Wish I would have taken pics of the waterfront, bottles everywhere! Lobey, thanks for your ideas on what that weird jar is. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on it. If not, maybe its just a good conversation piece. Thanks    Lisa (in reply to lobeycat) Post #: 11

In 1897, Indianapolis Mayor Thomas Taggart bought the land (French Lick Springs Hotel)  and rebuilt a luxurious hotel and spa. He bottled “Pluto Water” (named for the Greek god of the underworld) and distributed it nationally with the slogan, “When nature won’t, Pluto will.” Pluto water was said to have laxative qualities.
