APOLLINARIS NATURAL MINERAL WATER.

POLLINARIS WATER."It is, in

cur opinion, superior for table pur puaca to any other mineral water with which we are acquainted. It is strongly efforver cent, and forms an exceedingly pleasant and refreshing beverage, either alone or in combination with wine; and it is not, wa are informed by an eminent medical friend, liable to that charge which has been 40 frequently brought against soda and other watore-that they have a depressing effect upon the system. On the contrary, medionl testimony is unanimnons in favour of the high therapeutic qualities of Apolinaris Water."-Civil Service Review.

APOLLINARIS WATER IS CERTAINLY THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATER. It is softer and mors refreshing than its only rival Belizor Water (Nassau Seltzer Brunnen), and is more pleasant to the palate, Over all manufactured Acrated Watere it has an incomparable superiority..

APOLLINARIS WATER is, moreover, a water of great organic purity, another highly important desideratum, in which artificial Aerated Waters often dangerously fail. Its place seems, therefore, marked as the favoured boverago of the favoured cinases who can select their drinking water. Physicians will find it a valuable addition to their resources as a cool and refreshing drink, antacid, and useful in promoting digestion and gastric irritation, Such a water is the sworn enemy of gout, rhoum- atism, and their congeners."--London Medi- cal Record.

APOLLINARIS WATER, Dr. H MAKE WEBER, F.R.O.P., writes :-"Hav Ing largely used it during the last seven Fears, I have found it of great value as an article of diet in gouty dispositions, in little acld disthesis, in tendency to call stones, in some forms of catarrh of the bladder, and in chronie tatarch of the respiratory organs; in the latter, either 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.
