that it does not harm nor draw the

when the stomach is clear of food it

Not only is the drink of lemon water

Two or three slices Of lemon in a

Pure Water.
Pure water is composed Of two parts
hydrogen and one Of oxygen. If any,
thing else has crept into the water it
should be expelled. These proportions.

Rain water is pure, when in the
clouds, but in its descent to earth it is
liable to absorb, from the air through
which it passes, many impurities-soot,
dust, smoke, etc.
Snow water is also pure-where it
lies, but on its way from the fountain
head it may also gather impurities
The water Of mountain springs and
lakes, though sweet and sparkling and
free from organic matter, is largely
impregnated with mineral and earthly
salts, which are inimical to health:
and, for the same reason, water from
artesian wells is equally o5jectiona-

Where, then, shall we find pure wa

Raw water is an aquarium.
Boiled water is graveyard.
Mineral water is premature old age

Filtered water is gay deceiver.
Distilled water is purity
Let us look little further into this
matter. l am now speaking for the
great majority. AS for myself, never
consider the water I drink, because
can drink it without considering it.

Mineral waters are usually consid.
cred of great value for the proper
functionating of the bodily organs.
Modern physiology, however, has re-
peatedly shown that the inorganic
substances of mineral waters, such as
lime, iron, sodium, potassium, sulphur.
etc., cannot be assimilated: but fire.
