Review Of The Bath Fountain Hotel And Spa

THE HISTORY OF BATH.
Tradition widely held by local residents
ascribes the actual discovery of the springs
to a runaway slave, Jacob, who had been
suffering from bed ulcers on his legs. The
story goes that while hiding from his
master in the wilderness of the Sulphur
River gorge, Jacob accidentally came
across hot water gushing from a rock and
collecting in a pool below. Finding the
water much to his liking, he frequently
returned to the pool to soak his entire
body in it. After doing this for sometime,
he noticed that, much to his astonishment
and delight, his long-standing ulcers were
healed. Having been cured, the slave
braved the wrath of his master, Colonel
Stanton, and returned to him and reported
the discovery of the magical healing
properties of the water.

In 1699, Colonel Stanton sold the spring
and the adjoining 1,130 acres of land to the
Government for the sum of four hundred
(400) pounds. By early 1720's, the springs
were already in public use and were
attracting an increasing number of visitors
from all parts of the island who came to
make use of the curative properties of the
water. People of wealth began establishing
residences in and around Bath of St.
Thomas the Apostle and the town of Bath
sprang up at a site about half-a-mile to the
south of the springs.
The therapeutic value and
healing
properties of these waters are well known
and have been referred to by a number of
authors in the past. Since the establishment
of the baths thousands of people suffering
from gout, rheumatism, disorder of the
stomach, fever and various kinds of skin
diseases have derived tremendous benefit
from the waters. Research has shown that for
maximum benefits, the water should be
ingested and the body infused (soaked) in the
water for a period of approximately twenty
(20) minutes.
Bath village is built on the banks of the
Plantain Garden River, the only stream in
Jamaica, which runs from west to east and
is located in the interior of St. Thomas.
