 Origin 0f tlte Eife sEEeGici2eeS, FNaHE reader may not perhaps be aware Il that the origin of Moffa,'s Life Medi cines was the result of a pfotracted and pain ful iilness of their originator, MT. John Moi r' fat. When taken itl, Mr. M. was prosper ous and fiourishing merchant in the lower part of the city and having consulted and employed a number of our most skIiful 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 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 hy thousands, and incontestibly proves their intrinsic merit.
 THE LIFE MEpICrNEs-GENERAL REMARKS. These medicines are indebted for their name tO their manifest and sensible action in pu. Yffyirg the springs and channels of life, and endujng them with renewed tone and vigor, and to the undoubted fact that at a very early period in their history they had rescued sui terers from the very verge of an untinety 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- variably proved, that 1t 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 PHOENIX BITT FRS are so called hecause they possess the power of restoring the expiring embers of health, to glowing. vigor throughout the constitution, us the Phoenix is said to be restored to life from the ashes of it's own dissolution. The Phenix Bnters are entirely vegetable, composed of roots found only in certain parts of the west ern country, which will infallibly 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 Sarsaparilia, and will immediately cure the determination oi BLOOD TO THE HEAD; never fail in the sickness incident to young females; and will be found n certain remedy in all cases of neru- oms debility and ,Oeak'sess of the most impaired constitutions. As a remedy for Chronic and Injiammatory Rheumatism, the efficacy of the Phoenix Dilters will Dc demonstrated by the pse of single bottle.
 The proprietor reloices in the opportunity afforded by the universal diffusion of the press, for placing his VEGETABLE LIFE reach of every individual in the community. Unlike the host of pernicious 9uackeres, which boast of vegetable ingredients, the life Pills are purely and SOLELY VEGETABLE, and contain neither Mercury, Autimony, 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. era, Indian tribes, and recently to some em. inent pharmaceutical chemists, are alto gether unknown to the ignorant pretenders to medical science and were never before administered in so happily etficacious con- 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 tRces which collect in the convolutions ot the small intes:ines Other medjcines only partially cleanse these, and leave such col iected masses behind as to produce habtual costiveness, with all its train of evils, or sud den diarrhoea, with its 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 VE- 'GETABLE LIFE PILLS is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, anu uy ;;ssls means the liver and the lungs, the healthtul action of which entirely depends upon the regulari- xv of the urinav organs. The blood, which takes it's 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 .nntly mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek.
 Thefollowing are among the distressing variety of human diseases, to which the We ge,able Life Pills are we'll known to be in .falIibie:
 DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing thu fiest and second stomachs, and creating flow of pure healthy bile, instead of the stal' >. and acrid kind ;-Flatulency, Palpitation o -ahe Heart, Loss of Appetite. Heartburn an, Headache, Restlessness, Ill-temper, Anxiety Languor and Melancholy, which are the ge neral symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vanish as natural consequence of its cure. Cost iyeness, by cleansing the whole length ofth iDtestines with solvent process. and withoU violence all violent purges leave the bowel eostive within two days. DiarrheG an Cholera, by removing the sharp acrid fluid hv which these complaints are occasionet and bv promoting the lubricative secretion of the mucous membrane. Fepers Of all kind hy restoring the blood to regular circuls
