The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1896-04-10

SuCn as lnuld, carry DIS d COlIi-
panion a medicine case with
such preparations as will ward
off sudden attacks of chills, or
malarial fevers
All this is very nice to have
in the house to use in an
emergency, but if the above
rules, and especially the ap.
pended seventh, are strictly
adhered to there will be less
occasion to resort to the medi-
cine case.
Six months ago Honolulu
as well as the islands we're 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 to
their DEGREES. They realized
their position and the Difficult
ties that would have to BIT
surmounted, namely; people
who would not pay attention
to their instructions, -delibe-
rately broke the tabus and last
and the most important Of all
the inadequate sewerage.
1t was thoroughly, demon
strated that persons contracted
the disease, if you can call ii
such, by coming in direct con-
tact with those affetted-that
the germs were in certain
vegetable and animal foods
that you ate and in the water
you drank.
In countries where frost is
unknown malarial fever germs
are constantly being generated
and it behooves people to be
exceptionally cautious Of theil
method of living, and of the
water that they drink as the
malarial .fever germs are IN the
Wdter.
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 Of
Health recommend that all
drinking water be boiled, but
we recommend you to boil and
filter it by using an IMPROVED
STONE FILTER.
You can boil it if you wish, but
the mere fact of boiling it does
not do away with the germs.
If the water is insufficiently
boiled the germs are not killed
they remain in the water and
pass into the body. The re-
suits Of drinking insuffciently
boiled, or even thoroughly
boiled water are too plain to
need any further comment.
Take the water that has been
boiled, hold it to the light and
you will see the sediment, bnt
let the same water pass through
an IMPROVED STONE FILTER, e1;.
anime 1t and you will find il
clear as crystal.
A filter that is built for what
it is intended, cannot half filter
the water, it either does the work
or something is radically wrong
in the construction. If the
latter is the case no matter
how many times the water
passes through the filter the
water will remain impure,
while if the filter is properly
constructed it does the work at
one hltering.
The IMPROVED STONE FILTERS
are easily cleaned, and never
become cracked or crazed by
change Of temperature Of the
water.
The fltering medium is
natural stone mined from the
earth and is unlike any other
stone in that it does not absorb
or become foul. Impurities
never penetrate it, but lies on
the surface and internally the
stone remains as pure and
white after years OF use as
when taken from the mine.
"Forewarned is forearmed"
the summer weather will soon
be here, do not wait until it is
upon you before purchasing
an IMPROVED STONE FILTER as
