Schlaberndorf was not the man TO make an ungrace-

boots were missing; he sought and sought, and the

The gaoier agreed. The wagon, full enough without

usual hour the vehicle returned; and the victim who

BY the use of MOFFAT'S LIFE
is no longer matter Of doubt, as reference to
the experience Of many thousand patients will
satisfactorily prove During the present month
alone, nearly one hundred cases have come to
the knowledge of Mr.. Mofiat, where the patient
has, 10 all appearance, effected permanent
cure by the exclusive and judicious use of the
Life Medicines-some eight or ten of these
had been considered beyond all hope by their
medical attendants. Such happy results are 4
source of grea, pleasure to Mr.. M. and inspire
him with new confidence to recommend the
use of his medicines to his felow-cilizens.
The LIFE MEDICINES are purely We
GETABLE preparation. They are mild and
pleasant in their operation and at the same
time thorougl-acting rapidly upon the secre-
tons Of the system-carrying off all ucrimoni-
Gus humors, and assimiating with and purify
ing the bood. For this reason, in aggravated
cases of Dyspepsia, the Life Medicines will
give relief in shorter space of time than any
other prescription. In Fever-and-Ague, In
Aammatory Rheumatism, Fevers ofeyery des-
cription, Sick Headache, Heartburn, Dizziness
in the Head, Pains in the Chest, Flatulency,
impaired appetite, and in every disease arising
from an impurity Of the blood, or disordered
state Of the stomach, the Use Of these Medicines
has always proved to be beyond doubt greatly
superior TO any other mode of treatment.
All that Mr.. Moffat asks Of his patients is 10
be particular in taking them strictly according
10 the directions. 1, is not bya newspaper no.
tice, or by any thing that he himself may say in
their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. 1t is
alone by the results ofa fair trial. Is the reader
an invalid, and docs he wish to know whether
the Life Medicines will suit his own case 7 II
so, lei him call or send to MIR. Moffat's agent in
this place, and procure copy of the Medical
Manual, designed as n Domestic Guide TO
Health, published gratuitously. He will there
