Drinking Crazy Water in Mineral Wells Texas!! Camping Texas! S3E7

In this episode we visit the famous Mineral Wells! A city in Palo Pinto and Parker Counties in the U.S. state of Texas. The population was 14,820 at the 2020 census. The city is named for mineral wells in the area, which were highly popular in the early 1900s.
Legend has it that back in 1881, there was an old, crazy woman who would spend her days sitting next to the well, drinking the mineral water. People quickly noticed that this old lady’s “crazies” began to look more like everyone else’s “normzies.”
Thousands of people flocked to this magical well, christening it the “Crazy Well.” Among them: Ed Dismuke, whose doctor recently delivered the news that there was no remedy for his life-threatening stomach disease.
Facing a doctor prognosis of “no hope,” Mr. Dismuke began drinking the magical water from the “Crazy Well.” Before long, his stomach ailed no more. In 1904, his health restored, Mr. Dismuke founded the Famous Mineral Water Company.
