The Family Life Medicines.

INHE celebrated Life Pills and Phoenix Biuers,
II prepared and sold by DR.. WIN b. Moffat
375 Broadway, New York. may now be said to be
the most respectfully established and extensively
adopted family medicines in the United States
lhcy have not only won the sanction and recon-
menda'ion Of all the candid and philsntbropic por
ton OF the medical profession, who have observed
Their invarable eitac in general arrangements of
The stomach and bowels, and their astonishing eff
ects IN many varieties of acute and chronic disease
bat what is far better these medicines have recon-
mcnded themselves, and fully and fairly achieved
The distinguished and certainly pre-emincnt po-
alton which they now occupy in public and doines-
lie estimation. They proved by their works
and make no appeals to vulgar creduliiy If the
proprietor were disposed to make an nvidious com.
Parison between these self-esiabshed medicines
and any others, he might confidently assert, and
challenge contradiction, that there is no medic
known To the medcal profession, or named in their
books, concerning which 50 many clear unaues-
tonabe and conclusive evidences Of usefulness and
remarkable cures recorded, as those which he
can adduce concerning the Life Pills and Phoenix
Bitters. If it be admitted that sufferers are the
best Judges as to whether remedy has relieved
them and restored them health aud strength
then is the evidence in behalf of these medicines de.
cisive and Irresistible. Dr. Mofat is in possession
of an immense accumulation Of voluntary testirno-
mails from respe etabe persons and families in all
parts OF the Union far and near. who give their
names and residence to the unsolicited statemen,
that have been completely and speedily cured of
the following diseases. and of many Others not here
enumerated, by these Life Medicines alone, when
other medicines had been long employed in vain
viz: Scrofus, in its most dreadfully advanced and
destructive stages. when large portions of the flesh
and bones of the face had been destroyed; Piles OF
hve, ten, twenty thirty, and even thrty-hve years
standing; rheumatism, both acute and CHI onc, of
the most hopeless character Turgescencc of the
Liver, and various other liver complaints; Bilious
Cholic, and every conceivable variety Of bilious af-
tections; Marasmus Tabes, or Decline and Maras.
mus. Phlhisic Consumption, in more advanced
stages than any on record; Dyspepsia, in all its
chronic and acute varieties, with It's frighiful train
of stressng symptoms; Worms of all kinds both

rious and bilious; Costi,eness, both habtual and
occasional Fever and Ague, in its three principal

and Determination Of blood to the head, settled
pains ia The organs limbs back, head and side sf-
feetons of the bladder, kidnies, Spleen throat, and
p'enra, jaundce, dropsy and govt together With
those general affections Of the system which arise
Itoih comphcated causes.
The certificates of these cures are in the proprie-
tors possession, and will readily be shown all
who desire 10 see them. A small selection from
them have been published in Mofal's M edcal Man
ul, Of which and enlarged edition is prepar
ing Tor the press. The reason why these medicines
which in ordinary family operate merely as mild
aud efectua laxatves, cure SO great a vare, of
formidable diseases, is, that while as cathartics
cleansing the alimentaty canal and relieving the
liz. and the absorbent vessels Of all impurities.
they lay the foundation for the cure of all specific
diseases, they compounded Of unique and unpre-
cedcntsd variety Of choice and exquisite ogredi
ents some Of which are almost unknown to the p o.
fession, which exert specific action upon many
complaints, without in the slightest degree affecting
the general system, otherwise than simple puri
hers, when those complaints are not present. Both
the Pills and Biiers mild and agreeable in their
operations causing neither ?rosration nor nausea,
and requiring neither confinement peculiar diet.
Their effects uniformly to produce an immedi-
ate of renovated health and new life and
Nigor TO both body and mind. They cannot be ia
ken without benefit. and they should be procured
both by individuals and heads of families, and con-
stsn,y kept on hand only remedies but
prevenlives of disease. They prepared and
sold wholesale and retail, by DR.. William B. Mof
fat, 375 Broadway, New York, and also by the
