Pronto Lax
Mineral Wells, Texas January, 2008


It was mineral waters that created the boom of Mineral Wells. I am not sure if it was the laxative qualities of the waters that were famous. I decided to convert this image to black and white in order to capture a sense of history.

Reminds me of Calistoga with the campy "health tonics". It's fun to see these in today's world. I love the decayed look of the bottle as it still remains today. I wonder what this stuff tastes like??
