Superior to any English or American. a DIPLo
MA was awarded to this Magnesia, by the American
Institute III 1852.
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
as aperient antic acid in dyspepsia complaints
attended with acidity with very great benefit. 1t
has the advantage over common Magnesia, in being
dissolved, and therefore not being liable to accn-
mulate in the bowels. II is decidedly superior 10
Carbonate of Soda or Potash, on account OF Its
aperient quality.
This solution of Magnesa is found particularly
beneficial as pleasing seda:ivc and aperient In all
cases OF irritation or acidlty OF the stomach, feDule
complaints, infantile disorders, or sea-sickness.
An ounce or two OF this solution speedily removes
heartburn acrid eructations and sourness or 1rreg
ular digestion.
The solution is of itself aperent, but It's laxa-
! 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; i'll this manner very agreeable efervescenl
| 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
lotion for the mouth, 1t sweetens the breath, anC
| the Magnesia cleans the teeth from tartar.
| The solution has almost invariably succeeded u
removing fits, spasms and headaches to which dell
cate persons are subject from acids and crudiues
| the stomach and bowels.
he attention of the public is particularly direct
ed To the following certificates of physicians anC
other persons who have used the Magnesia:

Mr.. o. S. rUNBAR,-Dear Sir: L am happy t
hear that your preparation of fluid Magnesia
coming into general use. While 1t is more econon
zeal than other preparations of Fluid Magnes!a
have found it vastly more efficient, and not ouy a
antiseptic and anti Ocid upon the stomach, but
very considerable tonic. 1t is a beautiful medicfn
for the bowel arrangement which so often affiict
young children, and for females of debilitated an
sour stomachs, particularly those enciente, 1t
invaluable. Being a scientific preparation an
open to the profession, it needs only an acqIain
ance to become with them a favorte medicine.
