GET PURE WATER.
HOW 1T CAN he HID.
TO AUoid Typhoid Feuer, 1t Is a
VitaI Necessitv

Pure air. pure soil and pure water have been
laid down as the desiderata for the abiding places
OF man Without the first two the last is unob-
tainaole No water which has passed through a
pointed atmosphere into polluted soil can reach
the spring" healthfu fluid however clear and
'parhhns It's appearance may be; the media through
winch 1t passes will thoroughly remove only the
IliSoiuoie impurities. This is recognized by the
Doaiu oi Health. which instructs that. "to avoid
'yphoid' AT present, well or spring water in
Brooklyn be drunk without first being boiled" And
further. that no spring water from elsewhere, how
ever pure. should be used unless bottled.
II there be spring waters that fall through an
atmosphere not charged with unconsumed carbon.
IN the shape Of smoke with the disease laden ex-
haIations of malarlaI swamps or with the noxious
1unes OF chemical works. upon a soil not con-
tamnated with animal excreta and which pass
through strata that will add-in a degree too mild

qualifying however; for. unless the requisite in
teigence and solicitude be exercised In caring for
the reservoir in which this grateful gift of Nature
ouphies up and IN conveying the latter uncontani-
mated TO the consumer. the water. originally pure
ana healthful will prove anything but safe. though
II may still retain its pleasing appearance and taste
In an article which appeared in the columns OF
The Tribune of December 90 1908. the state
ment was made that there waters furnished
to this city which Nature has put through her own
cleansing and purifying processes. and the pro-
pretors OF which have exhausted every resource OF
modern science and invention in furnishing it
clean, sweet and as uncontaminated as II comes
from Natures breast. a company located at Pine
Hill, in the Western Catskills. is shipping 10 this
city daily carload of absolutely pure spring
water. This water comes from a spring the
east side OF Belle Ayr Mountain. The flow is 4,s00
gallons minute. The unvarying temperature OF
the water is 42 degrees. proving the great depth
from which it comes" While the testimony of so
high authority as Professor Charles F. Chandler,
of Columbia College who, after analyzing it, said.
This water is extremely pure and entirely free
from contamination is a good and sufficient In
dorsement it is buttressed by the fact that. TO
mention the names of the medical men here who
and recommend this water would almost be TO

moment to be exposed to any communicating lnnu-

bottles and seal them securely.
This water is supplied by the Crystal Spring
Water Company to customers. direct from cars or
from its offices at No 2231 Broadway; its sale or
delivery is entrusted to druggists or grocers
or any other outsiders. Popular in offices, as IN

city hospitals and other institutions. The bottles
