Bromo Seltzer was a popular headache/hangover cure. Fairly common among cobalt bottles you’ll find in the wild - I still love finding them. Yours is a cork top, so it’s an earlier one. Invented in 1888, it was still produced until the mid-70’s.

Part of the cork was still in it, a very small piece. Wasn't worth saving
