THE FAMILY LIFE MEDICINES.

‘Tue celebrated Life Pills and Phenix Bitters. pre
pared and sold by Dr. Wm. B. Moffat, 375, Broadway, New York
may now be said to be the most respectably estabiished and extensively
adopted family medicines in the United States. They have not only
won the sanction and recommendation of all the candid and philanthropic
portion of the medical profession, who have observed their invariable
elicacy in general derangements of the stomach and bowels, and their
astonishing effects in many varieties of acute and chronic disease, but
what is tar better, these medicines have recommended themselves, and
fully and fairly achieved the distinguished and now certaiuly pre-eminent
position which they now occupy in public and domestic estimation. ‘They
mre proved by their works, aud make no appeals to vulgar credulity.
Ifthe proprietor were disposed to make an invidious comparison be-
tween these self-established medicines and any others. he might confi-
dently assert and chaltenge contradiction that there is no medicine
knowu to the medical profession, or named in their books, concerning
which so many clear, unquestionable aud conclusive evidences of use-
fulness and remarkable cures are recorded as those which he ean adduce
eoncerning the Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters. If it be admitted that suf-
ferers are the a as to whether a remedy has relieved them and
restored them to heaJth and strength. then is the evidence in behalf of
these medicines decisive and irresistible. Dr, Moffat is in possession of
a immense accuinulation of voluntary testimonials from respectable
persons and families in all parts of the’ Union, far and near, who give
their names and residence to the unsolicited statement that they have been
completely and speedily cured of the following diseases, aid of mau
others not here enumerated, by these Life Medicines alone, When other
medicines had been long employed in vain, viz: Scrofula. in its most
dreadfully advanced and destructive stages, when large portions of the
flash and bones of the face had been destroyed; Piles of five, ten, twen-
ty, thirty and even thirty-five years standing; Rheumatism, both acute
und chronic, of the most hopeless character ; Turgescence of the Liver,
and various other liver complaints; Bilious Cholic, and every conceiva-
ble variety of bilious affections; Marasmus ‘l'abes, or Decline, and Maras-
mus Phthisic,or Consumption, in more advanced stages than any on
conor Dyspepsia, in all its chronic aud acute varieties, with its fright-
pn bse distressing es detdy Worms of all kinds, both in children
ha grown angel 53 siiet Bere serous and hilious ; Costiveness,

h hi t ¢ and Ague, in its three princi
varieties, and intermittent and remittent fevers: ofall kinds ; Wiceeh:
driosis, and other extremely complicated nervous affections, with nervous
debility in general; Salt Rheum, Running Seald. and eruptive diseases

saline unhealthy complexion; Palpitation of the heart, aud Determina=

SUMMARY OF AFFIDAVIT.

Wm. Brooke, Messenger, of 2, Union-sireet. Southwark. Lon 4
don, maketh oath and saith, that he (this deponent) was afflieter

with FIFTEEN RUNNING ULCERS on his leftarm, and ul

cerated sores and wounds on both legs, for which deponent wir
admitted an out-door patient at the Metropolitan Hospital, in
April, 141, where he continued for nearly four weeks. Unable
to receive a cure there, the deponent sought relief at the three
ollowing hospitals :—King’s College Hospital in May, for five
weeks ;—at Guy’s Hospital in July, for six weeks ;—and at Cha-
ting Cross Hospital at the end of August, for some weeks more ;
which deponent left, being in a far worse condition than when he
quitted Guy's, where Sir BRANSBY COOPER and other medi-
cal officers of the establishment had told deponent that the only
chance of saving his life was to LOSE HIS ARM! The depo-
nent thereupon called upon De. BRIGHT, chief physician of
Guy’s, who,on viewing the deponent’s condition, Kindly and
liberally said. “Zam utterly at a loss what to do for you! but
here ishalf-a-sovereign: goto Mr. HOLLOWAY. and try what
effect his Pilfs and Ointment will have, as I have frequently wit

nessed the wonderful effects they huve in desperate cases. You can
let me sce youagain.” ‘This uuprejudiced advice was followed
by the deponent, and a perfect eure effected in three weeks. by the
usealone of HOLLOWAY'S PILLS and OINTMENT, after
four Hospitals bad failed!!! When Dr. Bright was shown by

the deponent the result of his advice and charity, he said, © 1
am hoth astounded and delighted, for I thought that if I ener saw
you again alive, it wou'd be without your arm; I can only compare

IN ALL DISEASES of the Skin,

Wounds and Ulcers, Bad Breasts, Sore Nipples, Stoney and UI-
cerated Cancers, ‘Cumours, Swellings, Gout, Rheumatism, and
Lumbago, likewise in cases of Piles; the Pills, in all the above
cases, ought. to be used with the Ointment; as by this means
teures will be effected wih a much greater certainty, and in half
he timethat at would require by using the Oin'ment alone.
The Ointment is proved to bea certain remedy for the bite of
moschettoes. Sand-flies. Chiege-foot, Yaws, and Coco-bay.

Burns, Sealds, Chitblains. Chapped: flands and Lips, also
Bunions and Soft Corns will be immediately cured by the use
of the Ointment.

THE PILLS are not only the finest remedy known when
used with the Ointment, but asa General Medicine there is ne-
thing equal tothem. In nervous affections they will be found
of the greatest service. These Pills are, without exception, the
finest Purifier of the Blood ever discovered, and OUGHT to be
USED BY ALL!!!

PURGATIVE AND STOMACHIC VEGETABLE PiLLS

“ He that wants Health wants ecery thing.”

ic aelicte Medicines are entirely Vegetable, and wil. be
found upon trial to be the mildest, and at the same time the ros
effectual, remedy ever offered to the public for the relief of suffering
humanity.

