MA CONTRAST. ALI nations, from the re-
hottest ages, have had ships, but Columbus only
found out the way to America. Before the time of
the great Spanish navigator, people were only en-
ablcd to paddle about the shores. just so with the
Life Medicines. 1t is but two short years since l
first ventured upon an unknown ocean, and nave
discovered the precious object was i'll search Of
HEALTH. Vegetable medicines were indeed
known when l commenced my search, but their
use was not. BY the use of them, have not only
passed from the detected invalid to the hale hearty
and active man of business, but, comparatively
speaking, | have renewed my youth. l can thus,
with cofidence in my own experience, advise with
my tellow-ciitizens. Does the reader want proof
that the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES are
suitable to his own case? have file at my Office,
SAG Broadway hundreds of letters from some Of the
most respectable citizens of this my native land
voluntarily offered in testimony of the virtues OF a
GOOD VEGETABLE MEDICINE.
Persons whose constitutions have been nearly ru-
incd by tho'al-infalbe" mineral opara:ions oitho
day, will bear Witness that the Life Medicines
and such only, are the true course to permanent
good health. JOHN MOFFAT.
GENERAL REMARKS RELATIVE MoFFAT's LIFE
PILLS AND PnENIX BITTERS.
These medicines have long been known and APP
prcclated, for their extraordinary and immediate
powers Of restoring perfect health, persons suffer
ing under nearly every kind Of disease TO which the
human frame is liable.
In many hundreds of certifcated instances, they
have even rescued sufferers from the very verge of
untmely grave, after all the deceptive nostrums
of the day have utterly failed; and to many thou
sands they have permanently secured that uniform
enjoyment of health, without which life itself is
but partial blessing. So great, indeed has their
efficacy invariably and in!albly proved, that it has
appeared scarcely less than miraculous 10 those
who unacquainted with the beautifully philo-
sophical principles upon which they compound
ed, and upon which they consequently act. 1t was
to their manifest and sensible action in purifying
the springs and channels of life, and endung them
with renewed tone and vigor, that they were in
debted Rfor their name, which was bestowed upon
them at the spontaneous request OF several individ
uas whose lives they had obviously saved.
The proprietor rejoices in the opportunity afford
ed by the universal dfnson of the daily press, for
placing this VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS within
the knowledge and reach of every individual in
the community. Unlike the host of pernicious
quackeries, (which boast ofvegetabe ingredients the
Life Pills are purely and SOLELY VEGETABLE, and
containing neither Mercury, Anthony, Arsenic,
nor any other mineral in any form whatever. They
entirely composed of extracts from rare and
powerful plants, the virtues of which, though long
known to several Indian tribes, and recently to
some eminent pharmaceutical chemists are alto
gether unknown to the ignorant protenders to med
ical science and were before administer in
so happily efhcacious combination.
Their first operation is TO loosen from the coats
of the stomach and bowels, the various impurities
and crudities constantly settling around them and to
the faces which collect in the cony olut,ons
of the small inestines. Other medicines only par
TALLY cleanse these, and leave such collected masses
behind, as to produce habitual costveness, with all
its train of evils, or sudden darrhoea, with its imi-
nent dangers. This fact is we'll known to all reg
ular anatomists, who examine the human bowels
after DEATH and hence the prejudice of these well
informed men against the quack medicines of the
age. The second effect ofthe VEGETABLE LIFE
PILLS is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder,
and by this smeans, the liver and the lungs the
healthful action Of which entirely depends upon the
regularity of the urinary organs. The blood which
takes its red color from the agency of the liver and
lungs before it passes into the heart being thus M
rifed by them, and nourished by food coming from
the clean stomach courses freely through the veins
renews every part of the system, and triumphantlv
mounts the banner of health in the blooming check
The following are among the distressing variety
of human disoases,to which the Vegetable Life Pills
are well known TO be inallibIe:-
DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the first
and second stomachs, and creating flow of pure
healthy bile, instead of the stale and acrid kind:
-Flatulcncy, Palpitation Of the Heart, Loss of 4p
petite, Heartburn and Headache, RestlessncSs, ill.,
temper, .An1iety, Languor, and Melancholy which
are the general symptoms of Dyspepsia, wifi vanish,
