'Endorsed by Uncle SamDistilled Water Used in the Uni-

Distilled water Is used for drinking pur->oses on practically all of Uncle Sam's bat-leshlps. Indeed, nearly ell the modernavles depend upon distilled watur for their

HnkliiK supply.Government officials state that the water

s most satisfactory, having a marked bene-lclal effect upon the health of the nun.

Here in Los Angeles, also, dlntllled water

s widely used —Purltas distilled water.And hundreds of physicians use Puritac

nd recommend It In their practice. Prao-Ically all the leading hospitals order Purl-as regularly.

Thin is the only logical course under the:ondltlons —for Purhas la the only reliablyure water obtainable hereabouts.Our city water contains considerable

mounts of minerals. These are entirely dis-olved In the water, and cannot be removedran It by any mechanical device, suoh asalters, etc. So are most other naturalwaters In Southern California highly miner-alized. The nalts are entirely dissolved Inthe water—and only by changing Its nature—turning It into steam —can pure water b«obtained.

| I'ructically speaking this Is exactly theprocess through which Purltas Is put. Indistillation the imfpure parts of the waterare left as BoMds In the boiler. The* steam—which Is the pure part of the water—Is

L>nsed into water again.,' Puritaa Ih tvlce distilled —two distillationsft necessary to Insure its purity. It isVrateu with pure osone, secured by passingjlcurrent of electricity through filtered air.
