Dollar for Hongkong, which it is under- stood that every one in the Colony, Native NATURAL MINERAL WATER,
as well as Foreign (the Shroffs alone ex- cepted) earnestly desires.
A POLLINARIS WATER" It is, la 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 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."-Civil Service Reviesc.
APOLLINARIS WATER IS CERTAINLY THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATER. It is softer and more refreshing than its only rival Seltzer Water (Nassau Soltzer Brunnen), and is more pleasant to the palate. Over all manufactured Aerated Waters it has an incomparable superiority.
"ATOLLINAHIS WATER is, moreover, a water of great organic purity, another highly important desideratam, in which artificial Aerated Waters often dangerously fail. Its place seems, therefore, marked 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 a water is the sworn enemy of gout, rheumn- stiam, and their congeners."-London Medi. cal Record.
