Gus and fourishing merchant in the lower
part of the city; and having consulted and
employed a number of our most skilful ply.
sicianS, he, after months of suffering, was
prevailed upon to purchase the recipe of the
invaluable vegetable preparation now Offer
ed to the public.
The effect of the Life Medicines in his own
case was SO singular and remarkable, that he
Immediately determined to offer to the world
a medicine to which he had not only owed
his life, but his happiness. The uniform
success which has since attended their ad-
mlnlstration in every instance, where fair
trial has been given them, has been atteSed
by thousands, and incontestibly proves their
intrinsic merit.
Tie LIFE MEDICINEs-GENERAL REMARKS.
These medicines are indebted for their name

endung them with renewed tone and vigor,
and TO the undoubted fact that at very early
period in the;.==- story they had rescued sui.
j ferers from the very verge of AN un,imely
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 4

THE PHOENIX BITTERS are SO called
because they possess the power of restoring
the expiring embers of health, to a glowing
vigor throughout the constitution, as the
Phoenix is said to be restored to life from the
ashes of its own dissolution. The Phoenix
Bitters are entirely vegetable, composed of
roots found only in certain parts of the west
ern country, which will infalfibly cure
FEVERS AND AGUES of all kinds; will
never fail to eradicate entirely all the effects
of Mercury, infinitely sooner than the most
powerful preparations of Sarsaparilla, and
will Immediately cure the determination of
BLOOD TO THE HEAD; never fail in the
sickness incident to young females; and will be
found certain remedy in all cases of '.erv;
Gus debility and weakness of the most impaired
constitutions. AS remedy for Chronic ana
I InaanlmGtory Rheumatism, the efficacy of the
! Phoenix Bitters will be demonstrated by the
use of single bottle.
