sósborszesz - rubbing alcohol (40%) / Szeged (city in Hungary)
Sósborszesz (note correct spelling) is nothing but rubbing alcohol. A major Hungarian brand is 'Diana'. (As a kid, I used to eat sugar cubes with a few drops of Sósborszesz on it, mmmm... :)
Szeged is a large city in Hungary, famous of many things, such as paprika, halászlé, the Dome, etc.
You probably have a label to translate, where this product (sósborszesz) was made in Szeged.

P.S. Apparently it is not a plant, mineral, or an herb.. ;)
