OTSgSae Of t]ee Life Medicines. THE reader may not perhaps be aware II that the origin of Mofat's Life Medi. cines was the result of a protracted and pain Full illness of their originator, MT. John Moi: Tat. When taken ill, Mr. M. was prosper eous and hourishing merchant in the lower part of the city and having consulted and employed number of our most skilful phy. sicians, he, after months of suffering, was prevailed upon to purchase the recipe of the Invaluable vegetable preparation now otfer- 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 kfeA 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.
 TIE LIFE MED1crNEs-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 very early period in their history they had rescued suf'  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 partial bless ing. So great indeed had their efficacy in- variably proved, that it 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 PHGNIX BITTERS are so called because they possess the power of restoring the expiring e!!n.hara of health, to glowing vigor throughout the constitution, as the Ph0nix is said to be restored to life from the ashes of it's own dissolution. The Phoenix Bitters are entirely vegetable, composed of roOts found only in certain parts of the west ern country, which will infallibiy cure FEVERS AND AGUES of all kinds; will never fail to eradicate entirely all tbe effects of Mercury, infinitely sooner than the most powerful preparations of Sarsaparilla, and will immediately cure the determination of BLOOD TO THE HEAD; never fail in the sickness incident to yOung females; and will be found certain remedy ? all cases 0f nerp. GUS debility and soeakness oi tne most impaired constitutions. As remedy for Chronic and Inhommsiory Rheumatisna, the efficacy of the Phoenix Bitters will be demonstrated by the use of single bottle.
 The proprietor rejoices in the opportunity afforded 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 pernicious quackeries, which boast of vegetable ingredients, the Lie Pills are purely aud SOLELY VEGETABLE, and contain neither Mercury, Anthony, 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 sev- eral Indian tribes, and recently to some em- inent pharmaceutical chemists, are alto- gether unknown to the ignorant pretenders to medical science; and were never betore administered in so happily efiicacious com- 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 taces which collect in the convOIutions of the small intestines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such col iected masses behind as to produce habitual costiyepess, with all it's train of evils, or sud
  This fact is we'll known to all regular anato- mists, who examine the human bowels after death and hence the prejudice of these we'll 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, and by this means ahe liver and the lungs. the healthtul 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 aiver and the lungs before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them, and inourished by food coming from clean sto- mach. courses freely through the veins. re- news every part of the system. and triumph antlY mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek.
 The following are among the distressing variety of human diseases. to which the Ve- getable Life Pills are we'll known to be in. fallible
