Superior to any English or American. ADIPLO |
MA was awarded TO this Magnesia, by the American
Institute in 1852.
The very useful and elegant preparation is used |
as an aperient antc acid III dyspepsia complaints |
attended with acldity 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 10
Carbonate of Soda or Potash, on account of its
aperient quality.
This solution of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial as pleasing sedative and aperient in all
cases OF irritation, or acidty OF the stomach feDnle
complaints, infantie disorders, or sea-sickness.
An ounce or two OF this solution speedily removes
heartburn, aerid eructaons and sourness, or lrreg
ular digestion.
The solution is of itself an aperent, but it's Taxa
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with it, 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 ehervescent
draught can be safely taken at any time during
| fever or thirst
The antisceptc qualities of this solution, OWN
to the presence of so much carbonic acid have been
| found very valuable in putrid and other fever As
lotion for the mouth, IT sweetens the breath, and
| the Malnesa cleans the teeth from tartar.
| The solution has almost invariably succeeded in
removing fits, spasms and headaches to which deli
