A few days & ! saw in the Journal
DR.. Furguson's test for impurities in
water. /. for curiosity or some other
reason. concluded to apply the test to
well. 1t is blasted out OF the
solid limestone rock near Flatrock ri.er, in
Shelby county. and is twenty-five feet deep
and thirty-five or thirty-six feet above the
river bed. There Is a drilled well some two
hundred feet away. getting its water at
about the same depth. I tested both wells
with the nitric acid and silver nitrate. as
water IN my well was made by the chem
icals as white as milk; the water OF the
other well was about one-half a. white,
AMI the river water was not affected at all.
Now for the facts In the case. Ny well.
which the test condemns so positively, has
been In use for over twenty years. My fam
lily in the twenty years has consisted of
from six to ten persons, with additions OF
workmen. fishermen. pleasure and health
seekers from all the surrounding TOWNSHIP

KY. and Columbus. 0.--sometimes running
up to twenty-five or thirty at a time. Ali.
from their experience in remaining a day
or two or weeks, pronounced the water

has ever been taken Ill, but. on the contrary,
If they were invalids they have been bene-
fitted. AS TO my own family. we have had
