Z THE LIFE MEDICINES-GENERA Re
MARKS.
/ These medicines are indebted for their name TO
their manifest and sensible action in purifying the
springs and channels Of life, and enduing them with
renewed tone and yigor, and TO the aadoubsed iact
that al very early period In their history they
had rescued sufferers from the verge OF an I'M
timely grave, after all the deceptive nostrums OF
the day, prescribed by physicians had utterly fail
ed, in which cases they also permanently secured
that uniform enjoyment Of health, without which
life itself is but partial blessing. So great, in
deed had their efficacy invariably proved, that it
was scarcely less than miraculous TO those who
were unacqaainted with the beautifully pbiosophi-
cal principles upon which they were compromised,
and upon which they consequently act.
The PHgsIx BiTTERs are so called, because
they possess the power Of restoring the expiring
embers of health, 10 glowing yigor throughout the
constitution, the Phenix is said to be restored to
life from the ashes Of its own dissolution. The
Phoenix Btters are entirely vegetable, composed OF
roots found only in certain parts of the Western
country. which will infailibly cure FEVERS AND

The proprietor rejoices in the opportunity afford
ed 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 perncious quacke-
ries, which boast Of vegetable ingredients, the
Life Pills purely and SOLELY vEGETABLE, aud
contain neither Mercury, Antimony, Arsenic, nor
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 10 several Indian tribes aud recently 10 some
eminent phi mists, are altogether un-
known 10 the ignorant pretendcrs 10 medical sci
ence and were never before administered IN SO
happily efficacious combination.
Their first operation is 10 loosen from the coats OF

Common Colds and Influenza will always be cured

Piles, a remedy for this most distressing and
obstinate malady, the Vegetable Life Pills deserve
distinct and emphatic recommendation. Its we'll
known to hundreds in this city, that the originator
Of these valuable Pills himself afflicted with
this complaint for upwards of thirty fire gears aud
that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed with.
in the whole compass OF the Matcria Mcdica. He
however, al length, tried the medicine which he
now offers TO the public, and he cured in very
short time after his recovery had been pronounced
not only improbable, but absolutely impossible, by
any human means.
