Now the hot weather is set in no one should be without a Filter, as the most eminent authorities on sanitary matters in Europe, America, and Australia have long since decided that death in its most appalling forms lurks in impure water or beveragee made from or cooked in it. THE ACME FILTER supplies the| long wanted Filter for the Plains water rapes and tank water. It can be now supplied, charged with Charcoal, etc., or the Limestone Block. The latter is used all throuph Australia in Hospitals, Asylums, Schools, Hotels, and Railway Stations, etc. It is easily cleaned and imparts to the water lime that is required for the body.
