u57A CONTRAST. ALL nations, from the
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 an unknown ocean, and have
discovered the precious OBJ ect 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, L have not ony
passed from the detected invad,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-ciitizens. Does the reader proof
that the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES are
suitable to his 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
ined by theta infabe" mineral preparations ofthe
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 MoFFAT's LIFE
PILLS AND P9ENIx BITTERs
These medicines have long been known and APP
precated, for their extraordinary and immediate
powers of restoring perfect health to persons suffer
lug under nearly every kind of disease to which the
human frame is liable.
In many hundreds of certihcated instances, they
have 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 uniform
enjoyment of health without which life itself is
but partial blessing. So great, indeed, has their
efficacy invariably and n!allbly proved, that it has
appeared scarcely less than miraculous TO those
who were unacquanted with the beautifully pho-
sophical principles upon which they 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
n M u spV IpIlp Il
uals whose lives they had obviously saved
The proprietor rejoices in the opportunity afford
ed by the universal dffnsion 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 pcrnicous
quackeries 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 10
some eminent pharmaceutical chemists, alto
gether unknown to the ignorant pretenders to med
ical science; and never before administered in
so happily eficacious a 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 convolutlons
of the small intestines. Other medicines only par
TALLY cleanse these, and leave such collected masses
behind, to produce habitual costlveness with all
Its train of evils, or sudden darrhoea, with its mi
nent dangers. This fact is well known TO all reg
u!ar anatomsts, 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
healthtu action oiwhch entirely depends upon the
regularity of the urinary organs. Tie blood which
takes its red color from the agency of the liver and
lungs before it passes into the heart being thus pu
rified by them, and nourshed by food coming from
the clean stomach, courses freely through the veins,
renews every part of the system, and triumphantIy
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
well known TO be nfable:-
DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the first
and second stomachs, and creating flow of pure
healthy bile, instead of the stale and acrid kind;
-ttatMtency, Palpitaton Of the Heart, Loss of ap-
