Wofat'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
10 which the human frame is liable, the
happy effects OF 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 dcscrip-
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; anc 10 re-
move the hardened faces which collect in
the convolution 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
rhea, with its imminent dangers. This
fact is well known 10 all regular anato-
mists, who examine the human bowels
after death and hence the prejudice of
these, we'll informed men against quack
medicines, or medicines prepared and he
ralded to the public by ignorant persons.
The second effect of tie Life Medicines is
to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder.
and by this means, the liver and the lungs,
the heulthful action of which entirely de-
pends 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 nourished
by food coming from clean stomach,
courses freely through the veins, renews
every part of the system, and triumphantly
mounts the banner Of health in the bloom.
