On the contrary, medical testimcry is unanimons 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 more refreshing than only rival Seltzer Water (assau Solizes Belize and is more pleasant to the palate. Over all manufactured Aerated Waters it has an incomparable superiority.

APOLLINARIS WATER is, moreover, a water of great organie purity, another highly important desideratum, in which artificial Aerated Waters often dangerously fail. Its place seems, therefore, marked as the favoured beverage of the favoured classes 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 s water is the sworn enemy of gout, rheum. atism, and their congeners."-London Meds cal Record.
