Mr. o. S. DUNBAR,-Dear Sir: | am happy to
hear that your preparation of fluid Magnesa Is
coming into general use. While It's more econom-
ical than other preparations of Fluid Magnes!a,
have found it vastly efficient, and not ouly an
antseptic and anti ocid upon the stomach, but a
very considerable tonic II is beautiful medicine
for the bowel arrangement which often afflicts
young children and for females of debilitated and
sour stomaehs particularly those enciente, 1t il
invaluable. Being a scientific preparation and
open to the profession, 1t needs only an acquaint
ance to become with them favorite medicine.
