GENERAL REMARKS RELATIVE TO MOFFAT's LIFE
PILLS AND pGENIX BITTERs.
These medicines have long been known and APP
preciated, 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 cerifcatcd 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
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!alliby proved that it has
appeared scarcely less than miraculous TO those
who unacquainted with the beautifully phiio-
sophcal principles upon which they are compound
ed, and upon which they consequently act. 1t was
to their manifest and sensible action IN purifying
tho springs and channels of life, and endung 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 lhdVia-
uals whose lives they had obviously saved.

ed by the universal dffnson of the daily press, for
placing this VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS within

uuackeries which boast ofvegetable ingredients, the

nor any other mineral in any form whatever They

powerful plants, the virtues of which, though long
