CITY WATER ANALYSIS.
What DIR. Abbott, of Philadelphia,
Found in Cubic Inch
of Water,

Monthly bacteriulogical examinations
OF samples Of city water are now made
by DIR. Charles E. Abbott, of the Bac.
teriologicaI Department of the University
OF Pennsylvania, for the Water Depart
ment.
The samples of water are taken each
month from faucets in different parts of
the city. This month the water was
taken from the pump well at the CITY
mills, and the analysis showed that in a
cubic inch of water there were GIG
bacteri;e. The bacteiim were, however
not OF a dangerous kind. but, of course,
were more Or less objectionable in large
numbers.
The water probably contained more
bacteriR for the reason that that pump
well had been cleaned out not long be-
fore the sample had been taken out and
Lad not been allowed to settle. Some
water may also probably have
gotten into the well. The filter bed is ton|

II may be a questi n whether the

to pnblicaliy recon nend any of the
various proprietary medicines which
food the market, yet as preventive
of suffering we feel 1t duty to say a
good word flor Chamberiain's Collie,
Cholera and DiarrhoeS remedy. We
have known and used this remedy in
our family for twenty years and have
always found it reliable. In many
cases dose of this remedy would save
hours of suffering while a physician
is awaited. We do not believe in de-
pending implicitly on any medicine
for a cure, but we do not believe that
if a bottle of Cham nberlain's Diarrhoe
remedy was kept on hand andminis
tered at the inception OF an attack
much suffering might be avoided snd
in very many cases the pre- sence of a
physician would not be required. At
least this has been our experience dur
