Life Pills are purely and Solely VEGETABLE, ana

The following are the distressing variety of hui

well known TO be infallible

PuGs,-as a remedy for this most distressing and
obstinate malady, the Vegetable Life Pills deserve
a distinct and emphatic recommendation. IL is well
known 10 hund reds in this city, that the originator
of these invaluable Pills was himself afflicted with
this complaint for upw ards Of thirty fee wears, aud
that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed it'll
in the whole compass Of the Malcria Medica. lie
however, at length, tried the medicine which he
now offers TO the public, and he was cured in a very
short time, after his recovery had been pronounced
not only improbable, but absolutely impossible, by
any human means.
