For more than a century, the world's elite flocked to the resort town of
Mt. Clemens, Michigan to soothe their bodies in the ancient healing
waters of the Michigan Basin. With 34 essential minerals, Mt. Clemens
seawater contains the highest mineral content of any body of water in
the world.
Although the glory days of "America's Bath City" are
long gone, today's spas and medical researchers are taking a second look
at the unique mineral complex of Mt. Clemens water.The story goes that in 1868 an old horse was put out to pasture to end
its days. The poor nag spent its time stomping in the mud and water near
some abandoned, leaky salt tanks. Soon the horse was no longer limping
and became thoroughly rejuvenated. Thus, they say, was the discovery of
the curative powers of the waters under Mt. Clemens.
News of the
miracle spread, and soon the rush to Mt. Clemens was underway.
Proponents of the baths proclaimed the treatment's miraculous power to
relieve the discomfort associated with skin problems, tired muscles and
joints, and a number of other ailments. Postcards of the times proudly
showed the infirm emerging from the baths free of pain.
The first
bath house opened in Mt. Clemens in 1873 and the industry grew
steadily, reaching its height of popularity in 1910-1911. USERS OF THIS WATER WERE AMONG OTHERS:
Henry Ford, auto pioneer

- Jerome Kern, songwriter
- Eddie Cantor, singer/songwriter
