MEDICAL TESTIMONIALS IN FAVOUR. OF

[From the 'Edinburgh Literary Gazette.']

'Aperients.— We have been in the

frequent habit, when occasion required, of

using a variety of aperients ; but for the

most part we have found them incapable

oi producing the effects which it was our

object to obtain. Among the most effective

preparations of this kind we certainly rank

' Moxon's Effervescent Maguesian Ape

rient,' which, while it affords a grateful

and pleasant feeling to the palate, in every

case where we have tried it, has produced

tbe most salutary results. As a medicine we

have found it to be highly useful ; and as a

pleasant drink, carrying along with it a

medicinal power, we cau safely recommend

it to the public. Our opinion is founded

upon a practical use of it lor a considerable

length of time, when it never failed to

produce the desired effect.'

' Sir, — I feel great pleasure in adding

my testimony to the value of your Effer

vescent Magneeian Aperient. 1 can assure

you it is quite a favourite medicine in my

family, and I have no hesitation in recom

mending it generally, as a mild and

efficacious Aperient in Bilious affections,

&c. &c., and am of opinion it must be

approved wherever it is introduced.

' Sir,— I am assured from what I know

of your Maguesian ' effervescent,' that it

will prove of much service in Gout; and

also in all disorders which have their seat

iu tile di- gestive organs. Gout is in eveiy

case a local disorder, depending upon cou

stitutional indisposition, that is, upon

derangement of what physicians call the

primes via, in other words the stomach

und intestines ; and most certainly whatever

medicine tends to keep those organs clear

of improper accumulation, must improve

the secretions, (which your medicine joes,)

and will have great and sometimes sur

prising effect iu the relief and cure of

gout. I am, therefore, fully persuaded that

your * ISIagneBian ILnervesceul,' Is licit ouly

a much safer, but also a much more

effectual remedy in that disorder than

Wilson's or Reynold's Tincture, Meadow

Saffron, or any other medicine of that

class. Your powder, indeed, may not

always afford such speedy relief from

pain, under an attack of gout, as tbe pre

parations just named, but its good effects

nil! be more lasting, and ultimately more

salutary. T. J, Grauah, M.D.

prietors have valuable certificates Jrom

duals, but deem the preceding insertion
