THE  REPUTATION 
Which  the  celebrated  SELTZER  SPRING  of  Germany  has  maintained  during 
many  years,  for  the  therapeutic  value  of  its  waters,  is  a  fact  well  understood  by 
the  Medical  Profession.  The  testimony  of  large  numbers  receiving  benefit  from 
their  use  is  conclusive  proof  as  to  their  efficacy. 
SELTZER 
is  an  artificial  comDina^on  of  the  essential  elements  of  these  waters,  as  ascertained 
by  strict  chemical  analysis,  discarding  those  substances  which  are  inert,  and  retain- 
ing those  o^y  which  have  a  positive  therapeutic  value. 
These  waters  belong  to  that  class  known  as  ACIDULO- ALKALINE,  which 
owe  their  medicinal  virtues  to  the  Carbonic  Acid  and  to  the  Salines  in  combination. 
Hence  they  act  chiefly  on  the  digestive,  renal,  and  nervous  systems. 
AS  A  SALI  IE  CATHARTIC, 
we  especially  recommend  our  preparation  to  the  careful  consideration  of  physicians 
In  all  disordered  conditions  of  the  digestive  organs,  especially  when  connected  with 
hepatic  derangement ;  in  those  congested  states  of  the  alimentary  canal  and  appen- 
dages peculiar  to  warm  seasons  and  tropical  climates ;  in  the  various  forms  of 
Dyspepsia,  including  Constipation,  Acidity,  Pleartburn,  &c. ;  in  Uterine  disease,  con- 
nected with  an  inactivity  of  the  large  intestines ;  as  also  in  the  nausea  of  pregnancv ; 
in  febrile  conditions  ;  in  short,  in  all  t  ose  types  of  disease  where  Saline  Purgatives 
are  indicated,  we  have  no  hesitation  in  recommending  it  as  a  mild  yet  efficacious 
cathartic.  ^ 
»,i  AS  A  DIURETIC 
its  action  is  none  the  less  marked,  for,  in  diminished  doses  its  influence  is  trans- 
ferred to  the  renal  system.  Hence  in  Rheumatism,  Gout,  Dropsy,  and  Diseases  of 
the  Urinary  System,  the  SELTZER  APERIENT  can  be  relied  upon  to  correct  the 
acidity  of  the  urine,  and  promote  a  copious  renal  secretion. 
AS  A  PALATABLE  CATHARTIC, 
our  preparation  is  surpassed  by  no  other.  It  completely  removes  that  horror  and 
disgust  so  often  expressed  in  taking  saline  cathartics.  Instead  of  nauseating  a 
delicate  stomach,  it  is  cooling,  refreshing,  invigorating,  making  it  especially  desira- 
ble in  that  class  of  diseases  where  salines  are  administered  in  frequent  and  long- 
continued  doses.    It  is 
>  CONVENIENT  FOR  ADMINISTRATION. 
Being  in  a  pulverized  form,  it  only  requires  the  addition  of  water  to  create  at  once 
a  sparkling  and  refreshing  beverage.  ^ 
IT  HAS  STOOD  THE  TEST  OF  TIME 
successfully,  and  has  received  the  flattering  commendation  of  many  eminent  physi- 
cians who  have  proved  its  adaptability  to  the  diseases  for  which  it  *s  recommended 
above.
