prosperous and fourishing merchant 10 the lower
part u the ciiy and having consulted and employ
ed number Of our most skllfu physicians he, after
months Of suiferng, prevailed upon 10 purchase
the recipe Of the invaluable vegetable preparations
no " offered TO the public.
The effect Of The Life Medicines in his own case,
was singular aud remarkable that he Immediately
determined to offer 10 the world medicine to which
he not only owed his life, but his happiness. The
uniform success which has since attended their adj
mnstraion in every instance where fair trial has
been given them, has been attesied by usands,
and iacontestibly proves their intrinsic merit
THE LIFE DIcINES-GENERAL RE-
MARKS.
These medicines are indebted for their name to
their manifest and sensible action in purifying the
springs and channels Of life, and enduing them with
renewed tone aud vigor, and 10 the undouoted laet
that at very early period in their history they
had rescued sufferers from the very verge oil an un-
timely grave after all the deceptive uostruins OF
the day, prescribed by physicians, had utterly fail
ed in which eases they also permanently secured
that uniform enjoyment Of health, without which
life itself is but partial blessing. So great, iu-
deed had their efficacy invariably proved, that it
y as scarcely less than miraculous to those who
unacquainted with the beautifully phiiosophl.
cad principles upon which they were compounded,
aud upon which they consequently act.
TIE PH9SlX BlTTERs are so called, because
they possess the power Of restoring the expiring
embers Of health, TO glowing yigor throughout the
constructions as the Phoenix is said to be restored TO
life from the ashes Of its own dissolution. The
Phoenix Bitiers entirely vegetable, composed OF
roots found only in certain parts OF the Western
country, which will infaliibly enre FEW Frs AND
AGUES Of all kinds; viii never fail to eradicate
entirely all the effects Of Mercury infinitely sooner
than the most powerful preparation OF Sarsaparia,
aud will Immediately cure the determination of
BLOOD TO THE HEAD; never fail in the sick
ness incidenI 10 young females; and will be found
certain remedy in all cases OF nervous debility and
tceakness of the most impaired constitutions As a
remedy for Chroatc and In 1ammatory Rheumatism,
the efficacy of the Phoenix Biters will be demon
straied by the use OF a sing bottle.
The proprietor reloices in the opportunity afford
ed BY the universal diffusion of the press, for placing
his VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES within the
knowledge and reach OF every individual in the
community. Unlike the host of pernicious quacke-
cries, which boast Of vegetable ingredients, the
Life Pills purely and SOLELY VEGETABLE, and
contain neither Mercury, Antimony, Arsenic,
any other mineral, in any form whatever. They
are entirely composed Of extracts from rare and
pow erfl plants, the virtues Of which, though long
known TO several Indian tribes and recently 10 some
cminerr pharmaceutical chemists, are altogether un
known TO the ignorant pretenders TO medical sci
ence and before administered in so
happily efficacous a combination.
Their first operation is TO loosen from the coats of
the stomach and bowels the variou Impurities and
crndities constantly settling around them; and to
remove the hardened Eeces which collect in the
volutons of the small intesiues. Other medicines
only partially cleanse these, and leave such collect
ed masses behind TO produce habitual costyeness
with all its train of evils, sudden diarrhea with
its imminent dangers. The fact is well known to
all regular anatomists, who examine the human bow
els after death, and hence the prejudice Of these
well informed men against the quack medicines OF he
age The second effect Of the VEGETABLE LIFE
Pulls is TO cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and
by this means, the liver and the lungs, the health
fu action of which entirel depends upon the regu
larity Of the urinary organs. The blood, which
takes its red color from the agency of the liver aud
the lungs before it passes into the heart, being thus
purified by them, and nourished by food coming
from clean stomach, courses freely through the
veins, renews every part of the sy stem, and tri-
umphanly mounts the banner OF hea lth in the bloom
ing check
The following are the distressing variety of hui
man diseases, to which the Vegetable Life Pills

process of perspration in some cases, and the tho
rough solution OF all Intestinal distractions IN others
The Lie Medicines have been known TO cure Rheu-
rnatism permanently in three weeks, and Gout in
half that time, by removing local Inflammation from
the muscles and lgaments of the joints. Dropsies

Common Colds and Influenza will always be cured
By one DOSE or by two, even in the worst cases
Pilts-as a remedy for this most distressing and
obstinate maady, the Vegetable Life Pills deserve
a distinct and emphatic recommendation. IL is well
known to hundreds in this city, that the originator
of these invaluable Pills himself afflicted with
this complaint for upw ards of thirty fUe years. and
that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed with
in the whole compass Of the Maeria Medica. He
however, al length, tried the medicine which he
now offers to the public, and he was cured in very
short alter ms recovery nau DeCn pronounced

any human means.
