Puritas Prevents Impure Blood

Los Angeles. July 5, 1896.
Dear Friends:
One and all your attention I call
To a subject important to me:
'TiS not medicine so hateful to all
Neither warning against drinking tea.
But warning it is against drinking a
liquid
That's undistilled impure and bad;
And, in truth, to me the deed it seems
wicked,
Since "Puritas' may be had.
Fellow-men, have you tasted this Puritas
Water.
That is so beneficial to all?
For, my friend, it has cured the fever which
caught her.
And the NJ. ID. has lost his call.
"Aqua-pura" prevents impure blood and
disease.
And causes the skin to look clear:
Your i'll state of health and your doctor
bills cease

Puritas Should Win on Its Merits

men: AS a representative of large whole
sale house. dealing in mineral water, ETC.,
1 have daily occasion to note the expert
ence of citizens in the matter of beverages
and medicinal drinks. Every one who has
used PURITAS speaks in loud praises Of
it's merits, the medicinal men particularly,
who have spent years in the study of the
human anatomy and in the cure of diseas-
es, believe PURITAS to be perfection OF
water.
Any person investigating your appara-
tus for the publication of Water-as have
done-seeing the alkali and residuum ex-
tracted from natural water-which l saw
on my visit-will be convinced of the i'm
mense Importance of PUR1TAS to the
health of the community.
Living at restaurants, as I do, it is not
always possible to drink PURITAS, but
whenever / pass a tank of PURITAS I
avail myself of an opportunity of a-drink
on general principles of health.
You have overcome entirely the insipid-
ity common to ordinary distilled water and
produced a sparkling, delightful and re-
freshing beverage. At expositions PURI-
TAS should win the gold medal on it's mer-
its-favor and health-giving properties.
