Immediately determined to offer to the world

his life, but his happiness. The uniform

intrinsic merit.
THE LIFE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 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 sut-
terers from the very verge OF an untimely
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 q partial bless
ing. So great indeed had their efficacy in

than miraculous to those who were unac.

THE PHOENIX BIT1 ERS 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
nshes of its own dissolution. The Phoenix
Bitters are entirely vegetable, composed OF
routs found only in certain parts of the west
crn country, which will infallibly 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 Sarshparilla, and
will Immediately cure the determination OF
BLOOD TO THE HEAD; never fail in the
sickness incident 10 young females; and will be
found certain remedy in all cases of nerU-
Gus debility and ,oeakness Of the most impaired
constitutions. AS Il remedy for Chronic and
InRGmmatory Rheumatism, 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 quackcres,
which boast of vegetable ingredients, the
Lite Pills are purely and 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
eral Indian tribes, and recently to some en-
jncnt pharmaceutical chemists, are alto
gether unknown to the ignorant pretenders
To medical science and were never before
administered 10 SO happily etiicacious 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
faces which collect in the convolutions of
the small intes:ines. Other medicines only
partially cleanse these, and leave such col
lected masses behind as to produce habitual
costiveness, with all its train of evils, or sud
den diarrhRa, with its imminent dangers
This fact is well known to all regular anato-
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 the We
GETABLE LIFE PILLS is 10 cleanse the
kidneys and the bladder, and by this means
the 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 agencysof the
liver and the lungs before it passes into the
heart, being thus purified by them, and
nourishcd by food coming from a 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 We
ge,abie Life Pills are we'll known to be in
fallible:
DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the
first and second stomachs, and creating a
flow of pure healthy bile, instead of the stale
and acrid kind ;-Flatulency. PaIpitatlon OF
