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-
abled to paddle about the shores just SO with the
Life Medicines. 1t is but two short years since
first ventured upon unknown ocean, and have
discovered the precious object was in search Of

GENERAL REMARKS RELATIVE TO MoFFAr's LIFE
FILLS AND rCeENIX BIrTERs
These medicines have long been known and ap
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 ccrtilicated 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 10 many thou
sands they have permanently secured that unform
enjoyment of health, without which life itself is
but partial blessing So great, indeed, has their
efficacy invariably and n!allibly proved, that it has
appeared scarcely less than miraculous TO those
who 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
Il. l.t,,
with renewed tone and vigor, that they in
debted for their name, which bestowed upon
them at the spontaneous request of several indivd-
uas whose lives they had obviously saved.
The proprietor rcloces 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
quackeries which boast vegetable ingredients, the
Life Pills purely and SOLELY VEGETABLE, aud
continuing 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, alto
gether unknown to the ignorant pretenders to med
zeal science; and never before administered in
so happily efficacious combination.
Their first operation 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 olutIon
of the small inestnes. Other medicines only par
tally cleanse these and leave such collected misses
behind, to produce haDual costlveness, with all
its train of evils, or 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 LIFE
PILLS is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder
and by this means, the liver and the lungs, the
healthful action ofwhich ntrey 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 heat, being thus pu
rified by them, and nourished by food coming from
the clean stomach courses freely through the veins
renews every part OF the system, and triumphant
mounts the banner ofhealih in the blooming cheek
