...California Institute of Technology, Physicist Alexander Goetz has worked out a chemical method for the National Research Council. His aim: to replace the salts in sea water (which prevent water from passing through the intestinal walls into the blood stream) with less harmful salts. The resulting liquid "cheats the palate and the kidneys," but will keep a man alive...
...Goetz's chemical kit, size of a cake of soap, weighs less than half a pound, will treat enough salt water to make two quarts of drinkable water - enough to last a careful man a week. The chemicals (secret) are simply mixed with sea water in any available container - a bucket, a boot or a helmet. When the muddy material settles, the clear liquid is treated with a second chemical swished around in a cloth like a tea bag, poured off, drunk...

Tracy of Caltech. Within a short while after lip contact, the rather decorative rim completely sterilizes itself...
