GENERAL REMARKS RELATIVE TO MoFFAT's LIFE
PILLS AND PpENIX BITTERs.
These medicines have long been known and APP
preclated, for their extraordinary and immediate
powers of restoring perfect health to persons suffer-
ing under nearly every kind of disease to which the
human frame is liable
In many hundreds of certificated instances, they
have even rescued sufferers from the very verge Of
an untlmely grave, after all the deceptive nosrums
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 n!albly proved, that it has
appeared scarcely less than miraculous to those
who were unacquanted with the beautifully philo-
sophical principles upon which they are compound
ed, and upon which they consequently act. 1t was
to their manifest and sensible action in purifying
tI,n lp1n
with renewed tone and vgor that they were in
debted for their name, which was bestowed upon
them at the spontaneous request of several indlvd
uals whose lives they had obviously saved.
The proprietor rejoices in the opportunity afford
ed by the universal dnsion 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 perneious
quackeries (which boast ofvegetabe Ingredients the
Life Pills are purely and SOLELY VEGETABLE, and
containing neither Mercury. Anthony, Arsenic,
nor any other mineral, i'm any form whatever. They
arc entirely composed of extracts from 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 pretenders to med
lcal sciences and were before admins red in
so happily eilicacious a 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
remove the fEces which collect in the cow buttons
of the small intestnes. Other medicines only par
cleanse leave SUCH collected
behind, as to produce habiual costveness, with all
its train of evils, or sudden darrhoea, with its imi-
nent dangers This fact is well 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 tho kidneys and the bladder
and by this means, the liver and the lungs the
heallhful 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 passes into the heart, being thus pu-
rifed by them, and nourished by food coming from
the clean stomach courses freely through the veins,
renews every part OF the system and triumphantly
mounts the banner fhealth in the blooming cheek
The following are among the distressing variety
of human diseases,to which the Vegetable Life Pills
are-well known TO be infabe:-
