The fear expressed that Smyrna's
drinking water might contain some
elements which would induce rheuma-
tism has been set at nought by an an
alysis made by Dr. J. V. Shoemaker
of Philadelphia who declares that
while our drinking water is without
any particular medicinal properties,
''there is nothing harmful in it. The
analysis was brought about by Mr.. D..
E. Hoffecker who is under DIR. Shoe

Any fears that its use causes rheuma-
