THE LIFE MEDICINES GENERAL RE
MARKS.
These medicines are indebted for their name IN
their manifest and sensible action in purifying the
springs and channels OF life, aud enduing them with
renewed toue aud vigor, aud 10 the nndoabted fact,
that at a very early period in their history they
had rescued sufferers from the very verge OF an no.

that uniform enjoyment OF health. without which

The proprietor rejoices in the opportunity Afford
ed by the universal dus ion OF the press, for placing
his VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES within the
knowledge aud reach OF every individual IN the
community. Unlike the host Of pernicous quacke.
ries, which boast Of vegetable ingredients, the
Life Pills are purely and SOLELY VEGETABLE, and
contain neither Mercury, Autimony, Arsenic, nor
any other mineral, in any form whatever. They
are entirely composed Of extracts from rare and
pow erful plants, the virtues OF which, though long
known TO several Indian tribes aud recently losome
eminent pharm chemists, are altogether nn
known TO the ignorant pretenders TO medical sci
ence and were never before administered IN so
happily eficacious a combination.
Their first operation is TO loosen from the coats OF
the stomach and bowels the van ous impurities and
crudites constantly settling around them ard TO
remove the hardened frees which collect in the
volutons Of the small intesiines. Other medicines
only partially cleanse these and leave such collect
ed masses behind as TO produce habitual costveness,
with all its train of evils sudden darrhaa, with
its imminent dangers. The fact is well known 10
all regular anat omsts, who examine the human bow
els after death, and hence the prejudice Of these
well informed men againstthe quack medicines ofhe
age. The second effect Of the VEGETABLE LIFE
Pills is to cleanse the kidney and the bladder, and
by this means, the liver and the lungs, the health
iul action OF which entirely depends upon the regu'
larity Of the urinary organs. The blood, which
takes its red color from the agency the liver and
the lungs before il passes into the heing thus
purified BY them, aud nourishcd BY food coming
from clean stomach, courses freely through the
! veins, renews every part Of the ~ stem, aud tri-
umphantiy mounts the banner of health in the bloom

however, at length, tried the edicine which he
now offers TO the public, and he was cured in very
