salicylic acid in springs ?

Is it common to find salicylic acid in spring water ? I'm sure I've read about it somewhere but the more I think about it, the more I think I imagined it.
It may go some way to explain alleged healing properties if it does happen
Does anybody know ?

I've just found the article but it says that the spring in question contained amongst other compounds, silicic acid, not salicylic acid . My mistake sorry :-[
I looked it up and it seems that its being linked to prevention or treatment of alzheimers as it reduces the bodies ability to absorb aluminium and helps kidneys pass it out of the body.
Its apparently good for hair, skin and nails aswell.
