Battle Creek Sanitarium ad, Golfers Magazine March 1916. Kellogg's use of hydrotherapy was a more sophisticated development of the system that was utilized in the early 19th century by Vincent Priessnitz, which, when introduced to America, was essentially a "cold water cure," [22] although "as a tonic, cold water has no superior."
In 1906, W.K. Kellogg left the sanitarium to start his own company, then called the Battle Creek Tasted Corn Flake Company (later changed to the Kellogg Company). Despite established competition, Kellogg's company quickly became profitable. [3] In 1909, Kellogg moved into a house located at 2650 W. Van Buren Street.
