Superior to any English or American. ADIPLO-
Ma was awarded to this Magnesia, by the American
Institute in 1859.
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
as an aperient anticaeid in dyspepsia complaints
attended with acidity with very great benefit. 1t
has the advantage over common Magnes1a, 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 sedatve and aDerient, In all
of irritation, or aeidity OF the stomach febe
complaints, infantie disorders, or sea-sickness.
An ounce or two of this solution speedily removes
heartburn aerid eructations and sourness, or rreg
ular digestion.
The solution is of itself an aperient but it's Taxa
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with it or directly after it, little lemon juice, mix
tar; in this manner a very agreeable effervescent
draught can be safely taken at any time during
fever or thirst.
The antisceptie 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 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.
he attention of the public is particularly direct
ed to the following certificates of physicians and
other persons who have used the Magnesia; o
