The 1850 census lists Agricola Favier, born 1802 in France, as a "Manuf. of mineral water".
I don't have access to many City directories before 1860, but I found Favier in
three of them (1843, 1846 & 1850).

This is from the 1843 directory. It says that Faviers mineral water has been recommended by many of the most eminent physicians in the district (I beleive that in 1843 it was still popular belief that carbonated drinks had curitive qualities). It also says his flavors included "Rasberry, Lemon, Strawberry, &c.". |
