Celebrated Phoenix Bittcrs
AND
VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS.


OF Moilzi's Life Medicines was the result Of pro-
uacied aud painful illness Of their originator Mr.
JOAN MoFFAT. When taken III, Mr. NJ. was
prosperous and honFishipg merchant IN the lower
part OF the city and having consulted and employ-
ed number OF our most skiiui physicians, he, after
months Of suffering, prev allied upon TO purchase
the recipe Of the Invaluable vegetable preparation
now offered to the public
The effect Of the Life Medicines, IN biz own ease,
was singular and remark able, thah he immediately
determined offer TO he world medicine 10 which
he not only owed his life, but his happiness The
uniform success which has since attended their ad
minisraton IN every instance, where far trial has
been given them, has been attested by thousands,
and ucontestibly proves their intrinsic merit.
THE LIFE MEDICINES GENERAL RE-
MARKS.
These medicines are indebted for their name to
their manifest and sensible action in purifying the
springs aud channels OF life, aud epduug them with
renewed tone and vigor, aud TO the andoubcd TACT,
that at very early period in their history they
had rescued sufferers from the very verge oil an na
timely grave, alter all the deceptive nostruins OF
the day prescribed BY physicians, had utterly iaii

The proprietor rejoces ia the opportunity ahord-
ed by the universal diffusion of the press for placing
his VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES within the
knowledge aud reach OF every ndis idaai IN the
community. Unlike the host Of pernicious quacke-
ries, which boast of vegetable ingredients, the
Life Pills are purely aud SOLELY VEGETABLE, and
contain neither Mercury, Antimony, Arsenic, nor
any other mineral, 10 any form whatever. They
are entirely composed Of extracts from rare and
powerful plants, the virtues OF which, though long
known to several Indian tribes and recently tosome
eminent pharmaceutical chemists, are altogether un-
known 10 The ignorant pretenders TO medical sci.
ence; and we're never before administered IN so
happily efiicacious combination.
Their first operation is to loosen from the coats OF
the stomach and bowels, the var ious impurities and
crndiiies constantly settling around them; and TO
remove the hardened fHces W hch collect III the con
volutions OF the small intesiines. Other medicines
only partially cleanse these. ndleaye such collect

its imminent dangers. The fact is well known 10
allreguar anstomists, W In anime the human bow

Piits.-ss a remedy for this most distressing and
obstinate malady, the Vegetable Life Pills deserve
distinct and eDph attic recommendation. Ii is well
known TO hundreds in this city, that the originator
Of these inv auable Pills himself afflicted with
this complaint for upwards OF hirty frt years. and
that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed with
in the whole compass Of the Matcria Medica. He
however, al length, tried the medicine which he
now offers the public, and he was cured in very
short time, after his recovery had been
not only improbable, but absolutely impossible, by
any human means.

be particular IN taking the Life Medicines strictly
according 10 the directions II 10 not by spa
