Title: Autograph Letter Signed by Colorado Springs Doctor Thomas George Horn to the Lecture Manager Major James B. Pond, Regarding Pond's Ailments.
Description: Colorado Springs, Colorado, March 16th, 1898. 1898. - Over 100 words penned by Thomas George Horn on his 9-1/2 inch high by 6-1/8 inch wide "T.G. Horn, M.D." stationery. In his letter addressed to the American lecture manager Major James B. Pond, Horn is sure that the medicine "will correct the kidney trouble and also the prostetic [sic] trouble. The Rectal trouble will take time .. I can see no benefit to be derived from the analysis of the water. Stick closely to your medicine & local application to the rectum." He goes on to relate that his cold is somewhat better and mentions that they "enjoyed Mr. Crawford & his lecture very much." Signed "T.G. Horn" in the cramped space remaining along the bottom edge. Folded for mailing. Very good. 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. Very good .
