The s~alutary effects Of the Life Medicines have, IN

The reader may not perhaps be aware that the
origin Of Monot's Life Medicines was The result OF
a protracted and painful illness oftheir originator
Mr.. JOINS MoFYAT. When taken III, Mr.. NJ. was
a prosperous and forJishiog merchant IN the lower
part Of the city and having consulted and employ
ed a number OF our most skilful physicians; he, at
Ter months Of suffering, was prevailed upon to pur-
chase the recipe of the invaluable vegetable prepa-
ration which he now offers to the public.
The effect Of the Life Medicines in his owncase
was unparalleled in the history of Medical expert
ence and he Immediately determined to offer to
the world o Medicine to which he not only owed
his life. but his happiness. The uniform success
which has since attended their administration IN
every instance where a fair trial he's been gwen
them, has been attested by thousands
tibly proves their intrinsic merit.
The Life Medicines can be taken with satetyby
persons Of any age; and the feeble, the inhrm, the
nervous, and the delicate, are strengthenedbythelr
operations, because by their prompiand proper ac-
ton upon the secretions OF the system, and their
assimilation with and publication oftheblood, they
clear the system ofallbad humors, quiet all nervous
irritabiFiy, and invariable produce sound health.
