These Medicines have now been before 1hs
public for a period of FIFTEEN YEARS, and
during that time have maintained high charac-
ter in almost every part of the globe for Their ex-
traordinary and immediate power ofrestoring per-
feet health to persons suffering under nearly every
kind of disease to which the human frame is liable.

The following are among the distressing va
rietv of human diseases in which the VEGE-
TABLE LIFE MEDICINES are well known
to be infallible.
DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the
first and second stomachs, and creating now OF
pure healthy bile, instead of the stale and acnd
kind; Flatulency, Loss OF APPETITE, HEART
suRy, HgADACHE, REsTLEssNEss, ILL-TEMPER,
ANXIETY, LANGUoR, and MELANCHOLY, Whicn
are the general symptoms Of Dyspepsia, VIII
Of
Costiveness. by cleansing the whole length
of the ntestines with a solvent process, and
without violence; all violent purges leave the
bowels costive within two days.
DiarThea and Cholera, by removing the
sharp acrid fluids by which these complaints are
occasioned, and by promoting the lubncatlve se-
sretion of the mucous membrane. :,
Feyers OF all kinds, by restoring the Oloou 10 a
REGULAR circulation, through the process OF persp-
ration in such cases, and the thorough solution OF
all intestinal obstruction in others.
The LIFE MEDICINES have been known I"
cure Rheumatism permanently in three weeks,
and Cont in half that time, by removing local
inflammation from the muscles and llgaments OF
the joints.
nropsies of all kinds, by freeing and strength
ening the kidneys and bladder: they operate most
DELIGHTFULLY."- on these important organs, and hence

worst cases of Gravel.
Also Worms, by disodging from the turnlngs
Of the bowels the shiny matter to which these
creatures adhere.
Asthma and Consumption, by relieving the
air-yessels of the lungs from the mucous which
even slicht colds will occasion, and which, II not
removed. becomes hardened, and produces these
dreadful diseases.
Scurvv, Ulcers, and InYeterate Sores, by
the perfect purity which these LIFE MEDl-
CTNES give to the blood, and all the humOrs-
Scorbutic Eruptions and Bad Complex
inns by their Alternative effect upon the uds lhat
feed the skin, and the morbid state of which occa-
sions all eruptive complaints, sallow, cloudy, ans
other disagreeable compilations.
The use of these Pills for very short time
will effect an entire cure of Salt Rheum, and a
striking Improvement in the clearness of the skln-
Common Colds and Influenza will always be
cured by one dose, or by two even IN the wors'
cases.
PILES. AS remedy for this most distressing
and obstinate malady, the VEGETABLE LIFE
MEDICINES deserve distinct and emPnauc
recommendation. 1t is wel-known to hundreds
in this CITY, that the former proprietor of these
valuable Medicines was himself afflicted with this
compaint for upwards of THIRTY FIVE YEARS and
that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed
within the whole compass of the Materia Medicd
He however at length tried the Medicine which
is now offered to the public, and he was cured il
avery short time, after his recovery had been pro
nounced not only improbable, but absolutely I'M
possible, by any human means.
