that every glass of hard water contains
a teaspoonful or more of minerals in solu-
ton. 1t is the presence Of these minerals
that makes the water hard All waters
are soft except those that carry lime.
In commenting on the effects of these
minerals on the human system, DR.. E.
Ellsworth Carey writes interestingly in
the May issue of Health Culture" as
follows:
THE life essentials are, in the order of
their Importance, air. water. food. There
is at present considerable discussion re-
eardlng the best kind of food. but con-
cerning air and water there can be no
discussion in my opinion Pure air and
pure water are essential to perfect health.
1t is with pure water that these few notes
will deal Pure water is seldom found
in nature; it is found in rain water. dew,
melted snow and fruit u.ces: but for gen.
eral use we must turn to distilled water
for the great life-giving fluid in its pris-
tine purity
'.The seeker after health who is not dis
posed to miss any points which may as
sist him. viii use nothing but distilled
water. Boiling water a long time may
kill deleterious germs, and filters viii
remove impurities offensive TO the eye;
but the real menace to health and longev-
ity is not germs nor particles of earth,
vegetation, etc The enemy to seek is
lime, salts of potash. iron. etc
"o1d age. decay and death, in the alb
sence of a specific disease. are caused
by the minerals in the drinking water
gradually being deposited in the system,
causing osifications and peuidcation-
Old age Is caused by the structural cells
of the body being gradually changed TO
a state where the mineral predominates
peaches a certain point. death ensues.
Literally. a very old person becomes
petrded."
Daily. monthly and yearly. unthinling
man takes into his system through water
oonsiderabI bic quantities OF earthly water
falls There is no demand for all these
Inorganic salts. and while portion IS
eliminated another portion remains, and
the system until she can make room for
no more BY this time the body is 50
clogged with mineral debris that the
human machine stops"
In confirmation Of the above, Or. Wood.
IN an article IL the "Sanitarum," states
that In the United States ten Thousand
persons are made sick of lingering bac-
terial diseases of which one thousand
a week finally die by reason of germ in
lection from drinking water: and yet in
the face of this terrible record he says:
while water laden with the germs of
disease cause the sudden deaths of thous-
ands the mineral elements contained in
the water We drink and in that which is
used in preparing our food. are far
MORE DISASTROUS TO HEALTH and
life. bat being slower in their action, are
consequently unrecognized and unthought
of"
In further confirmation from very
high source the Scientific American for
September 17th 1895 contains the follow
ing extract from a report of the Medical
Congress Of Brussels:
waters that are hard contain min
eral matter, form with the chyle an alb /
normal medium for hematosls formation
OF blood and they fatigue the kidneys. /
whose duty it IS 20 eliminate them un-
ceasingly, and they encrust the articula
tions
Which is simply the medical way of /
saving that hard water makes bad blood. /
causes many kinds of kidney troubles AMI /
brings on all sorts of diseases by choking |
che system with lime.
Then again: Dr. De Lacey Evans, a
noted and much quoted London surgeon. /
says that when hard water Is used THE /
bones become brittle. the joints and muc- /
cles become stiff and rheumatic, graver /
and stones form IN the bladder. the kid (
neys. liver. heart, nerves and brain be- /
come indurate and sluggish in their ac-
sion.'
We could quote many columns from /
The most eminent men in proof of our 4
oft repeated assertion that the lime in
hard water is the cause of most Of the +
diseases that people suffer from in hard
water districts. Most common among the 4
troubles caused by hard water are irdi- /
Eestioa. constipation. host of kidney and I
bladder troubles. gan stones stone in the 4
bladder, stone in the kidneys. rheuma-
tism, lumbago. saIlowuess loss Of flesh. /
loss OF appetite and premature old age. /
Crystal Water cures and prevents these /
troubles We guarantee it. The best re-
suits come from flushing the system with
eight or more large glasses daily and
when Crystal Water is used in this men
ner for any Of the above troubles and
does not give absolute satisfaction. we
accept no pay for It. If You or yours are
suffering with any of the above troubles.
why not try Crystal Water? 1t is the /
rational. safe. easy remedy. It quickly I
dissolves and removes the lime and 4
restoration to health is perfectly natural /
Hundreds Of the brainest and most
thoughtful people in Wichita use Crystal
Water constantly. We honestly believe /
It is to your interest TO join them. Cau
