Superior to any English or American. ADIPLO-
MA was awarded to this Magnesia, by the American
Institute in 1852.
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
as aperient anticacid 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 sedatve and aperent, in all
cases of irritation or acidity OF the stomach febtile
complaints, infantile disorders, or sea-sckness.
An ounce or two of this solution speedily removes
heartburn, acrid quotations and sourness, or irreg
ular digestion.
The solution is of itself an aperient, but its Iaxa-
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with it, or directly after it, little lemon juice, mix
tar; in this manner a very agreeable efferYescent
draught can be safely taken at any time during
fever or thirst.
The antisceptic qualities of this solution OWN Z
to the presence of 30 much carbonc 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 crudes OF
the stomach and bowels.
The attention of the public is particularly direct
ed to the following certificates of physicians and
other persons who have used the Magnesia:

Nh o. S. rUNBAR,-Dear Sir: !! am happy t.
hear that your preparation of fluid Magnesia il
coming into general use. While It's more ecOnom
ical than other preparations of Fluid Magnes!a,
have found it vastly efficient, and not ouly al
| antiseptic and anti ocid upon the stomach, but
very considerable tonic. 1t is beautiful medicine
| for the bowel arrangement which so often afiict
young children. and for females of debilitated
| sour stomachs, particularly those enciente, it i
| invaluable. Being scientific preparation ant
open to the profession, 1t needs only an acquaint
| ance to become with them favorte medicine.

ton on account Of its cheapness and its superio
| laxative qualities. Respectfully yours, sc.
