Superior to any English or American. DIPLO-
MA was awarded to this Magnesia, by the American
Institute in 1882.
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
as an aperient antie acid in dyspepsia complaints
attended with aciditY with very great benefit. It
has the advantage over common Magnesia, in being
dissolved, and therefore not being liable 10
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 sedative and aperient, in all
cases OF irritation, or acidity OF the stomach febte
complaints, infantie disorders, or sea-sickness.
An ounce or two OF this solution speedily removes
heartburn, acrld erucaions and sourncss, or irreg
ular digestion
The solution is of itself an aperient, but its laxa-
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with it, directly after it, little lemon juice, mix
ed with sugar and water, with cream of tar
tar; i'll this manner very agreeable eferyescent
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 been
found very valuable in putrid and other fever. AS
lotion for the mOath, 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
rate persons subject from acids and crudites OF
the stomach and bowels.
