complaints, infantiIe disorders, or sea-sickness.
An ounce two of this solution speedily removes
heartburn acrid eructations and sourness or irreg
ular digestion.

tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with it, directly after it. little lemon juice, mix
cd with sugar and water or even with cream OF tar

found very valuable in putrid and other fever. AS
