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 cerfcated instances, they have even rescued
sufferers from the very verge of an untimey
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 infalibly 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

Unlike the host of perncious quackeries which
boast of vegetable ingredients, the LIFE MEDI.
CINES are purely and solely vegetable; and
contain neither Mercury, nor ntimony, 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 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 eiicacous
q combination.
The first operation is to loosen from the coats
of the stomach and bowels the various inpuri-
ties and crudties constantly settling round them
and to remove the hardened faces which collect
in the convolutions of the small inteskales. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind to produce habituai
Costiveness, with all its train OF evils or sudden
Diarrhna with its 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-informed men against
the ouaclz medicines of the age. The second
effect of the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDI-
GTNFS is to cleanse the kidneys ana the bad
der: and. by this means, the liver and lungs,
the healthrul 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
bv food coming from a clean stomach, courses
freely through the veins, rcnews every part OF
the system, and triumphantly mounts the BAN
ner of health in the blooming cheek
