    Description

    The Hunyadi Janos Bitterquelle was made by the
    Andreas Saxlehner Mineral Spring Water Company
    of
    Budapest, Hungary
    . Saxlehner was bornin Pest in 1815 and died in the unified city of Budapest in 1889.
    It was very popular as an “aperient,” (laxative) and claimed it was for “organic diseases resulting from a fatty degeneration,” for the organs of “respiration and circulation,” for “the evil consequences of indiscretion in diet,” and it helped to relieve hemorrhoids.
    The brand was named after
    Hunyadi Janos
    (John Hunyadi) (1407-1456), the 15th-century Hungarian military hero and the label includes a picture of a war hero.
    The 24oz, dark green bottle is 9” tall, with a partial label and the base is embossed HUNYADI JANOS in the center and is encircled by
    SAXLEHNER BITTERQUELLE. It is free of cracks or chips. Nice bottle!
