I BEG to announce to my Customers and Friends, 1 have commenced Business of FILTEK-MAKING WILLIAM AND TANCRED STREETS. Now the hot weather is set in no one should be without a Filter, as the most emineut 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 beverages made from or cooked in it. THE ACME FILTER supplies the long wanted Filter for the Plains water races and tank water. It can be now supplied, charged with Charcoal, etc., or the Limestone Block. The latter is used all through 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. Every medical man advises the use of filtered water, and apart from the sanitary point of view, the luxury of clean, pure water is recognised by all. PATENTEE * MANUFACTURER, W. H.
