Standing water purifies itself to a much greater degree and in a shorter time. Pollution consists almost entirely of solid material in particles of various sizes. In quiet water these particles settle out carrying most of the germs with them. Running streams keep themselves constantly stirred up and any pollution they receive is carried for a long time.
It is not wise, therefore, to trust water that comes from a pretty spring or waterfall. The only safe principle is not to drink from country supplies at all, or, if this cannot be avoided, to do so only after the water has been boiled.
Lemon juice is not a cure for freckles. Tan and freckles are apparently caused by the effects of light rays and are located in the deep layers of the skin. For this reason they cannot be removed by anything so mild as lemon juice.
Freckle creams should be used with care, if at all. Those that are really effective contain ingredients that eat off enough skin to get down to the freckles. It goes without saying that such treatment can lead to dangerous complications.
