APOLLINARIS NATURAL MINERAL WATER.

APOLLINARIS WATER." It is, in A our opinion, superior for table pur. poses to sny 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 Boda and other watera-that they have depressing effect upon the system. On the contrary, medical testimony is unanimous in favour of the high therapeutic qualities of Apolinarla Water."--Civil Service Review-

APOLLINARIS WATER IS 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 palate. Over all manufactured Aerated Waters it has an incomparable superiority.
