" MURRAY'S FLUID MAGNESIA.-The fol
lvl lowing official report Of its merits is founded
upon twenty years experience by DR.. Comns, In.
spector OF Army Hospitals, communi cated HE tc
discoverer, Sir James Murray:
. The Solution Of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial as pleasing sedative and aperien in ali
cases OF irritation or acidity Of the stomach parcu
larly during pregnancy, febrile complaints. infanle
disorders, or sea sickness.
An ounce or two Of the Solution speedily removes
heartburn, acid quotations, sourness or irregular
digestions Of females and children. .5
In the army and navy it has been found to com
pose the stomach in few minutes, after any excess
or hard drinking.
For preventing the evolution or deposition Of uric
acid, IN govt gravel, the efficacy of the dissolved
magnesia was long since authenticated BY Drs Nc.
Donnell and Richardson, and Sir James Murray.
The Solution is OF itself an agreeable aperent but
its laxative properties be much augmented BY
taking whit, or dire fly after it, little lemon
tartar team this manner very agreeable etferves-
cent draught can be safely taken at any time during
fever or thirst.
The ahtiseptic qualities Of this Solution, owing TO
the presence of so much carbonic acid, have been
found very valuable in putrid and other fevers AS
lotion for the mouth it sweetens the breath, and
the lnagnesa clears the teeth from tartar.
The Solution has almost invariably succeeded in
removing the fits, spasms, headaches and gastric
coughs 10 which delicate persons are subject from
