Wait though! It may have had some of the same ingredients though, including belladonna!

There’s a Facebook post I found from nearly ten years ago that lists a few things.

up to 15% alcohol
sodium salicylate, which is what aspirin is derived from (hence the name)
Cascara (laxative herb)
a small amount of mydriatic alkaloids, probably from belladonna
Menthol
