Of these invaluable Pills was himself afflicted With
this complaint for upw ards of thirty frs years, and
that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed with.
in the whole compass Of the Materia Medica. He
however, al length, tried the medicine which he
now offers TO the public, and he was cured in a very
short time, after his recovery had been pronounced
not only improbable, but absolutely impossible, by
any human means.
All that Mr.. Moffat requires Of his patients is TO
be particular IN taking the Life Medicines strictly
according to the directions II is not by a new spa.

Ia their favor, that he hopes TO gain credit. IL is
alone by the results Of a fair trial.
