a partial blessing. So great, indeed, has their

boast Of vegetable ingredients, the LIFE MEDI-
CTNES 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, the virtues
of which, though long known to several Indan
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 50 happily ethcaclous
q combination.

Of the stomach and bowels the various impure
ties and crudities constantly settling round them;

such collected masses behind to produce habltual
Cosveness, with all its train of evils, or sudden

the bealthful action of which entirely depends
upon the regularity of the urinary organs. The

of the liver and lungs, before it passes into the
heart, being thus purified by them, and nourished
by food coming from clean stomach, courses
freely through the veins, rcneWs every part of
the system, and trumphantly mounts the ban
