The effect of the Life Medicines in his own

Immediately determined to offer 10 the world

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
by thousands, and incontestibly proves their
intrinsic merit.
The LIFE MED1c1NEs-GENERAL REMARKS.
These medicines are indebted for their name
to their manifest and sensible action in pu-
rifying the springs and channels of life, and
enduing them with renewed tone and vigor,
and to the undoubted fact that at a very early
period in their history they had rescued sui:

secured that uniform enjoyment of health,
without which life itself is but partial bless

ed, and upon which they consequently act.
THE PHOENIX BITTERS are so called
because they possess the power of restoring
the expiring embers of health, 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, composed of
routs found only in certain parts of the west
ern country, which will infallbiy 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 Sarsaparilla, and
will Immediately cure the determination of

sickness incident to young females and will be

constitutions. As remedy for Chronic and
Inaamnotory Rheumatism, the efficacy of the
Phoenix Bitters will be demonstrated by the
use of single bottle.

afforded by the universal diffusion of the

MEDICINES within the knowledge and

Unlike the host Of pernicious quackeries,
which boast Of vegetable ingredients. the
Lite Pills are purely and SOLELY VEGETABLE,
and contain neither Mercury, Anthony,

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
faces which collect in the convolutions of
the small intes;ines. Other medicines only
partially cleanse these, and leave such coll
lected masses behind as to produce habitual

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 tho We
GETABLE LIFE PILLS is to cleanse the
kidneys and the bladder, and by this means
the liver and the lungs, the healthful action
of which entirely depends upon the regulari-
ty of the urinay organs. The blood, which
takes its 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-
