hottest ages, have had ships, but Columbus only
found out the way to America. Before the time OF

GENERAL REMARKS RELATIVE TO MoFFATs LIFE
FILLS AND P0ENIx BITTERs.
These medicines have long been known and APP
preclated, for their extraordinary and immediate
powers of restoring perfect heal!to persons suffer
ing under nearly every kind OF disease to which the
human frame is liable.
In many hundreds of certiicaed instances, they
have even rescued sufferers from the very verge of
/
of the day have utterly failed; and to many thou
sands they have permanently secured that inform
enjoyment of health, without which life itself is
but partial blessing 50 Great' indeed mas tnelr

WHO were unacquainted with the beautifully philo-
sonhical principles upon which they are compound
cd and upon which they consequently act. 1t was
TO their manifest and sensible action in purifying
the springs and channels of life, and enduins them
with renewed tone and vlgor, that they We're IN
debted for their name, which was bestowed upon
them at the spontaneous request OF several indVlu-
uals whose lives they had obviously saved
The proprietor rejoices in the opportunity Afford
ed by the universal dffnsion 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
ounckcries which boast Of vegetable ngredientsthe
Liz, Pills are purely and SOLELY VEGETABLE, and
containing neither Mercury, Antimony 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 chemists, are alto
gethor unknown to the ignorant pretenders to med
zeal science; and were never before administered IN
so happily eficacious a combination
Their first operation is to loosen from the coats
of the stomach and bowels. the various impurities
and crudiies constantly settling around them and to
remove the fEces which collect in the convo buttons
of the small inestines. Other medicines only par
tnlly cleanse these and leave such collected masses
behind as to produce habitual costveness with all
it's train of evils, sudden diarrhoea, with its iml-
nent dangers. This fact is well known to all reg
uar anninmists who examine the human bowels
after death: and hence the prejudice of these well
informed men against the quact 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
healihful 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
lungs before it passes into the heart, being thus pu
