Health was in
a peculiar position as they had
to cope with a plague that they
we're not familiar with, and by
the people not having sufficient
confidence in them to listen tc
their DEGREES. They realized

In countries where frost is
unknown malarial fever germs
are constantly being generated
and it behooves people to te
exceptionally cautious of thei'
method of living, and of the
water that they drink as the
malarial teper germs are IN TIN

The heavy rains that we
have experienced in the last
few weeks have played havoc
with the water by making i
muddy and impure. The
physicians of the Board o
Health recommend that al
drinking water be boiled, bu
we recommend you to boil ane
filter it by using an IMPROVED
STONE FILTER.
You can boil it if you wish, Blu
the mere fact of boiling it doe
not do away with the germs
If the water is insufficient,
boiled the germs are not kille
they remain in the water an
pass into the body. The re
suits OF drinking insufficient
boiled, or even thorough
boiled water are too plain t
need any further comment.
Take the water that has bee
boiled, hold it to the light an
you will see the sediment, bI
let the same water pass throug

A filter that is built for wbs

latter is the case no matte

water will remain impure
while if the filter is properl
constructed it does the work q
