Superior to any English or American. DIPLO-
MA was awarded to this Magnesfa, by the American
Institute in 1852.
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
as an sDerient antic-acid in dyspepsia complaints
attended with aceidity with very great benefit II

dissolved, and therefore not being liable to accue

Carbonate of Soda or Potash, On account Of its
aperient quality. s
This solution Of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial as pleasing sedative and aperient in ali
of irritation, acidity stomach febtie
complaints, infantile disorders, or sea-sickness
An ounce or two of this solution speedily re-
moves heartburn. acrid eructatons and sourness or
irregular digestion, wssegraE
The solution is of tselfa an aperient, but its laxs
! tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with it, or directly after it, little lemon juice,
mixed with sugar and water, or even with cream
of tartafI in this manner very agreeable effer-
veEcent draught can be safely taken at any time
during fever or thirst.
The antisceptic qualities of this solution, owing
to the presence of so much earbonic acid, have
been found very valuable in putrid and other fe-
yer, As lotion for the mouth, it sweetens the
breath, and the Magnesia cleans the teeth from

Mr.. s. o. DUEBAR,-Dear Sir; am happy to
hear that your preparation of fluid Magnesa is
coming into general use. While 1t is more eco
nomica than other preparations Of Fluid Magnesia,
have found it vastly more efficient, and not only
an antiseptic and anti-acid upon the stomach but
a very considerable tonic. 1t is beautiful med
cine for the bowel arrangement which go often af-
hcts young children, and for females of debtated
and sour stomachs, particularly those enciente it
} is invaluable. Being a scientific preparation and
open to the profession, it needs only acquairt-
, ance to become with them a favorite medieiue.
