Unlike the host of perncious quackenes wnIcn
q hoast nf vegetable ingredients, the LIFE MED1,
CINES are purely and solely vegetaDe; anu
contain neither Mercury, nor Antlmony, nor
A,,on;o nor nny other mineral, IN any IOrl
whateyer They are entirely composed OF ex-
tracts from rare and powerful plants the virtues
of which, though long known TO seVslal Naa inula"
tribes, and recently to some eminent Pii'i -

The first operation is to loosen from the coats
or the stomach and bowels the various mpuh-
ties and crudities constantly settling round theih

anime the human bowels after death and hence
tbe nreiudice of these we-informed men against
the mack medicines of the age. Inc second
effect of the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDI-
CTNES is to cleanse the kidneys and the Oiau-
der and. bv this means, the liver and lungs

upon the regularity of the urinary organs. Inc

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 veiIfs, 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
to be infallible.

ration in such cases, and the thorough solution Of
all Intestinal obstruction in others.
The LIFE MEDICINES have been known to

is now offered to the public, and he was enred iB
