Abstract
Postcard of the Fountain of Youth in St. Petersburg, Florida. "Because of its healing waters and proximity to the spot where Ponce de Leon sought the fabled stream which would restore the vigor of life, this shady flowing well on St. Petersburg's waterfront is known as the Fountain of Youth. The thousands of winter visitors who drink form the fountain testify to the beneficial effects of its mineral laden waters."
