Superior to any English or American. A DIPL0-
MA was awarded to this Magnesia, by the American
Institute in 1852.
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
as an aperient antic acid In dyspepsia complaints
attended with aciditv with very great benefit. 1t
has the advantage over common Magnesia in being
dissolved, and therefore not being liable TO accu-
mulate in the bowels 1t is decidedly superior TO
Carbonate of Soda or Potash, ON account of its
aperient quality.
This solution of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial as pleasing seda:ve and aperient. in all
cases OF irritation, acidty of the stomach, febie
complaints, infantie disorders. or sea-slckness.
An ounce two OF this solution speedily removes
heartburn acrid quotations and sourness, or rreg
ular digestion
The solution is of itself an aperient, but its laxa-
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with it, or directly after it, little lemon juice, mix
ed with sugar and water or even with cream OF tar
tar; in this manner a very agreeable efervescent
draught can be safely taken at any time during
fever or thirst.
The antisceptic qualities of this so, ution OWN
to the presence of SO much carbonic acid have been
found very valuable in putrid and other fever. AS
lotion for the mouth, 1t sweetens the BREATH and
the Magnesia cleans the teeth from tartar.
The solution has almost invariably succeeded IN
removing fits, spasms and headaches to which deli
cate persons are subject from acids and crudites OF
the stomach and bowels.
he attention Of the public is particularly direct
ed to the following certificates of physicians and
other persons who have used the Magnesia; o

MIR. o. s. pUNBAR,-Daar Sir: | am happy tC
hear that your preparation of fluid Magnesia il
coming into general use. While 1t is more econom

have found it vastly more efficient, and not only al

very considerable tonic. 1t is beautiful medicine

young children, and for females of debilitated and
sour stomachs, particularly those encente, it il
invaluable. Being a scientific preparation anC
