Orsgtss Of the Life .Msdscsses.

Origin Of tbe Lifc .WssSSc6sees. "HE reader may not perhaps be aware Il that the origin of Moffat's Life Medi- >cines was the result of a protracted and pain full illness of their originator, Mir. John Moi. fat. When taken ill, Mir. M. was prosper ous and flourishing merchant in the lower part of the city and having consulted and employed a number of our most skiltul phy- 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 ne immediately determined to offer 10 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- ,ministration in every instance, where fair trial has been given them, has been attested by thousands, and incontestibly proves their intrinsic merit.
 THE LIFE MED1c1NEs-GENERAL REMARKS. These medicines are indebted for their name to their manifest and sensible action in pu. rifying the springs and channels of life, and enduing them with renewed tone and vigor, and to the undoubted fact that at q very early period in their history they had rescued sut' ferers from the very verge of an untimely grave, after all the deceptive nostrums of the day, prescribed by physicians, had utterly failed, in which cases they also permanently secured that uniform enjoyment of health, without which life itself is but a partial bless ing. So great indeed had their efficacy in- yariably proved, that it was scarcely less than miraculous to those who were unac- quainted with the beautifully philosophical principles upon which they were compound ~l snk fhnry onn u n
 THE PHGNIX BITTEKS are so called because they possess the power of restoring the expiring embers of health, to glowing vigor throughout the constitution. as the Phoenix is said to be restored to life from the ashes of it's own dissolution. The Phoenix Bitters are entirely vegetable, composed ot roots found only in certain parts ot the west arc country, which will infallbly cure FEvERS AND AGUH5 ur all KlHus; wlii meyer faii to eradicate entirely aii the effects of Mercury. infinitely sooner than the most powerful preparatio''s of Sarsapar'lla, and will immediately cure the deterlnlnaiion ol BLOOD TO THE HEAD; never fail in the sickness incident to young females; qua W'il oe found certain remedy m all cases oi '.s'o, ,ous debility and DeGkneSs of the most impaired constitutions. As remedy for Chronic and InRammalory Rheumatism, the efficacy of the Phoenix DitterS will be demonstrated by the use of a single bottle.
 The proprietor reio;ces in the opportunity afforded by the universal diffusion of the press, for placing his VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES within the knowledge and reach of every individual in the community. Unlike the hos: of perDicious quackeries which boast of vegetable ingredients, the Lite Pills are purely and SOLELY VEGETABLE and contain neither Mercury, Anthony Arsenic, nCr any other mineral in any form whatever. They are entirely composed oi extracts from rare and powerful plants, the virtues of which, though long known to sev. erai Indian tribes, and recently to some em. inent pharmaceutical chemists, are alto. ge,her unknown to the ignorant pretenders to medical science; and were never before , administered in so happily eflcaciousa com s bination.
 Their first operation is 10 loosen from the eoats of the stomach and bowels, the various impurities and crudities constantly settling around them; and to remove the hardened tnces which collect in the coDvoutions ol the small intcs;ines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such col iected masses behind as to produce habituaI costiveness, with all its train of evils, or sud 6en darrhGa, with it's imminent dangers.- This fact is we'll known to all regular anato. mists, who examine the human bowels after death ; and hence the prejudice of these well informed men against the quack medicines of the age. The second effect of the VIE. -GETABLE LIFE PILLS is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means the liver and the lungs. the healihtul action of which entirely depends upon the regulari' ty of the urinay organs. The blood, which takes its red color from the agency of the liver and the lungs before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them, and nourished by food coming from clean sto- mach, courses freely through the veins, re. news every part of the system, and triumph. antly mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek.
 The following are among the distressing variety of human diseases. to which the We. Retahle Life Pills are well known to be in. fallible:
 DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the first and second stomachs, and creating q flow of pure healthy bile, Instead of :he stale and acrid kind ;-Flatulency, Palpitation o the Heart, Loss of Appetite. Heartburn and Headache, Restlessness, Ili-temper, Anxiety Languor and Melancholy, which are the ge neral symptoms of Dyspepsia. will vanish as a natural consequences of its cure. Cost iveness, by cleansing the whole length ofth. intestines with solvent process. and withou violence all violent purges leave the bowels .costive within two days. Diarrh90 anC Cholera, by removing the sharp acrid fiuid by which these complaints are accustomed and by promoting the lubricative secretioni Ofthe mucous membrane.
