| Text on front reads: "Private Bath Room, Ladies' Moor (Mud) Bath Dept., Moor (Mud) Baths, Waukesha, Wis." Text on reverse reads: "Moor (Mud) Baths, Waukesha, Wisconsin. 'America's Most Famous Moor (Mud) Bath Institution.' The Hotel and Bath House are all under one roof, thereby preventing exposure when taking baths. All buildings are strictly fireproof and modern. Every room has running hot and cold Mineral Spring Water, many are equipped with private toilets and some have private baths in connection. This popular Resort is operated on American plan with rate as low as is consistent with excellent service and cuisine. Our Tiled Moor (Mud) Bath Rooms are the most modern, scientific, sanitary, artistic and best ventilated in the world. The Weber patented Moor (Mud) Couch is used exclusively. A Beautiful Golf Course and Bridle Paths. For detailed information, write: John Weber, Jr., Manager, Waukesha, Wis., Telephone 31 and 463." Two women stand with a bin of heated mud next to a visitor in a Moor (Mud) Couch as part of a “regenerative” treatment. The Moor (Mud) Baths were located at The Grand View Health Resort which opened in 1911. |
