Londonderry Lithia

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Londonderry Lithia is a historic brand of mineral water that was bottled and sold in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The water was sourced from a natural spring in Londonderry, New Hampshire, United States, which was known for its high lithia content.

History[edit | edit source]

The Londonderry Lithia Spring Water Company was established in 1894 by the brothers John and James Patterson. The company bottled and sold the water, marketing it as a healthful beverage due to its high lithia content. Lithia water was popular during this period for its supposed health benefits, including the treatment of gout and kidney stones.

The company operated until the 1920s, when the popularity of lithia water began to decline. The spring from which the water was sourced is still in existence today, although it is no longer used for commercial purposes.
