nent 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
pounded, and upon which they consequently act
1t to their manifest and sensible action in
purifying the springs and channels of life and
DUNG them with renewed tone and vlgor, that
they were indebted for their name.
Unlike the host of pernicious quackeres which
boast 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-
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 efficacious
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 ftHces which collect
in the convoutons of the small intessaes Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind to produce habitual
Costiveness with all its train of evils, or sudden
DiarrhGa 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 welI-nforned men against
the quack medicines of the age. The second
effect of the VEGETABLE LIFE MEDI-
CTNFS is to cleanse the kidneys and the blad-
der and, by this means, the liver and lungs,
the hcathful 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 nourshed
by food coming from clean stomach, courses
freely through the veins, rcncws every part of
the system, and triumphantIy mounts the ban
ncr of health in the blooming cheek.
The following are among the distressing va
rcty of human diseases in which the VEGE-
TABLE LIFE MEDICINES are well known
to be infaihle.
DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the
first and second stomachs, and creating How OF
pure healthy bile, instead Of the stale and acrid
kind; Flatulency, Loss OF APPETITE, HEART
BURN, HEADACHE, REsrLEssNEss, lLL-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 iutestines with solvent process, and
without violence; all violent purges leave the
bowels cosve within two days. '--..--
Diarrhma and Cholera, by removing the
sharp acrld fluids by which these complaints are
occasoned, and by promoting the lubrcative So
erection OF the mucous membrane.
Fevers of all kinds, by restoring the blood to
regular circulation through the process of persni
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 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
enng the kidneys and bladder they operate most
delightfully."- on these important organs, and hence
have ever been found a certain remedy for the
worst cases of Gravel
Also Worms, by dislodging from the turnngs
of the bowels the shiny matter to which there
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.
H., scuryy, Ulcers, and n ,r Sores, BY
CINES 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 dsagrceabe compilations.
The use of these Pills for 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
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
cOmpant for upwards Of THIRTY-FIvE YEARS and
that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed
within the whole compass of the Materia Medica.
He however at length tried the Medicine which
is now offered to the public and he was cured in
very short time, after his recovery had been pro-
nounced not only improbable, but absolutely i'm
possible, by any human means.
FEVER AND AGUE.
For this scourge of the western country these
Medicines will be found safe, speedy, and Ger
tain remedy. Other medicines leave the system
subject to return Of the disease-a cure by these
medicines is permanent-TRY THEM, BE
SATISFIED, AND BE CURED.
Bilious Fevers and Liver Complaints.
General Debility, Loss OF APPETITE, AND
DISEASES OF FEMALEs-these medicines have been
used with the most beneficial results in cases of
this description :-K1NG's EVIL and ScRoFULA, in
its worst forms, yields to the mild yet powerful
action of these remarkable Medicines. NIGnr
SwEATs, NERvoUs DEBILITY, Nervous CON-
PLANTS Of all kinds, PALrITATIoN OF THE HEART,
PAINTERS Colo, are speedily cured.
MERCURIAL DISEASES.
Persons whose constitutions have become i'm
paired by the injudicous of MERCURY, will
find these Medicines perfect cure, as they never
fail to eradicate from the system all the effects of
Mercury infinitely sooner than the most powerful
of Sarsaparilla. A single trial will
place them beyond the reach Of competition, in
the estimation Of every patient.
BE CAREFUL OF COUNTERFEITS.
Several have lately been discovered, and their
nefarious authors arrested, both in the city of New
York and abroad.
