TNHESE medicines have long been known
and appreciated, for their extraordinary
and immediate powers Of restoring perfect
health, to persons suffering under nearly every
kind Of disease to which the human frame IS
liable
In MANY hundreds of certified instances,
thew 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 to many thousands they have permanently
secured that uniform enjoyment Of health,
without which life itself is but partial bless
ing. So great, indeed, has their efficacy in.
varably and iDtallibly proved, that it has up.
peared scarcely less than miraculous to those
who were unacquainted with the beautifully
principles upon which they are
compounded. and upon which they conse,

sensible action in purifying the springs. 3, ana
channels of life, and cnduing them with re-
newed tone and vigor, that they were indept-
ed for their name, which was bestowed upon
them at the spontaneous request OF sc'ela'
individuals whose lives they had obviously
saved.
Tho proprietor reioices in the opportunity
afforded nv the universal diffusion Of the
daily press, for placing his VEGETABLE
LIFE PILLS within the knowledge and reach
of every individual in the community. I'm
like the host of pernicious quackeries, which
boast Of vegetable ingredients, the Life Pills
are purely and solely vegetable, and contain
neither Mercury, Anthony, 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 scmc pharmaceutical chemists,
arc altogether unknown to the ignorant pre-.
tenders to medical science and were never
before administered in so happily eficacious
combination.
Their first operation is to loosen from the
coats of the stomach and bowels, the various
impurities and cruditics constantly settling
around them; and to remove the hardened
faces, which collect in the convolutions of
the small intestines. Other medicines only
partially cleanse these, and leave such col.
lected masses behind, as to produce habitual
costiveness, with all it's train of evils, or sud.
den diarrhoea, with it's imminent dangers.
This fact is we'll known to all regular ana
tomists, who examine the human bowels af.
aer death: and hence the prejudice of these
we'll informed men against the quack medi.
cines of the age. The second effect of the
VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS is to cleanse the
kidneys and the bladder, and by this means,
the liver and the lungs, the healthful 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 nour-
ished bv food coming from a clean stomach,
