GENERAL REMARKS RELATIVE TO MoFFAr's LIFE
PILLS AND p9ENIx BITrERs.
These medicines have long been known and APP
preciated, for their extraordinary and Immediate
powers of restoring perfect health persons suffer-
ing under nearly every kind of disease 10 which the
human frame is liable.
In many hundreds of certifcaed 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 pleasing. So great, indeed, has thoir
efficacy invariably and inallibly Proved that it has
appeared scarcely less than miraculous TO those
who unacquainted with the beautifully pho-
sophical 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 vgor, that they were in
debted for their name, which was bestowed upon
them at the spontaneous request of several ndivid-
uals whose lives they had obviously saved
The proprietor rejoices in the opportunity afford
cd by the universal dfnsion 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 ofvegetabe ingredients the
containing neither Mercury, Anthony, Arsenic,
nor any other mineral i'm any form whatever They
arc 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 protenders to med
ical science; and were never before administered in
so happily etlicacious Il 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 faces which collect in the volutIons
of the small intestines. Other medicines only par
tally cleanse these, and leave such collected masses
behind, as to produce habitua costlveness, with all
its train of evils, sudden diarrhoea, with its m
nent dangers. This fact is well known to all reg
uar 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 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 heart being thus pp
rifed by them, and nourished by food coming from
the clean stomach courses freely through the veins,
renews every part of the system, and triumphantly
mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek.
The following among the distressing variety |
of human diseasesto which the Vegetable Life Pills |
are we'll known 10 be infallible:-

and second stomachs, and creating flow of pure

purges leave the bowels costive within two davs
Di0rrhoea and Cholera, by wing tho sharp acrid

muscus membrance. Fevers of all kinds by restor-
