Superior to any English or American. DIPIO
Ma was awarded to this Magnesla, by he American
Institute in 1852
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
as an aperient antic-acid in dyspepsia COMPLAINS
attended with aecidity 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 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
cases of irritation acidity of the stomach febtie
complaints, infantile disorders, or sea-sickness
An ounce or two of this solution speedily re-
moves heartburn aerid eructatons and sourness, or
irregular digestion,
The solution is Of itself an aperient hut its lsxa
tive PIT perties can be much augmented by taking
with 1t, or directly after IL, little lemon Juice
mixed with sugar and water, or even with cream
of tartafl in this manner very agreeable effer-
vescent draught can be safely taken at any time
during fever or thirst.
The antiseeptic qualities of this solution, owing
to the presence of so much carbonic 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
| tartar,
| The solution is 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.
The attention Of the public Is particularly direct
ed to the following certificates of ph ysicians and
other persons who have used the Magnesia:

PROVIDENCE, Nov. 6. 1S4S.
Mr.. s. o. DUNBAR-Dear Sir; am happy to
hear that your preparation of fluid Aagnesia is
coming into general use. While it is more eco
nomcal than other preparations of Fluid Magnesa,
/ have found it vastly more efficient and not only
an antseptic and anti-acid upon the stomach, but
| very considerable tonic. 1t is beautiful medi-
cine for the bowel arrangement which often af-
fiets young children and for females ofdebilitaed
and sour stomach, particularly those enciente it
is invaluable. Being scientific preparation and
open to the Profession, it needs only an acQuaEt-
ance TO become with them favoritc mediciue.

sia prepared by you and prefer it to the English
preparation on aceonnt of its cheapness and its
superior laxative qualities.
