A magazines published in 1923 gives
the following method to improve water
for drinking: Let the water, wnen
boiled, be put into a common barrel
churn, where it may be agitated to any
degree that may be wished for. In
the course of its being thus agitated
it will absorb atmospheric air. and
other elastic fluids with which it may
come in contact. 1t will thus become
a liquor, safe, palatable and whole
some. to be obtained with little trou-
BILE and expense, and accessible in its
utmost perfection to the poorest in
dividual. Those who wish to drink
this wholesome beverage in its utmost
perfection should, after having it
boiled and filtered, cause it to be
churned as above directed, then bot
tied, with a couple of dried raisins in
each bottle; this will give it a sufti-
cient quantity of fixed air. II then
used it becomes truly delicious.
