Mr.. s. o. DUNBAR.-Dear Sir; am happy to
hear that your preparation of fluid Magnesia is
coming into general use While it is more eco

have found it vastly more efficient and not only
| an antiseptic and anti-acid upon the stomach but
very considerable tonic. 1t is a beautiful med
cine for the bowel arrangement which so often af-
fcts young children, and for females of debitated
and sour stomarh>, particularly those enciente, it
is invaluable, Being scientific preparation and
open to the profession, it needs only an acquart-
ance to become with them q favoritc mediciue.

Preparation on account Of its cheapness and its
superior laxative qualities.
