part Of the city and having consulted and employ

The effect Of the Life Medicines, in his own case
was so singular aud remarkable, tbsihe immediately
determined TO offer to the world a medicine TO whlci
he not only owed his life, but his happiness. ih'

THE LIFE MEDICINES-GENERAL RE
MARKS
These medicines are indebted for their name 10
their manifest and sensible action in purifying the
springs and channels Of life, aud enduiHg them with
renewed tone and vigor, and TO the undonbtcd Tact
that at a very early period IN their history they
had rescued sufferers from the very verge OF an no.
timely grave, after all the deceptive %nostrutns OF
the day. prescribed by physicians, had utterly fail
ed, in which cases they also permanently secured
that uniform enjoyment of health, without which
life itself is but a partial blessing. so great, IN
deed had their efficacy Invariably proved. that it
was scarcely less than miraculous TO those who
were unacquainted With the beautifully philosophi-
cal principles upon which they we're compounded,
and upon which they consequently act.
The PHgNix BITTERs are so called, because
they possess the power OF restoring the expiring
embers OF health, TO a glowing yigor throughout the
constitution, as the Phoenix is said TO be restored 10
life from the ashes Of its own dissolution. The
Phenix Bitters are entirely vegetable, composed OF
roots found only in certain parts Of the western
country, which will i~nfallibly cure FEsEkS AM
AGUES Of all kinds; will never fail 10 eradicate

The proprietor rejoices in the opportunity anoro-
ed by the universal diffusion of the press, Tor placing

community. Unlike the host of pernicious quacke-
ries, which boast of vegetable ingredients, the
Life Pills are purely and SOLELY vEGETABLE, ana
contain neither Mercury, Antimony, Arsenic, nor
any other mineral, in any form Whatever Ihey
are entirely composed of extracts from rare and
powerful plants, the virtues of which, though long

Their first operation is TO loosen from the coats OF
the stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities constantly settling around them ard to
remove the hardened fsces which collect 10 the con-
volutions Of the small intestines. Other medicines
only partially cleanse these, and leave such collect
ed masses behind as 10 produce habitual costiveDess,

all Irregular au atomists whoexamIne the human bow

The following are the distressing variety OF hui
man diseases, to which The Vegetable Life Pills are
well known 10 be infallible:

second stomachs. aud creating a flow OF pure healthy
bile, instea adj OF the stale and acrid kind -FTatuten'

purges leave the bowels costive within two days.
DidrrhGa and Cholera, by removing the sharp aerid
fluids BY which these complaints are occssioned,
and by promoting the lubricative secretions OF the
mucous membrane. Fevers of all kinds, by restor'
ing the blood TO a regular circulation through the
process of perspiration in some cases, and the tho
Yonub solution OF all stIuaI ODstruCtlOnb1 In OtneTb.
The Lie Medicines have been known TO cure Rheu-
matisr7 permanently in three weeks, and Gout IN
half that time, by removing local inflammation from
the muscles aud ligaments OF the joints. Dropstes
of all kinds, by freeing and strengthening the KID
neys and bladder; they operate most delightfully."-

The use of these Pills for a very short time, will
effect as entire cure for Salt Rheum, Erysipeas, and
a striking Improvement in the Cledrness Of the SKIN.
Common Colds and Influenza will always be cured
by one dose, or by two, even in the worst cases.
Piies,-as a remedy for this most distressing and
obstinate malady, the Vegetable Life Pills deserve
a distinct and emphatic recommendation. Iii is well
known to hundreds in this city, hat the originator
of these invaluable Pills W as himself afflicted with
this complaint for upwards of thirty five years. and
that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed with
in the whole compass Of the Matcria Medica. He
however, at length, tried the medicine which he
now offers TO the public. and he was cured in a very
short time, after his recovery had been pronounced
not only improbable, but absolutely impossible, by
any human means.
All that Mr.. Moffat requires of his patients is to
be particular IN taking the Life Medicines strictly
according to the directions. II is not by a newspa-
per notice, or by any thing that he himself may say
IN their favor, that he hopes TO gam credit. 1t ID
alone by the results Of a fair trial.
ADVICE TO FEMALEs.-Females who value good
health should never be without the Life Medicines,
as they purify the blood, remove Distinctions, and
give the skin a beautiful, clear, healthy, and bloom
ing appearance.
To Parents AND OTHERS. Persons Of a ple-
thoric habit. who are subject TO fits, headache, gid
diness, dimness Of sight, or drowsiness, from too
great a flow of blood TO the head, should take il
frequently. Children, and persons OF all ages, may
take them at any time, as they do not contain mer-
curry, or any Ingredient that requires confinementor
restriction Of diet.
To ELDERLY PERsoEs.-Many healthy aged in
diyiduals, who know the value Of Moffat's Life Me-
dicines, make il a rule TO take them two or three
times a week, by which they remove the causes
that produce disease, preserve their health, and
keep off the inirmities Of age.
HEADS OF FAMILIES should always keep a guam

in eases OF sudden illness; for by their prompt adj
ministration, Cholera Morbus, Goui in the stomach,
Cramps, Spasms, Fevers, and other alarming COM
plants, which too often prove fatal, may be speedily
cured or prevented.
FACTS ron MoTHEas AND MUSES. II is a fact
established by the annual bills Of mortality that one
half of the children born, are cut off before attaining
seven years Of age, and the fruitful source of this
mortality is found to exist in that foul state Of the
stomach and bowels which produces the generation
of Worms. AS the safe restorer of I~nfantine Health,
in this critical state. the Life Medicines have Iono
