Danger In Water Filters.
A most astounding revelation hasnnto
tq |l'.o.:g who have lx>en confidently trust-
»:v; to appliances for purifying their
drinking water. It seems that tho
ordinary filter, instead of rendering tho
water pure and safe, is actually tiio
means of producing just the opposite re-
sr!t. The Rhode Island Medical society,
through Dr. Swarts, sliows that soino
Piers v. hen first used do remove a pro-
p«'rti*in of disease germs. But after be-
i. g ju u^e only a few days there is a
parked increase In the number of ool
ogies of germs in the filtered ns com-
pure ! with the unfiltered water. Ic ouo
i.tctatico tlie unfiltered water showed tho
j reseqce of thirty-six colonies, while tho
t.’ti'iid contained the enormous number
i i 2.000. 0,000, 0,000, and even more.
'Hui; is, tlie (toison caught up by tho
filter I he first few days becomes tho
f .crcc of a vast multiplication of tho
cj igcroua element. So look to your
I r. cautions, and then be on your guard.
I." you cannot constantly cleanse your
ilints y.iu had better destroy them.—
