Superior to any English or American. A DIPIO-
MA was awarded to this Magnesla, by the American
Institute in lisa.
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
as an aperient antic-aeid in dyspepsia complaints
attended with accidity with very great benefit If
has the advantage over common Magnesia, in being
dissolved, and therefore not being liable to accu7
mulate in the bowels. 1t is decidedly superior TO
Carbonate OF Soda or Potash, account Of its
aperient quality.
This solution of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial as pleasing sedative and aperient in ali
OF irritation, acdty of the stomach fehtie
complaints, infantile disorders or sea-sicknese
An ounce or two OF this solution speedily re-
moves heartburn. acrid eructatons and sourness or
irregular digestion,
The solution is of itself an aperient but its lsxs
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with It, or directly after ii, little lemon luice
mixed with sugar and water, or even with cream
OF tartalI IN this manner very agreeable effer-
yescent draught can be safely taken at any time
during fever or thirst.
The antsceptic 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 q 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 subject from acids and crudites of
| 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:

| Mr.. S. o. DUNBAR,-Dear Sir; am happy to
hear that your preparation of fluid Magnesia is
coming into general While il is more eco
nomical than other preparation 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 medi-
cine for the bowel derangement which so often af-
fics young children, and for females of debitated
and sour stomach, particularly those enciente, it
/ is invaluable Being q scientific preparation and
open to the profession, it needs only an acquaI
ance to become with them favoritc mediciue.

time in the habit of prescribing the Fluid Magne-
STA prepared by you and prefer it to the English
preparation on account Of its cheapness and its
superior laxative qualities.
