doubtedly cautioned you
about drinking water from
wells and springs. 1t is like
ly that he also added a eau
ton about milk. Probably
he didn't say anthing about
ice. But there is nothing
truer than the fact that a
drink can be no purer than
the ice you put into it, and
while ice is ice, it is well
to be sure that the ice you
use is pure ice and clean ice.
