Unlike the host of pernicious quackeries which
boast Of vegetable ingredients, the LIFE MEDI-
CTNES are purely and solely vegetable; and
contain neither Mercury, nor Antlmony, nor
Arsenic nor anY other mineral, in any fOnn
whatever. They are entirely composed Of ex-
tracts from rare and powerful plants, the virtues

Diarrhna with its imminent dangers. This fact

of the liver and lungs, before it passes into the
heart, being thus purified by them, and nourshed
by food coming from a 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.
