    I have one of these bottles and would be interested to know any more information about it if anyone knows.

      See the book, What the Victorians Threw Away, pp. 62-3. On p. 63 is an advert, listing the illnesses this product claimed to cure. It claimed to comprise evaporated salts from various European health spas, and was taken in teaspoonfuls dissolved in water, mostly for settling the stomach.

      I’ve only just noticed my bottle actually has KUOWOW’s powder. I wonder why it’s different & not KUTNOW as above.
      Anyone?
