Celso (or Kelso?) water from the 1960's

I recall my father drinking bottles of Celso (or perhaps Kelso?) water in the 1960's for upset stomach. I believe it was a carbonated water (probably without flavor). I recall them coming in a 6 pack, and probably 12 ounce sized bottled. I recall the labels having a fair amount of yellow coloring. Been wondering lately what this stuff really was, who made it, for how long, and like that. I've been doing the usual on-line research and haven't found even a hint of its existence.2605:59C8:70F:BF10:D050:A8B6:C3DE:D2C8 (talk) 20:56, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bearing in mind that this is a global encyclopaedia, with Reference desk respondants from all over the World (I'm in the UK), can you confirm that you're talking about a USA product (as your IP suggests)? {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 51.198.55.125 (talk) 22:57, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds like you should try searching for one of the many seltzer waters. Modocc (talk) 01:54, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Might it be SELTZO, highly recommended by the medical faculty in cases of derangement of the digestive and respiratory organs?^[1] --Lambiam 08:44, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe that's water from the springs in Kelso, California? Observe, an old bottle of water from the "Kelso soda works" which also has the words Kelso Wash on it. That might however also mean Kelso, Washington. In fact yes: here's a couple of soda-related items from the Cowlitz County Historical Museum. Card Zero (talk) 14:49, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh. OK, I'll stop looking for bottles of Kelso soda with yellow labels now. Card Zero (talk) 15:12, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
