GENERAL REMARKS RELATIVE TO MoFFAT's LIFE
PILLS AND PDENIX BIrTERs.
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 certiiicated instances, they
have even rescued sufferers from the very verge OF
untimey grave, after all the deceptive nostrums
. OF the day nave utterly lalleu ana 10 many tilou
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 nallbly proved, that it has
appeared scarcely less than miraculous to those
who were unacquainted with the beautifully philo-
sophcal 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 in
debted for their name, which was bestowed upon
them the spontaneous request of several individ
uals whose lives they had obviously saved.
The proprietor eloices in the opportunity afford
ed by the universal df'nsou 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
auac keres which boast vegetable ingredients, the
Life Pills are 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 to
some eminent pharmaceutical chemists, are alto
gether unknown to the Ignorant pretenders to med
ical science; and before administered in
SO happily etfcacious a 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 fEces which collect in the cow outIons
of the small ntestines. Other medicines only par
tally cleanse these and leave such collected
behind, as to produce habual coshveness, with all
itsgran of evils, sudden diarrhoea, 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 means, the liver and the lungs, the
healthfu 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 p-
rfed by them, and nourished by food coming from
the clean stomach courses freely through the veins,
renews every part of the system, and trumphantly
mounts the banner of health 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 infallibe:-

{ and second stomachs and creating flow of pure
