Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters.


public for period of FIFTEEN YEARS, and
during that time have maintained high charac-
ter in almost every part of the globe tor their ex-
traordinary and immediate power OF restoring per-
feet health to persons suffering under nearly every
kind Of disease to which the human frame is liable.
IN MANY THOUSANDS
of certifcated instances, they have even rescued
sufferers from the very verge of an untlmely
grave, after all the deceptive nostrums of the day
had utterly failed and to many thousands they
have permanently secured that uniform enjoy
ment of health, without which life itself is but
q partial blessing. So great, indeed, has their
efficacy invariably and mfalliby proved, that it
has appeared scarcely less than miraculous to
those who were acquainted with the beautifully
philosophical principles upon which they are COM
pounded, and upon which they consequently act.
It was to their manifest and sensible action IN
purifying the springs and channels of lfe and en-
DUNG them with renewed tone and vgor, that
they were indebted for their name.
Unlike the host of pernicious quackeries which
boast of vegetable ingredients, the LIFE MEDI..
CINES are purely and solely vegetable; and
contain neither Mercury, nor Anthony, nor
Arsenic, nor any other mineral, IN any form
whatever. They are entirely composed of ex-
tracts from rare and powerful plants tne virtues
of which, though long known to several Indian
tribes, and recently to some eminent pharmaceu-
teal chemists, are altogether unknown to the
ignorant pretenders to medical science and were
never before administered in so happily etficacious
combination.
The first operation is to loosen from the coats
of the stomach and bowels the various impure
ties and crudities constantly settling round them
and to remove the hardened feces which collect
in the convoutions of the small intes6nes Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind to produce hnbtual
Costiveness, with all its train Of evils, or sudden
DiarrhGa with its imminent dangers. This fact
is well-known to all regular ANTAGONISTS who ex-
amine 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 VEGETABLE LIFE MEDh
CINES is to cleanse the kidneys and the bad-
der f.; and, by this MEANS the liver and lungs,
the healthful action of which entirely depends
upon the regularity of the urinary organs. The
blood which takes it's red color from the agency
of the liver and lungs, before it passes into the
heart being thus purified by them, and nourished
by food coming from a clean stomach, courses
freely through the veins, reneWs every part OF
the system, and triumphantly mounts the ban
ner of health in the blooming cheek.
The following are among the distressing va
rety of human diseases in which the VEGE-
TABLE LIFE MEDICINES are well known
TO be infaible
DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the
first and second stomachs, and creating flow OF
pure healthy bile, instead of the stale and acrid
kind Flatulency, Loss OF APPETITE, HEART
BURN, HEADACHE, REsTLEssNEss, lLL-TEMPER,
ANXIETY, LANGUoR, and MELANCHOLY, which
are the general symptoms of Dyspepsia, will
vanish, as natural consequence of its cure,
Costiveness, by cleansing the whole length
of the intestnes with solvent process, and
without violence all violent purges leave the
bowels costive within two days.
Diarrhea and Cholera, by removing the
sharp acrid fluids by which these complaints are
occasoned, and by promoting the lubricative So
cretion of the mucous membrane.
Fevers of all kinds, by restoring the blood toa
regular circulation through the process of persni
ration in such cases, and the thorough solution
all intestinal obstruction i'll others.
The LIFE MEDICINES have been known to
cure Rheumatism permanently in three weeks,
and Gout in half that time, by removing local
Inflammation from the muscles and ligaments OF
the joints.
Dropsies of all kinds, by freeing and strength
enng the kidneys and bladder: they operate most
delightfully."- on these important organs, and hence
have ever been found certain remedy for the
worst cases of Gravel.
Also Worms, by dslodging from the turnings
of the bowels the Shiny matter to which these
creatures adhere.
Asthma and Consumption, by relieving the
air-vessels of the lungs from the mucous which
even slight colds will occasion, and which, if not
removed, becomes hardened and produces these
dreadful diseases.
Scurvv, Ulcers, and Inveterate Sores, by
the perfect purity which these LIFE MEDI-
CINES give to the blood, and all the humors.
Scorbutic Eruptions and Bad Complex
ions by their Alternative effect upon the fluids that
feed the skin, and the morbid state Of which occa
sons all eruptive complaints, salow, cloudy, and
other disagreeable compilations.
The use of these Pills for very short timo
will effect an entire cure of Salt Rheum, and
striking improvement in the clearness of the skin.
Common Colds and Influenza will always be
cured by one dose, or by two even in the worst
cases.
PILES. AS a remedy for this most distressing
and obstinate malady, the VEGETABLE LIFE
MEDICINES deserve a distinct and emphatic
recommendation. 1t is well-known to hundreds
in this city, that the former proprietor of these
valuable Medicines was himself afflicted with this
complaint for upwards of TH1RTY-r1vE YEARS and
that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed
within the whole compass of the Materia Medica.
He however at length tried the Medicine which
is now offered to the public, and he was cured in
very short time, after his recovery had been pro-
nounced not only improbable, but absolutely inn
possible, by any human means.
