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 aciditV 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
aperient quality.
This solution of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial as pleasing sedative and aperient in all
cases of irritation, aCdty of the stomach febtile
complaints, infanti!e disorders, sea-sickness.
An ounce ortwo OF this solution speedily removes
heartburn, acrd eructations and sourness, or irreg
ular digestion.
The solution is of itself an aperient but It's laxa-
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with it, or directly aftert little lemon juice, mix
cd with sugar and water or even with cream OF tar
| tar; in this manner very agreeable ehervescent
! draught can be safely taken at any time during
| fever or thirst
| The antisceptic qualities of this solution, OWN
to the presence of so 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 are subject from acids and crudies o1
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:
