FLUID
MAGN E
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 an aperient antic acid in 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 accn-
muate in the bowels. 1t is decidedly superior TO
Carbonate of Soda or Potash, on account OF Its
aperient quality.
This solution of Macnesia is found particularly
beneficial pleasing sedative and aperient, in all
cases of irritation or acidity of the stomach, febtie
complaints, infantile disorders. or sea-sickness.
An ounce or two OF this solution speedily removes
heartburn, acrid eructations and sourness or lrreg
ulat digestion.
The solution is of itself an aperent but it's laxa-
tive properties can be much augmented by taxing
with 1T directly after it, little lemon juice mix
ed with sugar and water, even with cream OF tar
tar; i'll this manner very agreeable eneryescenl
draught can be safely taken at any time during
| fever or thirst
The antisceptic qualities of this solution, OWN
to the presence of much carbonic acid have beer
found very valuable in putrid and other fever. AS
a lotion for the mouth 1t sweetens the breath, and
the Magnesia cleans the teeth from tartar.
The solution has almost invariably succeeded II
| removing fits, spasms and headaches to which dell
