Life Pills and Phgnix Bitters.

,rra.. N,a;o;nas have now been before the
nnblcs for a period of FIFTEEN YEARS, and
during that time have maintained a high charac-
ter I'm 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 untnneiy
grave. after all the deceptive nostruins OF the oay
had utterly failed |; and to many thousands they
have permanently secured that uniform ENJOY
nleut of health, without which life Itself Is Dut
partial blessing. So great, indeed, has tleir
efficacy invariably and infallibly proved that 1t
! 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
r was to their manifest and sensible action IN
nurifvinu the springs and channelsof life, and en-
dining them with renewed tone and vlgor, that
thew were indebted for their name -
Unlike the host of perncious qnackerles which
boast of vegetable Ingredients, the LIFE MEDI-
cTNES are purely and solely vegetable; and
contain neither Mercury, nor Antlmony, nor
Areeuio nor any other mineral, III 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-
tical chemists are altogether unknown to the
ignorant pretenders to medical science and were
never before administered in so happily effcacous
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 fteces which collect
in the convolutions of the small intestnes. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind to produce habltua
Costiveness, with all its train of evils, or sudden
Darrhea with its imminent dangers. This fact
is well-known to all regular anatoinsts who ex-
anime the human bowels after death ; and hence
the prejudice of these wel-inforIned men against
the quack medicines of the age. The second
effect of the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDl-
CTNES is to cleanse the kidneys and the blad-
der: and by this MEANS the liver and lungs,
the heaIthful action of which entirely depends
upon the regularity of the urinary organs The
blood which takes its 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
retv of human diseases in which the VEGE-
TABLE LIFE MEDICINES are well known
to be infallibe.
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, REsrL LEssNEss, 1LL-IEMPER,
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 ntestnes with solvent process, and
all, fha
bowels costive within two days.
DiarThna and Cholera, by removing the
sharp acrid fluids by which these complaints are
occasioned, and by promoting the lubricatiye Sc
erection of the mucous membrane.
Fevers Of all kinds, by restoring the blood to
regular circulation through the process of perspl-
ration in such cases, and the thorough solution Of
all Intestinal obstruction in 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
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
removed, becomes hardened, and produces these
dreadful diseases.
Scuryy. Ulcers, and Inveterate Sores, by
the perfect purity which these LIFE MEDI-
CTNES 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-
sions all eruptive complaints, sallow, cloudy, and
other disagreeable compilations.
The use of these Pills for very short time
will effect 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
eases
PILES AS a remedy for this most distressing
and obstinate malady, the VEGETABLE LIFE
MEDICINES deserve 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
compaint for upwards of THIRTY FIVE YEARS and
that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed
within the whole compass of the MateriG Medica.
He however at length tried the Medicine which
is now offered to the public, and he was cured in
a very short time after his recovery had been pro-
nounced not only improbable, but absolutely inn
possible, by any human means s-aa
FEVER AND AGUE. gsa
For this scourge of the western country these
Medicines will be found safe, speedy, and cer-
tain remedy. Other medaines leave the system
subject to return of the disease--a cure by these
