Well done ! Now I ask myself isn't it a primitive Hunady Janos? Both were bitters from Hungary.I don't know much of anything about translations, particularly Hungarian, but I did recall that Google will translate web pages. After fiddling around on the internet a bit I found the URL: translate.google.com
The left side of the translate page is the 'from' box. It has "Detect Language" and 3 common languages listed, but also a down-arrowhead and if you click that, it has about a hundred languages to select.
I selected Hungarian.
I put in: "keseru viz forras kocs". Google translated that as: "keseri viz hot spruce".
I didn't think that was very good or informative, so I experimented further by putting just parts of it in.
keseru = bitter
keseru viz = bitter water
forras = source
kocs = Quercus.
From my knowledge of trees, I know that Quercus is the genus name for oak trees (for example, Quercus alba = white oak).
So, I'm thinking that keseru viz forras kocs means something like bitter water from oak trees or perhaps just bitter water from trees.
Hunady J (Saxlener's) started producing in 1865. Al
