APOLLINARIS NATURAL MINERAL WATER.
POLLINARIS WATER" It is, in
our opinion, superior for table pur poses to any other mineral water with which we are acquainted. It is strongly efferves cent, and forms an exceedingly pleasant and refreshing beverage, either alone or in combination with wine; and it is not, we are informed by an eminent medical friend, liable to that charge which has been so frequently brought against soda and other waters-that they have a depressing effect upon the system. On the contrary, medical testimony is unanimous in favour of the high therapeutic qualities of Apolinaris Water-Civil Service Review.
APOLLINARIS WATER IS CERTAINLY THE QUEEN OF LABLE WATER. It is softer and more refreshing than ita only rival Boltzer Water (Nassau Seltzer Brunnen), and is more pleasant to the palate. Over all manufactured Aerated Waters it has an incomparable superiority.
"APOLLINAHIS WATER is, moreover, a water of great organic purity, anothor highly important desideratum, in which artificial Aerated Watere often dangerously fail. Its p'ace seems, therefore, marked as the favoured beverage of the favoured classes who can select their drinking water. Physicians will And it a valuable addition to their resources as a cool and refreshing drink, antacid, and useful in promoting digestion and gastric Irrliation. Such a water is the sworn enemy of goat, rheam. Atlett, and their congeners."- London Medi cal Record.
APOLLINARIS WATER. Dr. Haz MANK WEBER, FR.C.P., writes* Have Ing largely used it during the last seven. years, I have found it of great value as an article of diet in gouty dispositions, in Hitble acid diathesis, in tendercy to call stones, in aethe forms of catarrh of the bladder, and in shropio catarrh of the respiratory organs; in the latter, eltber. heated by itself or mixed with hot milk or whey. To many persons the Apollinaris forms an agreeable and useful addition to bitter waters, and a good vehicle for some medicines."-Brit. Med. Jour.
