Origin of the Life Medicines.
THE reader may not perhaps be aware
IL that the origin of Moffats Life Medi-
cines was the result off protracted and pain
full illness of their originator, Mr.. John Moi
fat. When taken i'll, Mr.. M. was prosper
Gus and flourishing 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-
ministration in every instance, where fair
trial has been given them, has been attested
bv 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 very early
period in their history they had rescued sut-
fcrers 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 partial bless
ing. So great indeed had their efficacy in
variably proved, that it was scarcely less
than miraculous to those who were unac-
qua,nted with the beautifully philosophical
principles upon which they were compound
ed, and upon which they consequently act.
THE PHOENIX BITI Frs 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
Bnters are entirely vegetable, composed OF
roots found only in certain parts of the west
ern country, which will infallibiy cure
FEVERS AND AGUES of all kinds; will
never fail TO eradicate entirely all the effects
of Mercury, infinitely sooner than the most
..,owerful preparations of Sarsaparilla, and
will Immediately cure the determination of
BLOOD TO TIE HEAD; never fail in the
sickness incident to young females; and will be
found n certain remedy in all cases OF nerr-
Gus debility and ,ceaknesS of the most impaired
constitutions. Asa remedy for Chronic and
Inaammatory Rheumatism, the efficacy of the
Phoenix Bitters will be demonstrated by the
use of single bottle.
The proprietor rcjoices 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 host Of pernicious quackeries,
which boast Of vegetable ingredients, the
Lite Pills are purely and SOLELY VEGETABLE,
mi
Arsenic, ncr any other mineral, in any form
whatever. They IRE entirely composed Of
extracts from rare and powerful plants, the
virtues of which, though long known TO sew
eral Indian tribes, and recently to some em-
iDcnt pharmaceutical chemists, are Alto
gether unknown to the ignorant preteDders
to medical science and were never before
administered in SO happily efficacious COM
bination.
Their first operation is 10 loosen from the
coats of the stomach and bowels, the various
impurities and crudities constantly settling
around them; and to remove the hardened
faces which collect in the convolutions of
the small intes:ines. Other medicines only
partially cleanse these, and leave such col
lected masses behind as to produce habitual
costiveness, with all its train of evils, or sud-
den diarrhea, with its imminent Dangers
i
mists, who examine the human bowels after
death and hence the prejudice of these we'll
informed men against the quack medicines
of the age. The second effect of the We
GETABLE LIFE PILLS is to cleanse the
kidneys and the bladder, and by this means
the liver and the lungs, the healthful action
of which entirely depends upon the regulari-
~ 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 Ve-
getabie Life Pills are well known to be in.
