beneficial as pleasing seda:iye and aperient, in all
cases of irritation, acdty of the stomach, febtile
complaints, infantiie disorders or seasickness.
An ounce or two OF this solution speedily removes
heartburn acrd eruetations and sourness, or irreg-
ular digestion.
The solution is of itself an aperient but is laxa-
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with it, or directly after it. little lemon juice, mix
ed with eugar and water even with cream of tar
tar; in this manner very agreeable ehervescent

TO the presence of 30 much carbonc acid have been
found very valuable in putrid and other fever. As
lotion for the mouth. 1t sweetens the BREATH and

antiseptic and anti ocid upon the stomach, but
very considerable tonic. 1t is beautiful medicine
for the bowel arrangement which so often affcti
young children and for females of debilitated and
sour stomachs, particularly those enciente, it i,
invaluable. Being scientific preparation ant
open to the profession, 1t needs only an acquaint
