APOLLINARIS WATER 18 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.

APOLLINABIS WATER is, moreover, a

water of great organic purity, another wisely 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 re18 drink, antacid, and useful in promoting digestion and gastric irritation.
