M AG N E STA

Superior to any English or American. A DIPLO- |
MA was awarded to this Magnesia, by the American
Institute in 1852.
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
as an aperient antic-acid in dyspepsia complaints
attended with aecidity with very great bensft It
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 as pleasing sedative and aperient, in all
OF irritation, acidity of the stomach feble
complaints, infantile disorders, or sea-sickness.
An ounce or two of this solution speedily re-
moves heartburn acrid eructations and sourness, or
irregular digestion,
The solution is of itself an aperient, but its axa
tive prC perties can be much augmented by taking
with it, or directly after H. little lemon juice,
mixed with sugar and water, or even with cream
of tartarI in this manner a very agreeable effer-
vescent 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 carbonic acid, have
Deen FOUND very valuable in putrid and other te-
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 subject from acids and eruditee of
he 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 MagnesiG:

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

very considerable tonic. 1t is beautiful medi-
cine for the bowel arrangement which so often af-
icts young children and for females of debilitated
and sour stomachs. particularly those enciente it
