BATTLE CREEK COLLEGE.

The College building is both AMPLE and ELEGANT, and the grounds are LARGE and BEAUTIFUL. The corps of Professors comprises Instructors in all the English branches, the Natural Sciences, and both Ancient and Modern Languages. One of the chief attractions of this Institution is the fact that it is

Conducted on Hygienic Principles.

The Professors are all hygienists, and inculcate hygienic truths in their daily instructions. The College has a full Charter from the State, and is empowered to confer Diplomas.

TERMS of TUITION are very reasonable. Good hygienic board can be obtained at very moderate rates.

IMPROVED WATER FILTER.

The accompanying cut is a representation of one of the greatest and most useful inventions of the age—Kedzie’s Improved Water Filter.

Its mechanism is so perfect that it accomplishes all that could be expected or desired of a filter to accomplish, and without the bestowal of more than the slightest amount of attention. It removes from water all those products of decay and disease which are the most prolific causes of sickness and death.

THOUSANDS USE THEM

And admire them, and all are ready to testify to their efficiency and utility. No family should be without one; for it is impossible to obtain from springs or wells water which is, in all respects, so free from injurious properties as is soft filtered water.

FOUNTAIN SYRINGE.

These syringes have become so popular through the general recognition of their excellencies, that they have almost entirely superseded all other styles for most purposes. The principal advantages which they offer over others are the following: 1. They are self-acting, no pumping being required; 2. They are valveless, and so simple in construction that they cannot get out of order; 3. They do not inject air, and thus do not endanger the patient; 4. By means of the sprinkler attachment, light shower baths can be administered. 5. Various other attachments adapt them to use for every part of the body. 6. The evenness of action with which they operate makes them superior to every other syringe.

No family should be without one of these syringes. They are used exclusively at the Health Institute.

=Prices.= No. 1, $2.50; No. 2, $3.00; No. 3, $3.50.
