The analysis and report speak for
themselves, and certainly to the think
ing person no further argument is
necessary to convince him OF the un-
fitness of Animas river water for do
mestic purposes and of the great supe-
riority of the Florida water over that

There is no question as to the ac-
curecy of the above analysis. Mr..
Larsh enjoys an established reputa-
tlon as a chemist second to none in
Colorado and the entire west. For
about five years he was head chemist
at the local smelter and his work there
and since has made his reports upon
matters of this kind to be regarded as
perfectly authentic and reliable.

river water prevails at this season of

The results given here are from
mineral standpoint. as well as the
organic, SO far as an analysis of this
nature shows the latter, are highly in
favor of the Florida river water. The
Animas water, as seen from these
figures, contoins over ITO per cent
more mineral and over 100 per cent
more organic matter than the Flori-
da water
The effect of these minerals upon
the human system is not for the an
aiyst to say. For these effects |
would refer you to any physician.
However, would call your attention
to the ratio of nitric acid and organic
matter in solution, as they are the
most important factors in determin-
ing the possibility of these waters.
In conclusion, would state that it
needs no scientific deduction to make
a choice of the two waters, as the
Florida is far superior in every re-
spect. Yours truly,
