Amy....That is a interestring story.It seems that the virtues of Lithium have been around a long time.
I have heard of another story from long ago. It seems there was two rivers in southwest Texas that ran through a small town. Back then the town's folks retrieved their water from these two rivers. It was said that the rivers were crystal clear...However, on one side of town,the river that the folks retrieved their water,were easy going.polite,and very mellow in nature...But,the folks that drank from the other river,across town,were very rebellious,reckless,angry in their nature. It was discovered years later that there was a very high content of lithium carbonate (a salt) in the river that caused the folks to have the easy going,polite,and mellow personalities. Conversely,the other river had No lithium carbonate in it's waters.
So,Amy,the "lithia water" story in Harpers just my be true
Carry On,
