Aqua Cura

Aqua Cura is a fake version of Aqua Pura in the Fallout 3 add-on Broken Steel.

It is produced by the ghoul Griffon by switching Aqua Pura with irradiated water to sell to the ghouls in Underworld. He would then sell the real Aqua Pura to people the Brotherhood of Steel won't give it to, such as the raiders and slavers, to increase his profits. It is essentially dirty water.

Griffon also tries to increase his profits on the water by telling the ghouls it has effects that will benefit them; this is true because radiation heals ghouls, but it also furthers their "ghoulification" and misrepresents the value of his product (which would otherwise be free).

Behind the scenes
Selling quack cures with Latin-sounding names and accompanied by a sense of showmanship was a hallmark of the "Patent Medicine" era in the US, as exemplified by the medicine show, common in the 19th-century before the passage of legislation banning them.
