of certifcated instances, they have even rescued
sufferers from the very verge of an untlmely
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
q partial blessing. So great, indeed, has their
efficacy invariably and infallibly 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

purifying the springs and channels of life, and en-

Unlike the host of perncious quackeres which
boast of vegetable ingredients, the LIFE MED1.
CINES are purely and solely vegetable; and
contain neither Mercury, nor Antlmony, 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 efficacous
q combination.
The first operation is to loosen from the coats
of the stomach and bowels the various impure
ties and crudities constantly settling round theln
and to remove the hardened faces which collect
in the convolutons of the small intestAles. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind to produce habtual
Costiveness, with all its train of evils, or sudden
Diarrhea 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-nformed men against
the quack medicines of the age. The second
effect of the VEGETABLE LIFE MED1-
CTNES is to cleanse the kidneys and the bad-
der and, by this means, the liver and lungs,
the healthful action Of which entirely depends
upon the regularity of the urinary organs. The
blood, which takes its red color from the agency
cf the liver and lungs, before it passes into the
heart, being thus purified by them, and nourished
by 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.
The following are among the distressing va
riety of human diseases in which the VEGE-
to be infable.
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, REsTLEssNEss, lLL-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 intestines with solvent process, and
without violence; all violent purges leave the
bowels costive within two days
Diarrhea and Cholera, by removing the
sharp acrid fluids by which these complaints are
occasoned, and by promoting the lubricative Sc
cretion Of the mucous membrane
Fevers of all kinds, by restoring the blood to a
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 lgaments 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 a certain remedy for the
worst cases of Gravel.
Also Worms, by dslodging 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.
Scurvy, Ulcers, and Inveterate Sores, by
the perfect purity which these LIFE MEDI-
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 erupive complaints, sallow, cloudy, and
other disagreeable complexions
The use of these Pills for very short timo
will effect an 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
cases.
PILES, As a remedy for this most distressing
and obstinate malady, the VEGETABLE LIFE
deserve distinct and emphatic
recommendation. 1t is wel-known to hundreds
in this city, that the former proprietor of these
valuable Medicines was himself afflicted with this
complaint for upwards of TH1RTY-FlvE YEARS and
that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed
within the whole compass of the Materia Mcdica.
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 inn
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 a 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
