The great popularity which M0FFAT'S LIFE
PILLS and PHENIX B1TTERS have attained,
in consequence of the extraordinary cures effect
ed by heir use. renders it unnecessary for The
proprietor to enter into a particular analysis Of
their medical virtues or properties. Having been
more than twenty years before the public, and
having the united testimony of More than Three
Millions of persons who have been restored to
the enjoyment of perfect health by them, it is
believed that their reputation as the best vegeta-
Bile medicine now before the public, admits ofne
dispute. In almost every city and villagein the
United States, there are many who are ready to
testify to their efficacy in removeing disease and
giving to the whole system renewed vigor and
health.
In cases Of SCROFULA, ULCERS, SCURVY
or ERUPTIONS of the skin, Incorporation Of the
Life Medicines is truly astoni shing, often remov
ing in o few days, every vestige Of these loath-
some diseases, by-their purifying effects on the
blood. Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia. Dropsy,
Piles, and in short most all diseases. soon yield
to their curative properties. No family should
be without them. as by their timely use much
suffering and expense may be saved.
