The Mark Lane express, agricultural journal &c . Brussels passed thefollowing resolution :— Waters that are hardor contain mineral matters form with the chylean abnormal medium for hematosis (formationof blood), and they fatigue the kidneys, whosoduty is to eliminate them unceasingly, andthey incrust the articulations. The powerful solvent properties of distilledwater are well known. As carbonate of limeexists in nearly all drinking water, the carefuldistillation eliminates this harmful element. Asa beverage, distilled water is rapidly absorbedinto the blood; it keeps soluble those saltsalready in the blood and facilitates their excre-tion, thus preventing their undue deposit. The daily use of distilled water is, after middlelife, one of the most important means of pre-venting secretions and the derangement ofhealth. Filtering water or boiling it are processeswhich are almost useless. Filters removenothing but sedimentary matter, and frequentlybecome so impregnated with germs that theyare a source of danger rather thun of purinci-. tion. The process of boiling may kill thegerms of a particular disease, yet, in reality, itrenders the water more impure than it wasbefore, because by the very death of these•germs, dead1 matter is allowed to remain inthe water, which it pollutes by The only practical method of obtaining abso-lutely pure water is by distillation. This haslong been agreed by the best difficulties have, however, stood in theway of the general adoption of this process for domestic purposes. Ordinary stills arelaboratory appliances, requiring skill to work,lhey are also costly, and a licence must DCpaid to Government to be allowed to use water can generally be bought in citiesfrom the chemists, but ;it ;i high price ;,s muchas Is. per gallon. The water so produced as flat and unpalatable a beverage asboiled water. Only an overpowering sense ofduty or fear will lead to its constant useIn the country
