On the other hand an overabundance of bile caus-

times end in death =.

RHEUM ATISM.-M Life Medicines have
performed the most extraordinary cures of Gout,
Rheumatism, and chrome complaints Of all kinds,
when used with perseverance. They should how
ever be taken strictly according to the directions
The Phoenix Biueis airs so called, because they
possess the power Of restoring the expiring embers
of health to a glowing vigor through the constitu
ton as the Phoenix Is said to be restored TO life
from the ashes OF its own dissolution. The Phnnix
Bitters are entirely vegetable, composed OF roots
found ONLY in certain parts of the western country
which will infallibly cure FEVERS AND AGUES
of all kinds, will fail eradicate entirely all
the effects of mercury, infinitely sooner than the

Unlike the host Of perncious quackeries which
boast OF vegetable Ingredients, the Life Pills are
purely and SOLELY VEGETABLE, free from Mercu

any form whatever They entirely composed
of extracts from rare and powerful plants, the vIr-
tues of which, though long known TO several In
dian tribes, and recently to some eminent phar.
maceutica chemists, are altogether unknown to
the ignorant pretenders to medical science; and
were never before administered in so happily eff.

Their first operation is to loosen from the coats
of the stomach and bowels, the various impurities
and crudites constantly settling around them; and

collected masses behind 20 produce habtuaI cos
tveness, with all train of evils, sudden diarr
hpa, with its imminent dangers. This fact is well
known all regular auatomsts, who examine the
human bowels after death and hence the pejudice
of these well informed men against the quack med
icines of the age. The second effect of the VEG
ETABLE LIFE PILLS is to cleanse the kidneys
and the bladder, and by this MEANS the liver and
the lungs the healthfui action of which entirely de
ponds upon the healthy action of the urinary or.
