Superior to any English or American. A DIPLO-
Ma was awarded to this Magnesia, by the American
Institute in 1852. 1
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
as an aDerient antic-acid in dyspepsia complaints
attended with accidity 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 to
Carbonate of Soda or Potash, On account Of its
aperient quality.
This solution of Magnesia Is found particularly
beneficial pleasing sedative and aperient In all
of irritation, acdty of the stomach febtile
complaints, infantile disorders, or sea-sickness.
An ounce or two of this solution speedily re-
moves heartburn acrid quotations and sOurness,
irregular digestion,
The solution is Of itself an aperient but it's lsxa
tive pr perties can be much augmented by taking
with 1t, or directly after II, little lemon Juice,
mixed with sugar and water, or even with cream
of tartars in this manner very agreeable effer-
vescent 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 carbonic acid, have
been found very valuable in putrid and other fe-
YER As lotion for the mouth, it sweetens the
tartar,
The solution is almost invariably succeeded in
removing fits, spasms and headaches to which deli
cate persons are subject from acids and crudtee Of
he stomach and bowels.
The attention of the public Is particularly direct
ed to the following certificates of physicians aud
| 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 use. While it is more eco
nomica than other preparations of Fluid Magnesia,
have found it vastly efficient, and not only
| an antiseptic and anti-acd upOn the stomach, but
| a very considerable tonic. 1t is beautiful medj-
cine for the bowel arrangement which so often af-
ncts young children, and forfemales of debiitated
and sour stomach, particularly those enciente, it
! is Invaluable. Being a scientific preparation and
open to the profession, it needs only acquaEt-
ance to become with them fayoritc mediciue

| S. DUNBAR.-Dear sir: I have been some
time in the habit of prescribing the Fluid Magne-
sia prepared by you and prefer it to the English
preparation on account of its cheapness and its
superior laxative qualities.
