Tarrant's Seltzer Aperient[inscribed]

Description:: On back of card: ...In nine cases out of ten the source of headache is not in the brain but in the stomach. Indigestion is the most frequent cause. The digestive organs being disordered, they derange the action of the liver, the bowels, the kidneys, and the nerves, and the whole secretive and excretive machinery being as it were thrown out of gear, the brain suffers...This delightful preparation is the best remedy for chronic and periodical headache at present known, and absolutely invaluable as stomachic and gentle cathartic. It quickens the circulation, cools the fevered brow, brings back lustre to the eye; and it is in fact a luxurious draft in which a hundred healthful elements are blended.
