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.
In addition to the foregoing, the pro
prietors have valuable certificates Jrom

duals, but deem the preceding insertion
