MoFFAT"s LIFE MEDICINES.
GENERAL REMARKS.


These medicines are indebted for their
name 10 their manifest and sensible action in
purifying the springs and channels of life, and
enduing them with renewed tone and vigor,
and to the undoubted fact that At a very early
period in their history they had rescued sut-
iercrs from the very verge of an uniimely
grave, after ali the deceptive nostrums Of the
day, prescribed by physicians, had utterly
failed, in which cases they also permanently
secured that uniform enjoyment of health,
without which life itself is but a partial
blessing.
A supreme remedy for farer and ague, and BIZ
hious ftrers No remedy in the world equal
TO Mofat's LIFE PILLS and PHGSrx srrrEns
Prescriptions for the manner of taking these
medicines maybe had from any Of the agents
