THE EEXAL SPEEN'G WATER. 
[H. Gerhoid. Eleventh, street and Park road.] 
This water, which from its name one would suppose to be a spring 
water, is in fact derived from a well said to be 60 feet deep. The 
well is in a wooden shack about 15 feet from a bam. The interior 
of the well is brick hned and it is covered by some wooden planking. 
The bottling is done in an adjoining shack. The water is pumped 
into buckets, from which it is dipped out and poured into bottles 
through a tin funnel, being strained in the process through a piece 
of cloth to remove any coarse particles. The bottles are washed 
before filling in well water to which some soda is said to be added. 
Only new corks are said to be used for stoppering.
