POPULAR ERRORS ABOUT WATER.
Among the popular errors regarding ill-inking water is that which believes that an ordinary microscope will show countless animalcules in our drinking fluid. This is an utterly erroneous idea. Ordinary water contains no animalcules, but it may contain Tar more dangerous things in the shape of extremely minute disease germs, such as require the highest powers of our best microscopes to discern. These last aro our real enemies, because they aro capable of inflicting typhoid fever and other diseases upon us. To remove disoaso germs from infected water was formerly an impossibility, because common filters possess no .such powers of preventing microbes from passing through them. Scienco has evolved the "Berkofcld" Filters, which have'been found to yield water absolutely free from all germ lifo. This power on tho ranted by Dr. Sims Woodhead, Dr. Anpart of tho "Berkefield" Filters is war.drew Wilson, and other eminent scientists. They have experimented with those Filters, and have fully tested thorn. The filters are mado suitablo for tho household, tho camp, the factory, and the ship. Full details will be sent frco on application to the Berkefcld Filter Co., Ltd., 121 Oxford Street, -London, AV., England.*
