Gus and fiourishing merchant in the lower
part of the city and having consulted and
employed number of our most skllful ply

prevailed upon to purchase the recipe of the
invaluable vegetable preparation now offer

The effect of the Life Medicines in his own

Immediately determined to offer TO the world
a medicine to which he had not only owed

rifying the springs and channels Of life, and
enduing them with renewed tone and vlgor,
and to the undoubted fact that at very early
period in their history they had rescued suf-
ferers from the very verge of an untimeiy
grave, after all the deceptive nostrums of the
day, prescribed by physicians, had utterly

secured that uniform enjoyment of health,
without which life itself is but partial bless.

Their first operation is 10 loosen from the
