ped by the use of impure water, and
a1 water IS more o. less impure;
par tticularly 50 IS that which comes
from ordinary cisterns, and such,
and from rivers, creeks and lakes
where towns and cities generally get
their public supply. And these I'M
purities contain among others, more
or less dlaterious substances, germs
Of disease, and always the calcare-
ous particles from earthly salts, that
enter and become fixed in the skin,
among the tendons, muscles, joints
and along the channels Of life, the
blood vessels, veins and arteries.
Thus the skin becomes hard and
.shriveled -one Of the plainest evil
dences Of advancing age the mus
Giles become stifened, the teidons
|.unyielding and the joints lose their
suppleness. The deposites Of cal
careous matter along the blood yes
sells, impeding the circulation, max
ing them brittle in spots and promot-
ing LESSONS that cause apoplexy, par
.alysis and the like.
In short, impure water does more
harm in curtailing the youth, elas-
ITCHY and residence Of the human
body than all other causes combine.l,
it does the work insiduously, contin-
ually and surely.
The facts concerning Natures ice
water or to be more exact, the wat
er Of lce-mentioned at the outset Of
this writing, solves the inevitable
question: eBut how can water, alb
solutely pure, be obtained1"
'Bol the water" say the political
health board, through their political
organs. and some newspapers repeat
that, for the lack Of knowledge Of a
better way. And yet it is better to
boil the water and thus throw into
the circulation Of the blood billions
Of boiled germ carcasses than to run
the risk Of allowing the live micro
organisms to infect the intestinal
walls and other tissues. This in spite
Of the witty young lady's remark,
when told to drink boiled water, in
which the microbes and disease
germs had been killed, that she would

Mankind never realizes an import
ant necessary-that nature has not
provided without the use Of scien-
ti1c research and experiment, coupl
ed with ingenuity to achieve it. Tile
history Of ATTEMPT to purify water
in a simple way is long and inter
esting one. In it all are the thou
sand Of efforts, by way Of filters,
simple and complex, that inventive
genius has devised for the purpose
under consideration; subsiders and
decantation having previously been
found insufficient. Even the famous
Pastuer filter has not been an entire
success in this thing, the water thus
filtered having been found to contain
germs and earthly salts not altogeth.

But, Nature, the Master Achemist
simplifes the matter by the freezing
process described in the early par,
of this article, and has been doing
that ever since creation. However
it was very lately that Chemica
Science discovered and proclaimed
this fact, and the fact has a long
fight before it, yet, against ignor.
ance and prejudice.
Take it from the Home Health
Club, however, which is exceeding
good authority, and from Professor
John G. Sparkes, water expert fo1
the City Of New York, and other dis
hnguished and capable authorities
that the water Of ice as told above is
the Eureka Spring in all this.
