Superior to any English or American. ADIPLo.
MA was awarded to this Magnesia, by the American
Institute in 1852.
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
as an aperient antic acid in dyspepsia complaints
attended with aciditY with very great benefit. It
has the advantage over common Magnesia, in being
dissolved, and therefore not being liable to aeon
mulate in the bowels. 1t is decidedly superior TO
| Carbonate of Soda or Potash, on account of its
aperient quality.
This solution of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial as pleasing sedative and aperent in all
cases OF irritation, or acdty of the stomach febtie
complaints, infantile disorders, or sea-sickness
An ounce or two of this solution speedily removes
heartburn, acrid eructations and sourness irreg
| ular digestion.
The solution is of itself an aperient 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, even with cream of tar
tar; in this manner a 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 much carbonic acid have been
found very valuable in putrid and other fever. AS
lotion for the mouth 1t sweetens the breath, and
| the Magnesa cleans the teeth from tartar.
| The solution has almost invariably succeeded in
removing fits, spasms and headaches to which deli
cate persons subject from acids and crudies of
| the stomach and bowels
The attention Of the public is particularly direct
ed to the following certificates of physicians and
other persons who have used the Magnesia:
