FLUID
N AG N E STA

Superior to any English or American. DIPLO-
MA was awarded to this Magnesia, by the American
Institute in 1852.
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
as an aperient ante 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 accu-
mulate In the bowels. 1t is decidedly superior to
Carbonate OF Soda or Potash, on account of Its
aperent quality.
This solution of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial as pleasing sedative and aperent In all
cases of irritation, acdty of the stomach, febte
complaints, infantile disorders, or sea-sickness
An ounce or two OF this solution speedily removes
heartburn acrd quotations and sourness, or irreg
nlaF digestion.
The solution is of itself aperient, but its laXa
| 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 eferyescent
draught can be safely taken at any time during
1 fever or thirst
The antisceptic qualities of this solution OWN i,
to the presence of so much carbonc 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
nhe attention of the public is particularly direct
ed to the following certificates of physicians and
other persons who have used the Magnesis:

FANNY MARsH's THEATRE.-Tonight will be
given grand complimentary and testimonial
benefit to Miss Fanny Marsh, at her beautiful
little theatre. Benefits as general thing are
preconcerted affairs, long array of names be-
ing printed of influential citizens who often
grant the use Of their names through courtesy,
without ever intending to visit the entertain
ment This benefit is the result of the sponta-
neous action of few gentlemen who fully APP
precisted Miss Marsh's great exertions, and
they waited upon her at her hotel and rendered
her the benefit. Without wishing to parade
their names before the public, they are doing
all in their power to make the benefit sue
cess and we heartily concur with the aid of the
columns of our journal, and with our good
wishes for the success of this energetic and &C
compllshed lady, who designs making our city
her home, and we trust she will have bump
er. Miss Marsh intends closing her theatre for
short time while Mr.. Fluent places it in more
thorough repair than could have been done be-
fore, as she was anxious to get open as soon as
possible. During the interval she will organize
an entire new company, and when once again
open, she promises that she will give perform
ances worthy of the patronage of the Portland
public 1t will be a gracious act for the thea
tre-going people of Portland to attend this eve
ming, and show by their presence that they are
disposed to encourage all worthy efforts to
maintain good theatre in this city. The bill
is very attractive one, and no visitor need fear
that he will undergo penance for his courtesy
