APOLLINARIS NATURAL MINERAL WATER,
APOLLINARISATOR for table pur
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 pleasuri and refreshing beverage, either alone or in combination with wine; and it is not, we are informed by an eminent medionl friend, Hable to that obarge which has been so frequently brought against soda and other water 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"-Ciril Service Review.
APOLLINARIS WATER 15 CERTAINLY THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATER. It is softer and more refreshing than its only rival Seltzer Water (Nassau Seltzer Brunnen), and is more pleasant to the palato. Over all manufactured Aerated Waters it has an incomparable superiority.
APOLLINARIS WATER is, moreover, a water of great organic parity, another bighly important desideratum, in which artifical Aorated Waters often dangerously fail. Its p'ace seems, therefore, marked as the favoured beverage of the favoured olasses who can select their drinking water. Physicians will find it & valuable addition to their resources as a cool and refreshing drink, antacid, and useful in promoting ligention and gastrio irritation. Such water in the aworn enemy of goat, rheuni atiam, and their congeners."-London Medi cal Record,
APOLLINARIS WATER-D..." HER- HANN WEBER, F.R.C.P., writes :-"Har- ing largely used it during the last seven years, 3 have found it of great value as an article of diet in gouty dispositions, ja lithic acid diathesis, in tendency to gall. stones, in some forms of catarrh of the bladder, and in chronio catarrh of the respiratory organs; in the latter, either bested by itself or mixed with hot milk or whey. To many perrons the Apollinaris form an agreeable and useful addition to bitter waters, and a good reblole for some medisines."-Brit. Med. Jour,
