his VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES within the
knowledge and reach Of every individual in the
community. Unlike the host Of pernicious quackc-
ries, which boast Of vegetable ingredients, the
Life Pills are purely aud SOLELY vEeETABLE, and
contain neither Mercury, Anthony, Arsenic, nor
any other mineral, in any form whatever. They
are entirely composed Of extracts from rare and
powerful plants, the virtues OF which, though long
known to several Indian tribes and recently iosomc
eminent pharmace utical che msts. are altogether
known TO the ignorant pretenders to medical sci
enee; and were never before administered in so
happily efhcacious a combination.

the stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
cruditics constantly settling around them; and 10
remove the hardened frces W hch collect in the
