A “pump room” at a mineral spring is a building/room where medicinal waters are pumped from the ground, where patrons can drink it. In the 18 & 19th Century, these spaces also served as elegant social gathering places for polite conversation & mingling.
As for the ailing, it was used to prevent spills with medicine administration.
