WATER 4cUREs" OLD BELIEF
In Both Ancient and Modern 0ays
Fountains Have Been Considered
Pools Of Healing.

When you drink mineral water do
you do 1t because you believe In its
curative properties or because you are
superstitiOus? Or bothI
Extraordinary virtue has been at
tributed to the waters OF pools and
streams by nearly all peoples Of all
times. Among the modern Greeks to-
day we find the remnants Of the old
BELIEF that the water from the GrOttO
OF Macedonia would cure all those
who drank If they entered the cave
with lamp or torch in one hand and
a pitcher In the other, filled the pitch
er and left some scrap OF clothing be-
hind, going silently and not turning
back from "being scared by the noises
that ensued." And not only IN Greece,
but in England, there are many spots
where the bushes around certain
pool viii be hung thick with shreds Of
clothing left by those who came to be
cured.
According to modern Greeks the
mineral springs are under the protec-
tion of the Nereids, and the virtue OF
the water depends upon 1t being drunk
in silence and with appropriate sacri-
flee. Old Church of England canons
dating back to 1902 forbid the wor-
ship of wells without the bishops per-
mission, att'ibuting the custom to
heathenishness and a survival of the
worship of the fountain as symbol
OF the source of life. It was pointed
out then that the naming of wells was :,
as old as the days Of the Patriarchs
that Abraham and Isaac are both
spoken of in the Bible as having done
so, but that wOrshipplng them was a
different matter.
