There are Two Principles Involved In the
Use Of this Filter;

FIRST Filtration. e., the removal of all insol
uble matter from the water rendering it clean and
bright. In this the filter is practically perfect
SECOND Aeration--i e., allowing the air to be
brought into direct contact with the filtered water as
it will be observed there air-escapes such as all
other filters have. The compressed air in the water
pipes is filtered through the stone with the water
This operation tends to oxdze and aerate the filtered
water, giving new life and vigor to it. In all other
filters, scientists agree that filtered water has fiat
taste to it. Not in this one For these reasons. to-
gether with the perfect lock joint and easy method of
cleaning and taking apart and simplicity of construc-
ton, these Filters recommended for use in every
household; they have proved great SUCCESS in
Europe and the United States where thew are BEING
sold in great numbers
This lot which in the "Aoha" is the first
ever introduced here, and we ask all our friends to
come and see the most perfect Filter now in use

Is a Perfect Filter

The fltering blocks used in this filters are made
from the Natural Tripoli Stone, quarried from the
mines and turned on special machinery made for the
purpose.
This stone is the only Perfect Filtering Medium
Known Impurities penetrate the surface Its
pores are constructed by Nature, that while allow
ing the water to percoate rapidly through them all
Germs Microbes and impurities of every description
remain on the surface from which they can be easily
washed, the stone remaining white and pure
We GUARANTEE the inside of the SUCCESS"
blocks to be found pure and clean after years of con-
slant in the foulest it was the day it was
made
The Pasteur Germ Proof Filter Co. have adopted
Tripoli Stone, also the Dolton Filter Co. of Europe,
who the we-known orignators of the filter bust
ness in Europe We claim this sufficient proof of the
superiority of our Trpo Stone Germ Proof Filter
We have two kinds of the SUCCESS" The
Pressure Filter which is to be attached to the water
pipe, and the Gravity Filters, which work without
any pressure of water.
