Tarrant's Seltzer Aperient was sold as a bottle of white powder which when poured into cold water gave thirty to forty glasses of "foaming, sparkling Seltzer" to which "Headaches, Constipation, Indigestion and Dyspepsia yield at once." It was claimed to be superior to the German Seltzer Spa Water which became "stale, flat, and unprofitable" when shipped across the Atlantic.
