Mofat's Life Pills.

THESE medicines are indebted for
their name 10 their manifest and sensible
action in purifying the springs and chan
nels of life, and enduing them with re
newed tone and vigor. In many hundred
certified cases which have been made pub
lie, and in almost every species of disease
to which the hu:nan ira;nr is liable, the
happy effects oi MOFFATS LIFE
PILLS AND PHENIX BITTERS have
been gratefully and publicly acknowledge
ed by the persons benefited, and who
were previously unacquainted with the
beautifully philosophical principles upon
which they are compounded, and upon
which they consequently act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend
themselves in diseases of every descrip-
ion. Their first operation is to loosen
rom the coats of the stomach and bowels,
he various impurities and crudities con.
;tantly settling around them; and 30 re-
move the hardened fnces which collect in
the convolulion of the small intestines.
Other medicines only partially cleanse
these, and leave such collected masses be,
hind as 10 produce habi!ual costiveness-
with all its train of evils, or sudden diar-
rhGa, with its imminent dangers. This
fact is well known to all regular anato-
mists, who examine the human bowels
after death : and hence the prejudice of
these well informed men against quack
medicines, or medicines prepared and he
ralded 10 The public by ignorant persons.
The second effect Of tic Life Medicines is
to cleanse the Kidneys and the bladder,
and by This means, the liver and the lungs,
the healthful action of which entirely de-
pcnds 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, be-
ing thus purified by them, and nourishad
| by food coming from clean stomach,
courses freely through the veins, renews
every part Of The system, and triumphanlly
mounts the banner Of health in the bloom.

From the Puritan.
CHANGE IN PgBLIC OPINION.

We take bat very inadequate view oi
the existing revivals of religion. if we es-
innate the results exclusively, by what is
done in the conversation of Sinners
The same spirit Of grace which is renew
ing and sanctifying the hearts of individu-
ais, is abroad, working transformations
upon the public heart, and giving vigour
to the public conscience. And before the
breath Of that all pervadiug spirit, public
wickedness is fleeing away, and public
delusion is retiring as the fogs Of the
night before the morning sun. The pas
sion for theatrical amusements, and the
sins that cluster round the stage, has de-
clined to an extent alarming and ruinous
to the holders Of investments in theatrical
funds. The violated taste in reading is
evidently undergoing a salutary change.
The influence Of those fictitious writing
which cater to bad passions is becoming
more limited, and running in lower chan
nels.
Then we may add to this, that few Of
the last years have witnessed great re-
form in regard 10 some public vices. The
check that has been given TO intemperance
seems like the work Of a century, accom-
plished in lustrum. Then the more in.
innate union of literature and religion,
shows the working Of the hand Of God.
'Tis very few years since some of the
leading periodicals Of G. Britain we're en-
venomcd with spirit Of hostility 10 pie
Ly, and Christian Missions
And now such works as the Edinburg
Review, sustained by lofiest inteIlects of
The British empire, and but recently ma
king war upon all vital religion, have
their tone. They speak of the
work Of missions with respect and COM
And the Missionaries 10 the

philosophic minds.
And even opposition 10 religion, where
it is net overawcd and silenced, by the

sumes forms more advantageous to the
cause of Christ. Infdelily runs with di-
minished currents, and in lower channels.

is as fully under the sway Of the sanclify-
ing spirit as that Of one sinner. And that
one touch Of the finger of God can crum.
bic the entertainments behind which a
worlds depravity resisted the action Of
the most ear nest and well directed means.
What encouragement is there for prayer,
and for the union Of all Christian hearts,
in the aspiration, o that the salvation of
Israel were como out Of Zion!
