GENERAL REMARKS RELATIVE TO MoFFAT's
LIFE Pills AND PnGNIx BITTERs.

These medicines have long been known and
appreciated for their extraordinary and imme-
date powers of restoring perfect health to per.
sons suffering under nearly every kind of di-
sease to which the human frame is liable.
In many hundreds of certifcoted instances,
they have even rescued sufferers from the very
verge of an untimely grave, after all the de-
ceptive nostrums of the day had utterly failed;
and tomany thousands 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 infallibly proved, that it has appeared
scarcely less than miraculous to those who
were unacquainted with the beautifully philo-
sophical principles upon which they are COM
pounded, and upon which they consequently
act. It 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 their
name, which was bestowed upon them at the
spontaneous request of several individuals
whose lives they have obviously saved.
The proprietor rejoices in the opportunity at
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 pernl-
cious quackeries, which boast of Vegetable in
gradients, the Life Pills are purely and SOLELY
VEGETABLE, and contain neither Mercury, An
tmony, 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
sence; and were never before administered in
so happily efficacous 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 costive-
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 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 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-
mach, course. freely through the veins, renews
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 Life Pills are well known to be infallibe:
DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the
first and second stomachs, and creating flow
of pure healthy bile instead of the stale and
acid kind; ;-Flatulency Palpitation of the
Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heartburn and Head
ache, Restlessness, lll-temper, Anxiety, Lam
guor and Melancholy, which are the general
symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vanish, as ma
tural consequence Of its cure. Costiveness, by
cleansing the whole length of the intestines
with solvent process, and without violence
all violent purges leave the bowels costive
within two days. Diarrhea and Cholera, by
removing the sharp acrid fluids by which these
complaints are occasioned, and by promoting
the lubricative secretion of the mucus mem
brane. Fever of all kinds, by restoring the
blood to regular circulation, through the pro-
cess of perspiration in some cases, and the
thorough solution of all intestical distractions
in others. The Lille Pills have been known to
cure Rheumatism permanently in three weeks,
and Gout in half that time, by removing local
inflammation from the muscles and ligaments Of
the joints. Dropsles of all kinds, by freeing
and Strengthening the kidneys and bladder
they operate delightfully."- on these important or
gans, and hence have ever been found cer-
tain remedy for the worst cases of Gravel
Also, Worms, by dislodgihg from the turnings
of the bowels and Shiny matter to which these
creatures adhere. Asthma and Consumption,
by relieving the air vessels of the lungs from
the mucus, which even slight colds will occa-
siou, which if not removed becomes hardened
and produces those dreadful diseases. Scurvy,
Ulcers, and Inveterate Sores, by the perfect
purity which these Life Pills giveto the blood,
and all the humors. Scorbutlc Eruptions, and
Bad Compilations, by their Alternative effect up
on the fluids that feed the skin, the morbid state
of which occasions all Eruptve Complaints,
Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable Com
plexions. Tbe use of these pills for very
short time, will effect an entire cure of Salt
Rheum, Erysi2eas, and striking improve
ment in the Clearness of the Skin. Common
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
and obstinate malady, the Vegetable Life Pills
deserve distinct and emphatic recommended
tion. 1t is well known to hundreds in this Ell
ty, that the Propretors Of these Invaluable
Pills, was himself afflicted with this complaint
for upwards Of thirty-fye years, and that he
tried in vain every remedy prescribed within
the whole compass Of the Matera Medica. He
however, at length, tried the medicine which
he now offers to the public, and he was cured
in very short time, after his recovery had
