Superior to any English or American. A DIPLO-
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 beneht. 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 10
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
of irritation, acidity of the stomach febte
complaints, infantie disorders, or sea-stekness.
An ounce two OF this solution speedily removes
heartburn acrid eructations and sourness or irreg
ular digestion,
The solution is of itself an aperient, but its laxa
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with 1t, or directly after it, little lemon Juice mix
ed with sugar and water or even with cream OF tar
tar; in this manner q very agreeable eferyescent
draught can be safely taken at any time during
fever 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 ana
| the Magnesia cleans the teeth from tartar
The solution has almost invariably succeeded IN
removing fits, spasms and headaches to which dell,
persons subject from acids and crudites OF
| the stomach and bowels.
the attention OF the public is arIicularly direct
ed to the following certificates of physicians and
| other persons who have used the Magnesia:

| Mr.. o. S. nUNBAR,-Daar Sir: l am happy t
hear that your preparation of fluid Magnesia ]
coming into general use. While tits more ecOnom
ical than other preparations of Fluid Magnes!a,
have found it vastly more efficient, and not ouly a.
antiseptic and anti oeid upon the stomach, but
very considerable tonic. 1t is a beautiful mediein
for the bowel arrangement which so often afliet
young children. and for females of debilitated an
sour stomachs, particularly those enciente, 1t i
invaluable. Being a scientific preparation an
open 10 the profession. it needs only an acqua1n
| anee to become with them favorite medicine.
