| Summary: | This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 1st edition, 1981, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 20: The Auburn Water-Cure apparently held out hope to the sufferers of many illnesses in pre-Civil War days. The hospital was at Gay Street and Glenn Avenue, conveniently near the depot. The same 1853 issue of the Auburn Gazette also advertised the merit of Eureka, or German Elixir, prepared and sold at one dollar a bottle by local pharmacist W. R. Jones. Seven citizens, including the president of the Auburn Masonic Female College, offered testimonials for the multipurpose medicine. Photo source: Auburn University Archives.
