Life Pills and Phenix BitterS.

These Medicines have now been before the
public for period of FIFTEEN YEARS, and
during that time have maintained high cEarac-
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 certiicated instances, they have even rescued
sufferers from the very verge of an untimeIy
crave. after all the deceptive nostrums of the day
had utterly failed and to many thousands thew
have permanently secured that uniform enjoy
ment of health, without which llte itself is but
. ,ort;al blessing. So great, indeed, has their
ef;cacv % invariably and infalibly proved. that it
- anneored scarcely less than miraculous to

nb;Iosonhical principles upon which they are COM
bounded. and uuon which they consequently act

ourifyno the springs and channels of life, ana en-
duin1 them with renewed tone and VIgor' that
thew were indebted for their name.
Unlike the host of perncious quackeries which
boast of vegetable ingredients, the LIFE MEDl::
CTNFS are purely and solely vegetable; ana
contain neither Mercury, nor Antlmony, nor
Arsenic nor any other mineral, IN any 1orm
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 10 the
ignorant pretenders to medical science and were
never before administered in SO happily eficacous
d combination.
The first operation is to loosen from the coats
of the stomach and bowels the various lmPun-
ties and crudities constantly settling round them
and to remove the hardened fgces which cOlect
in the convoIutions of the small intestlnes. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, ana leave
such collected masses behind to produce habltuu
Cosveness, with all its train of evils, or sudden
Diarrhna with its imminent dangers. This fact
is weI-known to all regular anatomlsts who ex-
anime the human bowels after death; and hence
the nreiudce of these well-informed men against
the auack 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 heaIthfu 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 nourlshed
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
rietv of human diseases in which the VEGE-
TABLE LIFE MEDICINES are well known
to be iniallble.
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, REsTLEssNEss, lLL-IEMPER,
ANXIETY, LANGUoR, and MELANCHOLY, which
are the general symptoms Of Dyspepsia, viii
vanish, as a natural consequence of its cure,
Costiyeness, by cleansing the whole length
of the intestines with a 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
occasioned, and by promoting the lubricatiye se--
eretion of the mucous membrane
EeVerS OF all kinds, by restoring the blood 10

ration III 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 Govt 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 dislodgng from the turnings
of the bowels the Shiny matter 10 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 MEDl-
CTNES give to the blood, and all the humors.
Soorbutie 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, salow, cloudy, and
other disagreeabe compilations
The use of these Pills for very short time
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 maIady, the VEGETABLE LIFE
MEDICINES deserve distinct and emphatic
recommendation 1t is wen-known to hundreds
in this city, that the former proprietor of these
valuable Medicines was himself afflicted with this
compaint for upwards of TmRTY-FIvE YEARS and
that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed
within the whole compass of the MateriG Medicd.
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
