==The mineral waters==
The springs that percolate up in the Hyde Run at Brandywine Springs are known as "Chalybeate waters", meaning that they contain [[iron]]. Since the early 17th century, many have believed such mineral springs can have a restorative, medicinal effect on those who drink the waters. Indeed, one similar English spring's waters were said to have ''"Cured the colic, the melancholy, and the vapours; made the lean fat, the fat lean; killed the flat worms of the belly, loosened the clammy humours of the body and dried the overmoist brain, and besides these and many other benefits, warded off the Plague."''<ref name=Journal_Phys_Ed>Journal of physical education, ''[http://books.google.com/books?id=Vfc5AAAAMAAJ&q=%22the+colic,+the+melancholy,+and+the+vapours%22&dq=%22the+colic,+the+melancholy,+and+the+vapours%22&ei=8Y6BSpSQE4OSNprZzd0K page 71]'', Ling Physical Education Association, (v. 41-43; 1949)</ref>
