Dr5gSae Of tte L6fc Medicines.

OrigS2e Of tIae L6fc .7NeCyici2seS. VTHE reader may not perhaps be aware l that the origin of Moffat's Life Medl- cines was the result of a protracted and pam full illness of their originator, Mir. John Moi fat. When taken ill, MT. M. was prosper ous and flourishing merchant in the lower part of the city and having consulted and employed a number of our most skllful 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 to the world a nhSicine 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 falr trial has been given them, has been attested by thousands, and incontestibly proves their intrinsic merit.
 THE LIFE MEDIcINEs-GENERAL REMARKS. These medicines are indebted for their name to their manifest and sensible action m pu,, rifying the springs and channels Of 'ile' ana enduing them with renewed tone ana VlSor' and to the undoubted fact that at very early period in their history they had rescued sui 
 grave, after all the deceptive nostrums ot 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- qualnted with the beautifully philosophical principles upon which they were compound ed, and upon which they consequently act.
 THE PHENIX BITI FRS are so called because they possess the power ot restoring the expiring embers of health, to glowing vigor throughout the constitution, us the Phoenix is said to be restored to life iron the ashes of its own dissolution. The PhGnix Btters are entirely vegetable, composed or roots found only in certain parts ot the west crn country, which will intaIlibly 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 Sarsaparllla, 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 nerr- ons debility and ,ceaknesS of the most impaired constitutions. As remedy for ChrOnic aud InAammatory Rheumatism, the efficacy ot the Phoenix Bitters will be demonstrated by the use of single bottle.
 The proprietor reioices 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 perncious 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 of extracts from rare and powerful plants, the virtues of which, though long known to scv- eral Indian tribes, and recently to some em. incnt pharmaceutical chemists, are alto gcther unknown to the ignorant pretenders 10 medical science; and were never before administered in so happily eticacious com, binaiion.
 Their first operation is 10 loosen from the coats of the stomach and bowels, the various impurities and crudites constantly settling around them; and to remove. the hardened 1Rces which collect in the convolutions oi the small intestines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such col lected masses behind as to produce habituaI costivcness, with all it's train of evils, or sud den diarrhRa, with it's imminent dangers.- This fact is well known to all regular anato. mists, who examine the human bowels after death and hence the prejudice of these well informed men against the guack 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 healthtul action of which entirely depends upon the regulari ty of the urinay organs. The blood, which takes its rcd 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 a 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.
 RtThe following are among the distressing variety of human diseases, to which the Ve- getabie Life Pills are well known to be in fallible:
 DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the first and second stomachs, and creating . flow of pure healthy bile, instead of :he stale and acrid kind ;-Flatulency, Palpitation O the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heartburn anc Headache, Restlessness, Ill-temper, Anxiety Languor and Melancholy. which are the ge neral symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vanish iveness, by cleansing the whole length of the intestines with a solvent process. and withou violence all violent purges leave the bowel: costive within two days. DiGrrh9G ant Cholera, by removing the sharp acrid fluids hv which these complaints are occaSioned and bv promoting the lubricative secretion. of the mucous membrane. FeueTs of all kinds by restoring the blood to regular circula tion through the DFOCeSS of perspiratiOn iI
