GENERAL REMARKS RELATIVE TO MoFFAT's LIFE
PILLS AND PpENIx BITTERs.
These medicines have long been known and APP
precIated, for their extraordinary and immediate
powers of restoring perfect heal,to persons suffer-
ing under nearly every kind of disease to which the
human frame is liable
In many hundreds of certficated instances, they
have even rescued sufferers from the very verge of
untmely grave, after all the deceptive nostrums
of the day have utterly failed; and TO many thou
sands they have permanently secured that unformi
enjoyment OF health, without which life itself is
but partial blessing. So great, indeed, has their
efficacy invariably and nialby proved, that it has
appeared scarcely less than miraculous to those
who were unacquanted with the beautifully phio
sophical principles upon which they are compound
ed, and upon which they consequently act. 1t
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 reoices in the opportunity afford
ed by the universal dflnson Of the daily press for
placing This VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS within
The community. Unlike the host of pernicious
quackeries hch boast Of 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, alto
gether unknown to the ignorant pretenders to med
ical science; and were never before administered in
so happily efficacious 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 yolutions
of the small inlestnes. Other medicines only par
TALLY cleanse these, and leave such collected masses
behind 10 produce hnbitual costly eness with all
its train of evils, sudden darrhoea, with its imi-
nent dangers. This fact is well known to all reg
