The piece traces the origin of drinking fountains from 1857 in Liverpool to the formation of the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain Association in London in 1859 by Lord John Russell and Gurney. It notes a shift from neglect of public comfort to modern times when public servants prioritize citizens and civil societies praise this progress. It adds a light note about Post-Dr Thompson and a joke from Harper's Bazar.
