River Falls is fortunate in the pur-
ity and abundance of its water supply.
Clear, pure, cold water is not only a
great convenience and pleasure but
an assurance of the absence OF many
diseases. No filth disease-so called
that is caused by foul water has ever
originated in this place. Dlptheria,
typhoid fever and malaria have never
been epidemic here. What few cases
have ever been in town had their
cause some where else and the patients
we're brought here suffering with
them.
