Much later I took a bath in a mud pond in the north of Scandinavia. When I stepped out of the muddy water I felt completely refreshed and began to think about the effect a little more closely. It suddenly crossed my mind that we apply clay-water compresses because they are better than simple water packs. And then there are mud baths and fango mud packs; these too are judged to be more effective than simple water packs. Then it dawned on me that the muddy, that is, dirty, water was not that bad after all; I realised that it can still have a therapeutic effect in spite of its uninviting appearance, provided, of course, that the muddiness is nothing but natural dirt accounted for by clay or some other kind of earth.

On a later visit to the southwest of the United States I came across a river that looked red, quite appropriately called Red River.
