~ .,a,riug was prev allied upon TO purchase
he reeiee Of the invaluable vegetable preparation
now offered 10 the pubic.
The effect Of the Life Medicinef, in his own case,
wa. 90 Singular aud able, that he impe
determined to offer TO the world medicine to which
he moi only owed bis life, but bis happiness The
uniform success which has since attended their I'D.
nstratiou In every instance, where afar trial has
been given them, has been attested BY Thousands,
and ;ncontestibiy proves their intrinsic merit.
THE LIFE MEDICINES = GENERAL RE.
MARKS.
These medicines are indebted for III, =. name TO
their manifest and sensible action in purifying the
springs and channels Of life and endung them vi 18th
renewed tone aud vigor, and 10 the undoub,ed TACT
that at very early period in their history they
had rescued sufferers from the very verge Of an nm
timely grave, after all the deceptive nostrnns Of
the day, prescribed by physicians, had utterly iaii
ed, in " bich cases they also permanently secured
that uniform enjoyment Of health. without which
life itself is but partial blessing. So great, IN

cal principles upon which they were conpounaea,
aud upon which they consequently act:

they possess the power OF restoring 'he exPnng

The proprietor rrjoices IN the opportunity Afford
ed BY the universal diffusion OF the press for placing
his VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES within the
community. Unlike the host Of pernicious quacke-
ries, which boast Of vegetable ingredients, the
Life Pills are purely aud SOLELY VEGETABLE, and
contain neither Mercury, Antimony, Arsenic. nor
any other mineral, in any form whatever They
are entirely composed Of extracts from rare and
powerful plants, the virtues OF which. though long
known to several Indian tribes and recently some
eminen, pharmaceutical chemists are altogether un
known TO the ignorant pretenders TO medical SCI
encc; and were never before administered IN so
happily etIcacious combination.
Their first operation is to loosen from the coats oil
the stomach and bowels the various impurities and
crndities constantly settling around them; and TO
the hardened eces which collect ~ tho con.
yoluiions Of the small intesines. Other medicines
only partially cleanse these and leave such collect
ed masses behind as produce habiiual cosiycness,
with all its train Of evils, sudden diarrbea, with
its Imminent dangers. The fact is well known TO
all re euIar an atomists who anime the human bow
els after death, and hence the prejudice OF these
well inior med men ganst he quack medicines OF the
age. The secoud effect Of the VEGETABLE LIFE
Puts is TO cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, aud
bxf liz. nd he Iun~y

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 beirs thus
purified by them, and nourisbed by food coming
from a clean stomach, courses freely through The
veins, renews every part OF the 9! stem, and iri-
umphanly mounts the banner OF hea th in the bloom

Piies,-as remedy for this most distressing aud
obstinate malady, The Vegetable Life Pills deserve

Of these invaluable Pills was himself afflicted with
this COM ant for upwards Of thirty flee years. aud
that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed with

however, at length, tried the medicine which he
now offers to the public, and he was cured IN avery
short time after his recovery had been pronounced
not only improbable, but absolutely impossible, by
any human means.
All that Mr.. Mofat requires Of his patients is to
be particular IN taking the Life Medicines strictly
TO the directions. II is not by newspa.
per notice, or by any thing that he himself may say
IN their favor, that he hopes 10 gam credit. II is
alone by the results Of fair trial.
