fession.
BY merely pouring water on teaspoon full Of
this aperient, a cooling and grateful efervescing
beverage is obtained resembling soda water to the
taste and impartng to the constitution all the bene
fits of the celebrated Seltzer waters of Germany.
Medical men of emnence commend in the high.

fections, dyspepsia Indigestion heartburn febrile
disorders govt, acidity of the stomach, &c, and al
the various complaints caused by the sudden
| changes of temperature usual in warm attitudes
has been so great that it has been highly recon.
mended, and has, in consequence, been generally
prescribed; and the most satisfactory results have
invariably followed. In a torpid state of the liver
its action upon the system has been SO beneficial
that its energies have been revived and its healthy
tone restored.
No preparation has ever been introduced to the
notice of the medical profession or public which has
given such universal satisfaction as Tarrant's Effer
