Hook Worms and Chills Elm
mated, Beats the Record.

L. P. Piercehas just completed
one of the finest artesian wells
in this part of the parish. The
we'll flows one hundred and fifty
gallons per minute with forty
feet surface and eighteen pounds
pressure.
The we'll was put down by the
contracting firm Keaton & Bis
hop and was under the direct
supervision Of Mr.. Kenneker of
New Orleans, manager for the
contractors. Mr.. Kenneker is
an expert well man, and guaren..
tees water in all cases.
Quite a number of wells have
been put down in this section of
the country of late, but Mr..
|Pierce's is in class alone. This
we'll was completed in five days
work. 1t is six hundred and
three feet deep.
Another peculiar and out of
the ordinary phase about the
water flowing from this we'll is
that it contains no sulphur. Mr..
Pierce has also had a bottle Of
Al
the water analized by an expert
chemist and it was found to be
absolutely pure containing no
malaria or other injurious in
gradients.
Mr.. Pierce is loud in his praise
OF the accomplishments of the
contractors within such a limited
time. He is also confident that
the hookworm and chills NAV as
well make their exit as this wat
er is panacea for such ailments.
This artesian we'll holds the
record for flow and also for be-
ing the most salubrious water
here.