IN ALL DISEASES they will be found to allay Irritation—reduce
Fever and Inflammation—clvanse the Stomach and Bowels—improve
Digestion—purify the Blood—restore tone to the principal functions—
and impart renewed energy to the whole Constitution.

In the following Diseases they have proved of the greatest utility:
Fevers of every character; !nflammatious; Costiveness; Bilious and
Liver Complaints ; Consumption; Asthma; !'yspepsia; Vomiting ;
Determination of Blood t# the Head; Cutaneous Eruptions; Viles 5
Diseased Joints ; Nervous Disorders ; Hysterics ; Fem sle Complaints
‘of every kind ; Impure state of the Blood; Worms; Diarrhoea; all
rangements of the Stomach and Bowels; and General Debility of

the whole Constitution.

Indeed, there is scarcely a Disease to which mankind is subject
which they will not either greatly benefit or perfectly cure.

The Purgative Pills operate in the most gentle manner in cleansing the
Stomach and Rowels, and removing obstructions.

In severe Chronic Diseases they are an invaluable Alterative, and
when combined with the Stomachie Pills, quickly improve the secretions
ef the whole system—the stomach is strengthened—a healthy flow of bile
is produeed—the bowels become regular—and disease, whether Loca/
or Constitutional, gives place to health and vigour of mind and body.

In all diseases of the Digestive Organs, accompanied with loss of
appetite, nausea, sour stomach, and general debility, the Stomachie Pills
{with the occasional use of the Purgative,) will be found of the greatest
utility.

The Stomachie Pills should always be taken after Fever and Tnflam-
mation are reduced by the Purgative Pills—as they greatly facilitate the
‘ecovery of the patient.

Weak and delicate Females will find the Stomachie Pills of the utmost
value in all complaints to which they are subject. In all diseases of
debility they will be found to increase the patient's strength, and rapidly
restore him to the enjoyment of perfect health.

ie submitting a New Periodical to the Public, it

customary to state, in a few words, the object with which 7
has been seton foot, and, as far as possible, the mode in which il
will be conducted. ;
Much consideration has been bestowed on the plan of cur
publication, and every part has been duly weighed. — it
We have ever maintained the opinion, that the interests of ©
Great Britain and her Culonies ean never be permanently at vari- &
anee, or at least that it is always practicable, by sound legislation,
to render the prosperity of the mother country the cause and cobs
sequence of that of her children. We shall therefure endeavour
toenforce and illustrate these views, by showing. in the minutest
detail, the mutual dependence of every part of aur vast emp:fes ;
and by pointing out the methods by which apparently conflicting
interests may be conciliated. , j
Any further statement of our views and theories is unnecessary
in this place. The Public must judge whether we-tedeem the
pledge here given, that we shall be consistent and persevering in
the advocacy of Britishand Colonial interests :
It is necessary, however, to say something of the means we’
have at our disposal, for treating ina firing manner the subject
of the Colonies—under which term we include the whole of our
daily increasing ampire exterior to the mother country. - ae
In the first place. we propose, by a bigh rate of repianeration, —
to secure, as contributors, some of the ablest writers on the sly.
jects which it is our province to disenss 5 and we invite gentle.
inen, whose sindies have been directed to the € dlonies, to fore
ward us papers, which will receive the most attentive conside.
ration. We shall not only discuss the most interesting qestiang
connected with our foreign possessiors. but shall labour to far.
nish our readers with a complete description of the manners and
customs of the various people over whom our sway extends, of
the countries they inhabit, their productions and capabilities of
supporting emigrants. In short, we sball strive to make our
publication useful and interesting to the Statesman, the Merchant, |
the Geographer, the Ethnologist, the Literary man, and the Ge.
neral Reader. Lts contents will embrace very subjett connected —
with Commerce and Navigation, Agrieuliure and Mauufaetares,
Marine [usurance, the Laws and Regulations of Trade, and the —
Tariffs and Commercial ‘Treaties of various nations; thas forme
ing a repository for full and authentic Svrtistical, Tables of the
Trade, Navigation, Resources and Population of Great Britain
and her Colonies. ii
We affirm unbesitatingly that we shall be enabled to offer to.
the Public a more comprehensive, original, and carefully eondens~
ed summary of Colonial Intelligence, than has hitherto appear
in any publication. ‘To those interested in particular Colonies,
we shall afford a complete synopsis ofthe occurrences there “a
place. together with many of those minor incidents never hotic
in the London Papers, but which give a local colouring and pec
liar charm to narratives, that deprived of them, are considered
and uninteresting. if
The nH SM the disposal of the Proprietor of Simmonds’
Colonial Magazine, for the attainment of these objects, are €
sive and peculiar, His office has for yeare been the centre of
widely developed system of Colonial transactions, and he has.
been for the same period in the regular receipt of every news:
paper issued in our dependencies, fiom the largest to the smallest, |
as wellas all the proceedings of the Colonial Legislatures, the.
Colonial Almanacs, Directories, Meteorological Registers, and
such Statistical Works as serve to show the progress and im
provements of our possessions beyond the seas. Active a ’
lelligent correspondents have been secured in all oar Col
whose communications cannot fail to furnish correct, ampley:
early information on Colonial matters. By their assista
shall be enabled to offer from time to time, suggestions as
best methods of improving and extending the natural and
advantages possessed by our numerous settlements and colom

Supporting, as we shall do, Colonization on an enlarged sea
in opposition to popular prejudice ; looking to no adventiti
sources of success, and determining to advocate through evil and
