 II that the origin of Moffats Life Meat cines was the result of a protracted aud pain full illness of their originator, Mr. John Moi fat. When taken i'll, MT. M. was prosper ous 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 offer cd to the public.
 The effect of the Life Medicines in his own ease was SO singular and remarkable, that he immediately determined to offer to the world . 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.
 TIE LIFE MEDIcNEs-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' ferers 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 partial bless. ing. So great indeed had their efficacy in- variably proved, that it was scarcely less taau miraculous to those who were unac- quainted with the beautifully philosophical principles upon which they were compound. cd, and upon which they consequently act.
 THE PHENIX BITfERS are so called because they possess the power of restoring lAe expiring embers of health, to a glowing vigor Throughout the constitution, us the PhDnix is said to be restored to life from the ashes of it's own dissolution. The Phoenix Bitters arc entirely vegetable, composed of roots found only in certain parts of the west. sra country, which will infallibly cure fEvERS AND AGUES of all kinds will never fail to eradicate entirely all the effects of Mercwry. infinitely snnnsr S suan .:iIo .~J will immediately cure the determination Of BLOOD TO THE HEAD; never fail in the sick,,ess incident to young females; and will be found a certain remedy in all cases of Teru: GUS debility and veakness of the most impaired constitutions. As remedy for Chronic and ln6anmotory Rheumatism, the efficacy of the Phoenix Ritters will be demonstrated by the use of single bottle.
 The proprietor rejoices in the opportunity afforded by the universal diffusion ot tme 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 and SOLELY VEGETABLE and contain neither Mercury, Anthony, Arsenic, ncr any other mineral. in any form whatever. They are entirely composed ot 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 aito' gether unknown to the ignorant pretenders so medical science and were never before administered in so happily eficacious con- bination.
 Their first operation is to loosen from the coats of the stomach and bowels, the various impurities and crudities constantly settling around them; and to remove the hardened tseces which collect in the convolutions oi the small intestines. Other medicines only nartiallv cleanse these, and leave such col. fected masses behind as toproduce habitual costiyeness, with ali its train of evils, or sud Aen diarrhoea, with it's imminent dangers.- This fact is we'll known to all regular anato. sniets. 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 VE' GETABfE LIFE PILLS is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means the liver and the lungs. the healthtul actior Of which entirely depends upon the regulari ty of the urinay organs.
