Hygeian

In the Hygeian school of Greek medicine, based on the teachings of Hippocrates, health was viewed as a natural state of the body.

The waters of these springs have long been justly celebrated for their medicinal and exhilarating qualities; and a vast number from all parts of the United States, and even from foreign countries, resort to them, either for health, or to join the gay and fashionable throng who hold an annual festival around these hygeian fountains.
