In the ease of cities and forger towns winch are supplied from a single source—generally from a lake or river --it is contparatively an easy matter to asertaiu from time to tiros ,3i1e character of the supply. Any con- 4;itiona likely to alter its nature, of the inflow of sewage, the establishment of rauufacture?s, the decay of conduits etc , are matters of municipal import. mince, and are generally looked after., by the citizens or their representatives. le is quite otherwise in the case of Nil lige supplies, and the wells through - ant the farming districts, Each par- ticular supply has its own character and while one may, in general, safely. aeaumo that a farm well is a whole- some food supply, this is by no means absolutely true. Mrs. A. McGill, who reports to the akeief analyst, Prof. Macfarlane, on this subject, relates that he has known one me where typhoid fever broke out year after year in a farm house in Central Ontario. The house was com- paratively new ; large, well built and in every way nnexeuptionable. Ex- amination showed that it was built on tine site of an old house, which it had replaced, just as the old log stables and other outbuilding hadiong given place to very fine and commodious Ibuilding of mrdern plan. But the well which had supplied the original eettlers, and which 'was .situated be tweet the barns and the house, still continued to be the source of domestic supply. It had an iron force pump in place of the old oaken bucket, but was otherwise unchanged. Analysis show ed the water to be absolutely unfit for ase. The ground about the well bad :been in cultivation, or in use as door card, and stable yard, for 70 years, and was fairly saturated with nitrt:g *nous matter of animal origin. There can be no doubt that the debilitated =edition of the inmates of this house was due entirely to the use of a poison - ens water supply, And it is by no means to be believed that this is a sol- ia:ary, or even a rare instance of its 7 and. Of course, it is impossible that any- thing like a systematic and compre- iensive examination of all the wells in Rhe country should be undertaken by she Department of Inland Revenue, or ley any other department of the Gov- ernment. This is a duty which, must devolve primarily upon the particular owners and users affected. But the dander of using a polluted water sup - lay does not end with the immediate (onsumer.

To make up its bulk 1,300,000 bodies as large as the earth would be required When viewed through a telescope dark spots may often be seen upon the surface of the sun. If one of these spots be carefully uotieed, and observed. again after a few days, it will be found to have moved farther toward, the western side of the surf's disk, waters it finally disappears. After an interval it reappears on the easterp side, and arrives at the position where it was first notieed, in about twenty' five days, furnishing uswith proof that the sun rotates on its axis in that time. • POST OFFICE RETURNS.

Your Hernia is not held, and you are in a mare dangerous condition than you imagine. Now heed this Can. tion, 'ere it be too late ; Unless the Hernia is completely reduced within the internal ring (where nature placed it) and constantly held there, adhesion might ensue, resulting in strangulation of the parts, rendering you liable at any moment to a frightful death. An ill fitting truss, .from intense, unequal pressure on one side, causes a Double Rupture, induces Paralysis, weakens the Generative organization, causes general nervous; prostration, Kidney -Urinary troubles, constipation and kindred ailments.
