GUS and hourishing merchant in the lower
part of the city and having consulted and
employed 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

The effect of the Life Medicines in his own
case was so singular and remarkable, that he
Immediately determined to offer TO the world
medicine to which he had not only owed
his life, but his happiness. The uniform
success which has since attended their ad-

trial has been given them, has been attested
by thousands, and incontestibly proves their
intrinsic merit.
The LIFE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS REMARKS.
Thesamedicines are indebted for their name
to th nanifest and sensible action in pu.

enduing them with reserved tone aud vigor,
and to the undoubted fact that at a very early
period in their history they had rescued suf'
ferers from the very verge of an untimely

secured that uniform enjoyment of health,

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 pernicious 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 nre entirely composed Of
extracts from rare and powerful plants, the
virtues of which, though long known 10 sew
eral Indian tribes, and recently to some en-
jnent pharmaceutical chemists, are alto
gether unknown to the ignorant pretenders
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 crudites constantly settling
around them; and to remove the hardened

the small intestines. 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-
