'OrigSss Of xlse Lifc .1Yedscilses. THE reader may not perhaps be aware
 [, that the origin of Moffa;'s Life Medi- 'cines was the result of a protracted and pain fai illness of their originator, MT. John Mof- fat. When taken i'll, Mir. M. was prosper ous and fourishing 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 offer- 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 0 medicine to which he had not only owed 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.
 IKE LIFE MEDlclNEs-GENERAL REMARKS. These medicines are indebted for their name to their manifest and sensible action in pu- Tifying the springs and channels of life, and enduiDg them with renewed tone and vigor, and to the undoubied fact that at very early
  ferers from the very verge of an untimely grave, after aii the deceptive nostrums of the day, prescribed by physicians, had utterly fniled, in which cases thcT also permanently secured that uniform enjoyment of health, without which life itself IS but partial bless. ing. So great indeed had their efficacy in- varably proved, that it was scarcely less tisan miraculous to those who were unac- quaunted with the beautifully philosophical principles upon which they were compound cd, and upon which they consequently act.
 THE PHGNIX BIT1 FRS are 50 called because they possess the power of restoring the expiring embers of health, to a glowing visor throughout the constitution, as the Phoenix is said to be restored to life fro n the ashes of its own dissolution. The Phoenix Btters are entirely vegetable. composed of roots found only in certain parts of inc west ern country, which wilt infallibiy 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 Sarsapariila, and will immediately cure the determination of BLOOD TO TIE HEAD; never fail in the sickness incident 10 young females; and will be found certain remedy in all cases of nerU- Ous debility and ,oeaknesS of the most impaired constitutions. As a remedy for Chronic and
 
 PhGnix Bitiers 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 perncious quackeries, which boast of vegetable ingredients, the Life Pills are purely and SOLELY VEGETABLE, and contain neither Mercury, Antimony, 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 10 some em. inent pharmaceutical chemists, are alto xether unknown to the ignorant pretenders to medical science and were never betore administered in so happily efficacious 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 tHces which collect in the convolutions of the small intessines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such col leeted masses behind as to produce habitual costiveness, with all it's train of evils, or sud- den diarrhea, with its imminent dangers 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 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 nourished by food coming from a clean sto- mach, courses freely through the veins, re- news every part of the system. and triumph anfiy 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:
