| Mr. o. S. DUNBAR-Dear Sir: | happy to
hear that your preparation of fluid Magnesia is
| coming into general use. While IT is more ecOnom-
ical than other preparations of Fluid Magnesta,
have found 1t vastly more efficient, and not only an
antseptic and anti octd upon the stomach, but
very considerable tonic. 1t is beautiful medicine
for the bowel arrangement which often atfiicts
young children, and for females of debiltated and
sour stomachs, particularly those enciente, 1t is
invaluable. Being a scientific preparation and
open to the profession, 1t needs only acquaint
ance to become with them favorite medicine.
