appreciated for their extraordinary and imme-
date powers ofrestonng perfect health to per.
sons suffering under nearly every kind of di-
sease to which the human frame is liable.
In many hundreds of certi6coted instances
they have even rescued sufferers fromthe very
verge Of an untimey grave, after all the de.
ceptive ncstrums Of the day had utterly failed;
and to many thousands they have permanently
secured that uniform enjoyment of health
without whichlife itself isl but partiHl blessing
So great, indeed, has their efficacy invariably
and infallibly proved, tnat it has appeared
scarcely less than miraculous to those who
were unacquainted with the beautifully philo.
sophcal principles upon which they are com.
pounded, and upon which they consequently
act. 1t was to their manifest and sensible ac.
ton in purifying the springs and channels Of
life, and enduing them with renewed tone
and vigor, that they were indebted for theil
name, which was bestowed upon them at the
spontaneous request of several individuals
whose lives they have obviously saved.
The proprietor rejoces in the opportunity af-
forded by the universal diffusion of the daily
press for placing his Vegetable Life Pills with
in the knowledge and reach of every individual
in the community. Unlike the host of perni-
cious quackeries, which boast of Vegetable in
gradients, the Life Pills are purely and SOLELY
VEGETABLE, and contain neither Mercury, An
tlmony, 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 chimists, are altogether un-
known TO the ignorant pretenders of medical
slence; 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 hardened
faces which collect in the convolutions of the
small intestines. Other medicines only parti-
ally cleanse these, and leave such collected
masses behind, as to produce habitual costve-
ness, with all its train of evils, of sudden diar-
rhea. with its imminent dangers. The fact
is well known to all regular anatomlsts, who
examine the human bowels after death; and
hence the prejudice Of these well. informed
men against the quack medicine 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 health
ful action of which entirely depends upon the
regularity of the urinary organs. The blood,
which takes its red color from the agency of
the liver and the lungs before it passes into
the heart, being thus purified by them, and
nourished by food coming from clean sto.

every part Of the system, and triumphantly
mounts the banner of health in the blooming
cheek.
The following are among the distressing va
riety OF human diseases, to which the Veg eta
Bile Lite Pills are well known TO be infallible:

removing the sharp aerd fluids by which these
complaints are occasioned, and by promoting
the ubricative secretion of the mucus menu
brane. Fever of all kinds, by restoring the
blood toa regular circulation, through the pro-
cess OF perspiration in some cases, and the
solution Of all intestical distractions
in others. The Lille Pills have been known to

and Gout in half that time, by removing local
inflammation from the muscles and ligaments of
the joints. Dropsies of all kinds, by freeing
and streng thenlng the kidneys and bladder

Colds and Influenza, will always be cured by
one dose, or by two, even in the worst cases.
Piles,--as a'remedy for this most distressing
ind obstinate malady, the Vegetable Life Pills
deserve a distinct and emphatic recommends

y, that the Proprietors Of these invaluable
Pills, was himself afflicted with this complaint
or upwards of thirty five years, and that he
ried in vain every remedy prescribed within
he whole compass Of the Materia Medica. He
however, at length, tried the medicine which /
lie now offers to the public, and he was cured
