BITYERS.

IVA CONTRAST. ALI nations, from the re-
hottest ages, have had ships, but Columbus only
the great Spanisi, navigator people were only en-
abled to puddle about the shores. Just so with the
Life Medicines 1t is but two short years since
first ventured upon an unknown ocean, and have
discovered the precious object was in 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, | can thus
with cotidence in my own experience, advise with
my fellow citizens Does the reader want proof
that the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES are
suitable to his case? have on file at my office
$40 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 the"all nalllble era preparations Of the
day. will bear witness, that the Life Medicines
and such only, are the true course to permanent
good health JOHN MOFFAT.
GENERAL REMARKS RELATIVE TO MoFFAT's LIFE
PILLS AND PceENIx BITrERs.
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 certitcated instances thew
have even rescued sufferers from the very verge of
an untmely grave after all the deceptive nostrums
Of the day have utterly failed and to many thou
enjoyment of health, without which life itself is
but partial blessing. So great, indeed, has their
efficacy invariably and in:allibly proved that it has
appeared scarcely less than miraculous to those
who were unacquainted 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
the springs and channels of life, and enduing them
with renewed tone and vigor, that they were in
debted for their name, which was bestowed upon
them at The spontaneous request of several individ
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 perncious
quackeries which boast ofvegetnble ingredients the
Life Pills are purely and SOLELY VEGETABLE, and
containing neither Mercury, Anthony, Arsenic,
nor any other mineral in any form whatever They
powerful plants, the virtues of which, though long
known to several Indian tribes, and recently to
some eminent pharmaceutical chemists are alto
geher unknown to the ignorant prctenders to med
zeal sciences and were never before administered in
s" happily etiicacious 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 faces which collect in the con- olutlons
of the small intestnes Other medicines only par
TALLY cleanse these, and leave such collected masses
behind as to produce habitual costlveness with all
its train of evils or sudden darrhoea with ito 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 we'll
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 means, the liver and the lungs, the
heathful 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 heaI being thus pu-
rifed by them, and nourshed by food coming from
the clean stomach courses freely through the veins
