Title	Ohio White Sulphur Springs with Observations at the Ohio White Sulphur
Subject	Geography and Natural Resources Arts and Entertainment Science and Technology Presidents and Politics
Place	White Sulphur (Ohio) Delaware County (Ohio)
Description	Two medical doctors, J.J. Moorman and W.W. Dawson, wrote this 72-page, 5 by 8-inch (12.70 by 20.32 cm) promotional brochure about the Ohio White Sulphur Springs. The brochure announces the opening of the Ohio White Sulphur Springs in 1858, describes the amenities of the resort, and lists the health benefits of drinking and bathing in mineral-rich waters. A fold-out lithograph depicts the resort situated on the banks of the Scioto River, which could accommodate 600 guests. The source of the sulphurous water was an underground spring 160 feet below the surface. President Rutherford B. Hayes owned this copy of the brochure. He met his future wife Lucy Ware Webb at the spring, and described her in a letter to his mother as "a bright sunny hearted little girl not quite old enough to fall in love with--and so I didn't." Six years later, in 1852, Rutherford and Lucy were married.
