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-aeid in dyspepsia complaints
attended with aciditV with very great benefit. 1t
has the advantage over common Magnesia, IN being
dissolved and therefore not being liable to accu-
muIate 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 seda:ye and aperient, in I'll
of irritation, acidity of the stomach feble
complaints, infantile disorders, or sea-siekness.
An ounce or two OF this solution speedily removes
heartburn acrid quotations and sourness or irreg-
ular digestion.
The solution is of itself an aperient but its laxa
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with II, or directly after it, little lemon juice, mix
ed with sugar and water even with cream OF tar
tar; i'll this manner very agreeable efferYsscent
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 mouth, 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.
cate persons subject from acids and crudites OF
the stomach and bowels.
The attention Of the public is particularly direct
ed TO the following certificates of physicians and

| Mr.. o. s. TUNBAR,-Dear Sir: am happy Il
hear that your preparation of fluid Magnesia il
coming into general use. While tits more ecOnom
ical than other preparations of Fluid Magnes!S,
have found it vastly more efficient, and not ouly al
antiseptic and anti ocid upon the stomach, but
very considerable tonic. 1t is beautiful medicine
| for the bowel arrangement which so often affiict
young children. and for females of debilitated
sour stomachs, particularly those enciente, it /
| invaluable. Being a scientific preparation snt
open to the profession, 1t needs only an acquaint
ance to become with them a fayorte medicine.
