Healing at the Warm Springs in the Salt Lake Valley

“There is a warm stream that boils out of the earth about half a mile to the north of the city, and everyone who has bathed in it, until now, has been healed, whatever his illness. Frequently eight or nine persons are seen in it at the same time. Everyone who has been in it wants to go there again; the temperature of the water is 109 degrees Fahrenheit, and it has much sulphur in it. Two miles further to the north, there is a larger and hotter spring, 126 degrees... Like the “pool of Siloam” of old, these fountains heal all the sick, whatever their affliction. The climate is unusually temperate and healthful, in the enjoyment of which, together with the fountains, &c., we can truly say, that we have found a healthful and paradisiacal country. Oh, what a great blessing it is to those who are afflicted with rheumatism, cramps, scurvy, and every kind of disease: I believe that every kind will be healed here. — Prophwyd y Jubili (Prophet of the Jubilee), June, 1848 (English translation by Ronald D. Dennis)”
