Superior to any English or American. A DIPLO-
Ma was awarded to this Magnesia, by the American
Institute in 1852.
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
as an aperient antc acid 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-
mulate in the bowels. It is decidedly superior to
Carbonate of Soda or Potash, on account of its
aperient quality.
This solution of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial pleasing sedatiVe and aperient, in all
cases of irritation or acdity of the stomach febtile
complaints, infantile disorders, or sea-sickness.
An ounce or two OF this solution speedily removes
heartburn, acrid quotations and sourness, rreg
ular digestion.
The solution is Of itself an aperent but its Taxa
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with it, or directly after it, little lemon juice, mix
ed with sugar and water, or even with cream of tar
tar; in this manner very agreeable efferyescent
draught can be safely taken at any time during
fever or thirst.
The antisceptic qualities of this solution, OWN
to the presence of so 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 are subject from acids and crudies of
the stomach and bowels.
phe attention of the public is particularly direct
ed to the following certificates of physicians and
other persons who have used the Magnesia a; ,oeo
