1868009701Saratoga Springs to Clinton New York 1868. Envelope or Cover. Very good. This two-page handbill measures 6" x 9.75" and is illustrated with an image of the Congress and Columbian Springs in Saratoga Springs New York. An addendum identifying the "Discounts for 1869" is attached to the reverse. The handbill is enclosed in its original envelope sent by the Reverend Charles F. Dowd from Saratoga Springs to Professor Edward North of Hamilton College in Clinton New York. The envelope is franked with a black two-cent Jackson stamp Scott #73 that has been canceled with a fancy "P" carved cork handstamp. Both the handbill and envelope are in nice shape. The alleged benefits of Saratoga Springs naturally-carbonated mineral water can be traced by to the Mohawk and Iroquois tribes that are said to have drank and bathed in the waters for its supposed healing and curative powers. <br /> Early settlers were convinced and over time incredible claims about their power exploded in early America. They were said to cure kidney and liver disease rheumatism diabetes scrofula cancer malaria and "weakness of women" in addition to numerous other conditions and diseases. By the mid-1850s Saratoga was the pre-eminent vacation destination for the uber-wealthy including the Vanderbilts Whitneys J.P. Morgan Diamond Jim Brady and Lillian Russell. Soon thereafter resort proprietors expanded their operations to include bottling their waters for shipment especially within New York state. <br /> <br /> <p>This circular was produced in the early days of Saratoga water shipping by the suppliers Hotchkiss Sons who promise to deliver bottled water from the Empire Congress and Columbian Springs "safely and securely packed in boxes suitable for shipment to any part of the world." <br /> <br /> <p>Reverend Dowd and his wife were co-principals of Temple Grove Ladies Seminary now Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs. Dowd however is most famous for inventing the system of U.S. time zones that was eventually adopted world-wide to improve railroad scheduling. <br /> <br /> <p>Professor North served as the Professor of Greek and ancient languages at Hamilton College for over 58 years. He also served as the president of the New York State Teacher's Association and on the board of trustees for the Clinton Grammar School. <br /> <br /> <p>For more information see "Saratoga Mineral Springs Legend & History" at Saratoga.com CDC's "History of Drinking Water Treatment" "The Man Who Made Time Workable" from the Jul/Aug 2017 issue of Yale Alumni Magazine and "A Memoir of Edward North" from the 14 Oct 1905 issue of the New York Times all available online. unknown books
