Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters.
These Medicines have now been before the
public for period of FIFTEEN YEARS, and
during that time have maintained high charac-
tor in almost every part of the globe for 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 cert6cated instances, they have even rescued
sufferers from the very verge of an untimely
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
partial blessing. So great, indeed, has their
efficacy invariably and nfallibly 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
1t was to their manifest and sensible action in
purifying the springs and channels of life, and en-
DUNG them with renewed tone and vigor, 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
ArseY1ic. 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 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 eficacious
a 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 faces which COLLECT
in the convolutions of the small intestnes OTHER
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind to produce habtual
Costiveness, with all its train of evils, or sudden
Diarrhea with it's imminent dangers. This fact
is well-known to all regular anatomists who ex-
anime the human bowels after death and hence
the prejudice of these well-nformed men against
the auack medicines of the age. The second
effect of the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDI-
CINES is to cleanse the kidneys and the bad-
der !; and, by this means, the liver and lungs,
the heathful 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 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
rietv of human diseases in which the VEGE-
TABLE LIFE MEDICINES are well known
10 be infallble.
DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the
first and second stomachs, and creating flow OF
pure healthy bile, instead of the stale and acrd
kind Flatulency, Loss OF APPETITE, HEART
BURN, HEADACHE, REsTLEssNEss, 1LL-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 ntestines with a 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
oecasonsd, and by promoting the lubricative Sc
cretion of the mucous membrane
Fevers of all kinds, by restoring the blood to a
regular circulation, through the process of persnl
ration in such cases, and the thorough solution
all intestinal obstruction in others
) The LIFE MEDICINES have been known to
cure Rheumatism permanently in three weeks,
and G0ut in half that time, by removing local
Inflammation from the muscles and ligaments of
the joints.
Dropsies of all kinds, by freeing and strength
ening 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 dislodging 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
'emoved, becomes hardened, and produces these
dreadful diseases.
Scurvy, 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
i0ns by their alternative effect upon the fluids that
feed the skin, and the morbid state of which occa-
sions all eruptive complaints, salow, cloudy, and
other disagreeabe compilations.
The use of these Pills for a very short timo
will effect an entire cure of Salt Rheum, and
striking improvement in the cearness of the skin.
Common Colds and Influenza will always be
cured by one dose, or by two even in the worst
cases.
PILES, AS remedy for this most distressing
and obstinate maady, the VEGETABLE LIFE

valuable Medicines was himself afflicted with this
complaint for upwards of THIRTY-FIvE YEARS and
that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed
WIlole VI tiIc 4Hntef w
He however at length tried the Medicine which
is now offered to the public, and he was cured in
q very short time, after his recovery had been pro-
nounced not only improbable, but absolutely i'm
possible, by any human means

tain remedy. Other medicines leave the system

medicines is pcnnanent-TRY THEM, BE
