MA CONTRAST. ALL nations, from the re-
hottest ages have had ships, but Columbus only
found out the way to America. Before the 'i,ne Oh
the great Spanish navigator, people were only en-
abled to puddc about the shores. Just so with the
Life Medicines. 1t is but two short years since
first vcntured upon an unknown ocean, and L nave
discovered the precious object was in search of
HEALTH. Vegetable medicines were indeed
known when l commenced my search, but theIt
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 cofdence in my own experience, advise with
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
GOOD VEGETABLE MEDICINE.
Persons whose constitutions have been nearly ru-
iucd by call nallible" minera para.ions of the
day, will bear me Witness that the Life Medicines,
and such only, are the true course To permanent
good health. JOHN MOFFAT.
GENERAL REMARKS RELATIVE TO MoFFAr's LIFE
PILLS AND PeENIx BITTERs.
These medicines have long been known and APP
precIated for their extraordinary and immediate
powers of restoring perfect heath,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 untmely grave, after all the deceptive nostrums
of the day have utterly failed; and TO many thou
enjoy ment of health, without which life itself is
but partial blessing. So great, indeed, has their
efficacy invariably and inallibly 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 ACTON IN purifying
the springs and channels of life, and endulng 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 lndlvd-

The proprietor rejoces in the opportunity afford
ed by the universal dffnson 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
quacker;es which boast oivegetable ingredients, the
Life Pills purely and SOLELY VEGETABLE, and
containing neither Mercury, Anthony, Arsenic,
nor any other mineral in any form whatever. they
are entirely composed of extracts from rare and
powerful plants, the virtues of which, though long
known to several Indian tribes, and recently 10
some eminent pharmaceutical chemists, are alto
gether unknown to the ignorant pretenders to med
cal science; and were never before administered In
so happily eficacious combination.
Their first operation is to loosen from the coats
of the stomach and bowels the various impurities
and crudes constantly settling around them and to
remove the faces which collect in the convolutions
of the small intestines. Other medicines only par
tally cleanse these and leave such collected misses
behind as to produce habitual coslveness with all
its train of evils, sudden diarrhoea 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 LITE
PILLS is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder
and by this means, the liver and the lungs, the
healthfu action of which entirely depends upon the
regularity of the urinary organs. The blood which
takes Is red color from the agency of the liver and
lungs before it passes into the hea,t being thus pu
rfied by them, and nourshed by food coming from
the clean stomach courses freely through the veins
renews every part of the system, and triumphant,
mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek
