About This Item
In 1899, Dr. Thomas George Horn (1832-1905) discovered a spring in Colorado Springs. The water was analyzed and found to be similar to springs in Virginia. These were found to have good results for urinary problems and dyspepsia. Horn advertised the water as a solvent for uric acid. He claimed it was a cure for kidney troubles and diabetes, sciatica, rheumatism, and gout. He opened the Colorado Springs Sanatarium in 1901 which he eventually sold to the Pikes Peak Mineral Water Co.
F. Marion Crawford, whose lecture Horn mentions, lectured in Colorado Springs on March 15th of that year. Pond was with him.
