These Medicines have now been before the
public for period of FIFTEEN YEARS, and
during that time have maintained high charac-
ter 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 certi6cated 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 infalliby proved, that it
has appeared scarcely less than miraculous to
those who were acquainted with the beautifully
philosophical principles upon which they are COM
bounded and upon which they consequently act
It 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 pernicous 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-
LrdCLS from rare uuu po"Ciiu PoAA'93 sAAo
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 80 happily efficacious
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 fHces which collect
in the convolutons of the small intestnes. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind to produce habitual
Costiveness, with all it's train of evils, or sudden
Diarrhea with its imminent dangers. This fact
is well -known to all regular ANTAGONISTS who ex-
anime 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 MEDI-
CTNES is to cleanse the kidneys and the blad-
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
riety of human diseases in which the VEGE-
TABLE LIFE MEDICINES are well known

that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed
within the whole compass of the Materia Medica.

nounced not only improbable, but absolutely inn
possible, by any human means.
