beneficial pleasing sedatve and aperient, in all
cases of irritation, aedity of the stomach febtie
complaints, infantile disorders. or sea-sieknegs.
An ounce or two OF this solution speedily removes
heartburn, acrd eructations and sourness or irreg-

tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with it, directly after it. little lemon juice mix
