W h e n I was a boy, roaming t k hills of West Virginia, i t was such a simple matter to quench my thirst by finding a spring of refreshing mountain water. When I go back now, finding a pure mountain spring i s not as easy. I can go back to the hills, but I cannot go back in time. You see, pollution has invaded the hills of West Virginia the same as i t has every other place on earth. Air and w,ater currents have :ricultural and chemspread toxic incjustrial, a? ical wastes. generated by our modern technb,- SvCI)I logical society, 1" on the globe. Even the Arctic and Antarctic ice caps are beginning to accumulate toxic wastes, so it is understandable that America's springs, lakes. rivers, wells and other sources of drinking water have not escaped this evergrowing invasion of pollutants. Scientists have proven over the ycars that water i s one of the most eiiicient solvents known to man. In fact, water dissolves, absorbs and carries with it something ot everything it touches. It is this property of being a universal solvent, that has allowed our drinking waterto become loaded with virtually every contaminant dumped into the environment. Today, raw water, even after treatment by our cities, is a toxic cb ' ' brew

So, w here can I , , . ..,,. ,.,, drink ,, "....A desperately needs today? Ironically, for the answer we must turn to a product of modern technology the water distiller, endorsed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as, "The only proven way of correcting drinking water pollution in the home". The distiller provides me with pure water now, just as the mountain stream served me in the past. It provides me with that most important substance of life and health - good, pure water. Now, you might 2sk, why i s pure water so essential to life and good health? The answer is, we are over 70%) water. Water, in pure form, is the common ingredient in our bodies, and is part of every cell. It is involved i n most, if not all, the chemical activities of life and is so imporlIant we could live only about ten days without it.

Pure Distilled Water Helps Keep M y Body Chemistry Regulated and Functioning Properly
Metabolic activities depend upon enzvmes. coenzymes, trace minerals and other substances which are present in minute quantities. Contaminants and toxic chemicals. introduced into ou r body t lirough ou r drinking water, can inter11 ere with n ormal metabolic actiivities and enzynnatic path!Nays. We (:an under! stand this " ?--.:A inter f e ~ c ha, u ~c ~ a c~ r nc wnorns w r cvgnsnuer that these vital elements may be present in quantities of a few thousand ions or molecules. whereas, just one swallow of water containing one part per million of a toxic chemical will contain six hundred quadrillin (600,000,000,000,000) toxic molucules.

There's no absolute med that drinking DISTILLED WATER WIII cure arthritis, heart disease. high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, or any of the other dozens of inlirmities that humans suffer. There's n o absolute proof that drinking DISTILLED WATER will remove kidney and gall stones, reduce cataracts or cure emphysema. But, there are hundreds of case histories o f people who have enjoyed success in alleviating or overcoming these health problems when they began drinking DISTILLED WATER exclusively. The preceeding are just a few reasons why I drink distilled water. I am not an evolutionist but I d o believe that man was created an ddaptable organism and that it takes a long tinic lor an organism to adapt to a changing mvironment. Man has been living o n earth for thou\ands o f years. During most of this time he has been adapted to a natural environment getting his water from unpolluted \prings.'~trcdms and shallow wells. This water hds ~PPII relatively pure containing only rrlo(lv~.~t<. amounts of naturally occuring sub$tdn(r r . Rut conditions have changed. Since t11~ ili<l~.trtrial revolution, and especially since Worl(l Wdr 11. we have dumped synthetic chcmic.~lsby the thousands intothe environment. We are not adapted to these-man-made chemic~ls. We know that many of them are toxic. We d o not know the effects these will have o n our bodies or the long range effects they will have o n the bodies of our children and the generations to come. Does i t not make sense, therefore, to consume only pvre water? , .
