THE LIFE MEDICINES-GENERAL RE-
MARKS.
These medicines are indebted for their name 70
their manifest and sensible action in purifying the
springs ane channels Of life, and enduIng them with
renewed tone and vigor, and to the nndonbtcd TACT
that at a very early period in their history they
had rescued sufferers from the very verge OF an an,
timely grave, after all the deceptive nostrums OF
the day, prescribed by physicians, had utterly tart
ed, in which eases they also permanently secured
thar uniform enjoyment of health, without winch
life itself is but a partial blessing. 80 greai, la'
deed had their efficacy invariably proved, that il
was scarceiy less than miraculous TO those who
were unacquainted with the beautifully philosophi.

The proprietor rcioices in the opportunity afford-
ed by the universal diffusion OF the press Tor placing
his VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES within The
know ledge and reach OF every indlyinuai IN Tue
community. Unlike the host oil pernicious quacke-
ries, which boast Of vegetable ingredients, inc
Life Pills are purely and SOLELY VEGETABLh, anu
contain neither Mercury, Antimony, Arsenic, nor
any other mineral, in auy form whatever. Ihey
are entirely composed of extracts from rare ana
powerful plants, the virtues oil wbich, thoush iong

the stomach and bowels, the various impurities ana

only partially cleanse these. and leave such collect
ed masses behind as TO produce haoitualc os'ivehess,
with all its train of evils, or sudden diarrh9a, with
its imminent dangers. The fact IS well known TO

Pitts is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and

the lungs before il passes into the heart, beirg thus
purified by them, and nourIshed py 1000 coming
from a clean stomach, courses freely 'hrough the
veins, rencws every part oil the $! stem, ana 'ri-
umphautly mounts the banner oil health III the doom
