THOUSANDS VISIT THE MINERAL SPRINGS,

Here and abroad, and spend thousands of dollars in search for health,
when a few doses of

Tarrant's Seltzer Aperient

would accomplish the same results, at the cost of a few cents. Each
bottle contains from thirty to forty glasses of Sparkling Seltzer, which
makes it positively the cheapest, as well as the most efficacious
mineral water extant.

SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTS.
