Mr.. S. o. DUNBAR,-Dear Sir; l am happy to
hear that your preparation of fluid Magnesia is
coming into general use. While it is more eco
nomical than other preparations of Fluid Magnesa,
have found it vastly more efficient and not only
an antiseptic and anti-acid upon the stomach, but
| very considerable tonic. IL is a beautiful med
| cine for the bowel arrangement which so often af-
nicts young children, and for females of debtated
and sour stomarhs, particularly those enciente it
| is invaluable Being a scientific preparation and
open to the profession, it needs only acquaiLt-
| ance to become with them favoritc mediciue.

preparation on account OF its cheapness and its
