ORIGIN OF THE LIFE MEDICINES
The reader may not perhaps be aware that the
origin of Moflats Life Medines was the result O
protracted and painful illness Of their origina-
tor, MIR. JOHN MoFFAT. When taken i'll, Mr. NJ.
was prosperous and iiourishing merchant in the
lower part of the city; and having consulted and
employed number Of our most skiliul physicians
he, after months of suffering, was prevailed upon
to purchase the recipe of the invaluable vcgeta-
bic preparation now offered to the public.
The effect of the Life Medicines in his own
case was so singular and remarkable, that lie i'm
mcdiately determined to offer to the world a med
icine to which he not only owed his life, but his
happiness. The uniform success which has since
attended their administration in every instance,
where n fair trial has been given them, has been
attcstcd by thousands and incontestbly proves
their intrinsic merit.
THE LIFE EDICINES-GENEFAL RE
MARKS.
These medicines are indebted for their name
to their manifest and sensible action in purifying
the springs and channels of life, s. enduring them
with renewed tone and vigor, & to the undoubted
fact that at very early period in their history they
Il rescued sufferers from the very verge of an UNI
timely grave, after all the deceptive nostrums o.
the day, prescribed by physicians, had utterly
failed, i'll which cases they also permanently Sc
cured that uniform enjoyment of health, without
winch life itself but partial blessing. So grea.
eednd had their efficacy invariably proved, that
1t was scarcely less than miraculous to those who
were unacquanted with the beautifully philoso-
phical principles upon which they were com
pounded and upon winch they consequently act.
THE PHOENIX BlTTERS are so called,
because they possess the power of restoring en-
bers ofhealth, to glowing vigor Throughout the
constitution, as the Phoenix is said to be restored
to life from the ashes of its own dissolution.
The Phoenix Bitters are entirely vegetable, COM
posed of roots found only in certain parts of the
western country, which will infallibly cure FE-
VERS AND AGuES of all kinds will never
fail to eradicate entirely all the effects of Mercu-
ry, infinitely sooner than the most powerful pre-
parations OF Sarsaparilla, and will Immediately
cure the determination of BLOOD TO THE
HEAD; never fail in the sickness incident to uo,.ng
females; and will be found certain remedy in all
cases of nervous debility and peak,ess of the most
impaired constitutions. As remedy for Chron-
&c and Iljlamatory Rheumatism, the efficacy o.
the Phoenix Bitters will be demonstrated by the
use Of a single bottle.
Tho proprietor rejoces IN tho opportunity af-
forded by the universal diffusion of the press, for
placing his VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
within the knowledge and reach ofevcry individ-
ual i'll the community. Unlike the host of per-
ncious quackercs, which boast of vegetable in
gradients, the Life Pills are purely and SOLELY
VEGETABLE, and contain neither Mercury, Anti
lnony, Arsenic, nor any other mineral. in any
form whatever They are entirely composed of
extracts from rare and powerful plants, the vr-
tues of which, though long. known to several In
dian tribes, and recently to some eminent phar-
maceutral chemists, are altogether unknown to
the ignorant pretcnders to medical science; and
were never before administered in SO happily eft.
iicacious combination.
Their first operation is to loosen from the coats
of the stomach and bowels, the various impure |
ties and crnditcs constantly settling around |
them; and to remove the hardened frces which |
collect in the convolutions ofthe small intestines
Other medicines only partially cleanse these,
and leave such collected masses behind as to pro-
ducc habtual costveness, with all Its train OF evils
or sudden diarrhpa, with its imminent dangers.
This fact swell known to all regular anatolnists
who examine the human bowels after death: and |
hence the prejudice of these well informed men
against the quuck medicines of the age The Sc
cond effect Of the VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS
is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by
this means, the liver and the lungs, the health
ul action Of which entirely depends upon the
