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 accidity with very great beneit 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
apefient quality.
This solution of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial as pleasing sedative and aperient in all
cases of irritation, acdty of the stomach febtie
complaints, infantile disorders, or sea-sckness
An ounce or two of this solution speedily re-
moves heartburn acrid eructaions and sourness, or
irregular digestion,
The solution is of itself an aperient but its laxa-
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with 1t, or directly after il, little lemon Juice,
mixed with sugar and water, even with cream
OF tartarI in this manner very agreeable effer-
Sescent draught can be safely taken at any time
during fever or thirst.
The antisceptic qualities of this solution, owing
10 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
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 are subject from acids and crudtee of
b e 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 Magnesi&:

very considerable tonic. 1t is beautiful medi-
cine for the bowel arrangement which SO often at
hicts young children, and orfemales ofdebilitated
