Mr.. 0. S. pUNBAR,-Daar Sir: / am happy to
hear that your preparation of fluid Magnesia is
coming into general use. While 1t is more econom-
ical than other preparations of Fluid Magnes!a
haUe found it vastly more efficient, and not ouy an
antiseptic and anti ocid uDon the stomach but a
very considerable tonic. 1t is beautiful medicine
for the bowel arrangement which often affiicts
young children, and for females OF deblitated and
sour stomachs, particularly those encente, it is
invaluable Being scientific preparation and
open TO the profession, 1t needs only acquaint-
ance to become with them favorite medicine.
