made by the Mecklenburg Mineral

All OF this water bottling and ale
manufacturing is superintendent by a
resident analytical chemist. who sees

is taken. and that all of the steriliz-
Ing and bottling Is done scientifically,
to the end that no possible impurity
can find its way either into the wa

Analysis OF these waters have been
