Vintage St. Pete: The Fountain of Youth

They came, it was said, to sip, gulp and guzzle the foul-smelling water as it trickled from the primitive spigots. For three-quarters of a century, St. Petersburg’s downtown Fountain of Youth produced what some claimed was a magical elixir that all but cured the infirmities of the aged – the lame could walk, the nearly-blind saw clearly, those without energy were suddenly filled with youthful vigor (or “pep,” in the parlance of the times).

“I have been drinking it for two or three months, been carrying it half a mile or more every day. Haven’t got anything else to do, so come down to the well every day for a jugful or two, it helps my kidney, and I believe it has helped my rheumatism.”
