“A Thousand Years _ Without a Bath ” The Middle Ages The Glorious Age of Chivalry Os Brave Knights and Fair Ladies Yes—also the Glorious (?) Age of Typhus, Plague and Sweating Sickness—products of the time when modern sanitary conveniences were unknown—when clothes were put on for a season, and strong' perfumes took the place of the Bath. The Glorious ( i) Middle Ages—when the drinking water came from the sewage laden spring or stream, or an indescribable well, and half the population of Europe was carried to death by successive scourges of dirt diseases, and the average span of Life was less than 25 years. These insanitary conditions were tolerated in spite of the fact ancient civilization had set a fine example by placing a high value on sanitation and had constructed public water works wlii<*k supplied an abundance of pure and wholesome water. Sanitary Science in Ancient Times / The Homans tunneled through hills and carried their water supply across valleys on high masonry arches. Their magnificent acqueducts, 19 in number, with a total length of 381 miles, were marvels of construction. Thirty million gallons of water were delivered daily into Rome from sources as far as 61 miles distant. The Historian Plinu (A.D . 70) Says: “Among the blessings conferred on Rome by the bounty of the gods is the water of the Marcia, the cleanest of all the waters of the world, distinguished for coolness and salubrity. The Baths of Rome—how magnificent! In the more pretentious private homes, 5 rooms were set aside for the hath. Many public bath establishments were built in Rome and throughout Italy. All towns and many villages had at least one public bathhouse. In the year 33 B. ('., King Agrippa opened 170 tree bath establishments in Rome. Every Roman took his daily bath. The remains of water works systems are found in Babylon, reaching back 5,000 years ago. from Assyria to Ceylon are found ruins of water works built in days long lost to history. Yet the Middle Ages permitted all of these great engineering feats to tall to ruin and sanitary engineering become a lost science. The people paid a fearful penalty tor their carelessness and utter disregard of sanitary measures. The grim specter of Death exacted a fearful toll. -Modern Sanitation Not until the 19th Century did Civilization awake to its responsibilities, and sanitation again come into being. Benjamn Franklin was the Father of the Philadelphia water supply, one of the first public water supplies in America. Other cities followed Philadelphia’s lead. The public authorities, slowly but surely, came to a realization of the value of sanitary measures. The modern bath was invented in 1850. 187fi saw the first filtration of water. Other scientific discoveries added to the country’s welfare. Typhoid. Yellow Fever and Malaria were gradually banished, and America proved the assertion that: “Public health is purchasable. Within natural limitations, any community can determine its own death rate.” Today in the United States, 31 years have been added to the average life by modern sanitary science, and of all the glorious gifts of modern times to man, none is so great as the City’s water supply—clean and health-giving tor the individual, an agent of cleansing for his home and community. 3 INDIANAPOLIS WATER S COMPANY
