MARKS,
These medicines are indebted for their name 10
their manif, Il aud sensible action in purifying the
springs aud channels OF life. aud enduing them with
renewed tone aud yigor, and to the andoubted tact,
that at a very early period IN their history they
had rescued sufferers from the very verge OF an nn-
timely grave, after all the deceptive nostruins or

ed, in which cases they also permanently secured
that Uniform enjoyment OF health, without which
life itself is bat a partial blessing. So great. in

The proprietor rejoices in the opportunity afford
ed by the universal diffusion OF the press, Tor placing
his VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES wItbin the

community. Unlike The host of pernicious qaacke-
RES, 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. Ihcy
are entirely composed Of extracts from rare ana
powerful plants, the virtues OF which, thoush long

happily efficacIons a combination.
Their frat operation is to loosen from the coats OF
the stomach aud bowels, the various impurities and
crudities constantly settling around them and 10
remove the hardened faces which collect IN the con
voiutions fthe small intestines. Other medicines
only partially cleanse these, and leave such collect
ed masses behind as TO produce habitual costiveness,
with all its train OF evils, or sudden dIarrhoa, with
its imminent dangers. The fact is well known TO
all Irregular anstomIsts,w hoexamine the human bow

Of these invaluable Pills was himself afflicted with
this complaint for upwards of thirty Jfut years, and
that he tried ia vain every remedy prescribed with
in he whole compass of the Materla Medlca. He

now offers to the public. and he was cured in 3 very

FACTS FoR MOTHERS AND NuRsEs.-It 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 ~lnfantine Health,
