A little more
nostalgia
Haven't done this in a while, but I've got about half an hour to kill, so why not?
I found this post card at the local antique mall:
What intrigued me was the refrence to Pluto Water. Pluto water, it turns out, was advertised in the late 1800s as a cure-all. You name the condition - Pluto Water could most likely cure it. By the 1930s it was avertised as a cure for constipation. Apparently Louis Armstrong was a big fan of the stuff.
The hotel still exists. They still play up the mineral waters, but not in language that would suggest any sort of a cure. The history page is kind of nifty.
So there ya go.
