HE FARM of BROWNSTON, situate on Lot 49, fronting the Pisquid Road, and one mile from’Ver- non River Inn. It contains 434 acres ofthe best descrip- tion of Land in this Island, having abundance of Fire- wood, pine, spruce and fencing poles. Fifty acres are under cultivation, and in the best condition, and Twent additional acres are enclosed of natural pasture, whic could be easily cleared for the plough, the growth of wood being only young bushes. There is a large Garden and Orchard, planted with apple, plum and cher- ry trees, &c. of 5 years’ standing. The whole is well fenced, and there are gates on every enclosure, as well as the court-yard. The House is very comfortable for a small family, and contains kitchen, small parlour, good bedroom, servant’s sleeping room, closets, and a cellar underneath. The House is as good as new, as are the offices, which consist ofa large Barn, a Stable,and Cow- house, Poultry-house, Dairy, and Green-houses for pota- toes and turnips; an excel ent Spring of Water is near the House, and the fields are watered by a brook running through them .

The whole will be let together, or in one Farm, for such term ofyears and on such conditions‘as may be agreed on; or the property. will be divided into Farms to suit the views ofofi'erers; or, ifpreferred, the one hal’ (217 acres), including all the improvements, will be sold

smegma @3439 VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES.

I HESE Medicines am indebted [for their

name to their manifest and sensible action in puri

with renewed tone and vigor. In many hundred cer- tified cases which have been made public, and In almost

liable, the happy effects of Moffat’sL‘ife Pills and Phenix

Bitters have been gratefully and publicly acknowledged by all erscns benefited, and . who were previously unacquaiuted with the beautifully philosophical princi- ples upon which they are compounded, and upon which the consequently act. .

I he Life Medicines recommend themselves in diseases of every form and description. The first operation is to loosen from the coats of the stomach and bowels the various impurities and crudities constantly settling around them; and to remove the hardened feeces which collect in the convolutions of the small intestines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind as to produce habitual cestive— ness, with all its train of evils,or sudden diarrhoea, With its imminent dangers. This fact is well known to all regular anatomists, who examine the human' bowels after death: and hence.tlic prejudice of these well in- formed men against quack medicines—or medicines pre- pared and heralded to the public by ignorant persons. The second effect ofthe Life Medicines is to cleanse the kidne s and the bladder, and by this means, the liver and t e lungs, the healthful action ofwhich entirely

blood, which takes its red colour from the agency of the

' liver and the lungs, before it passes into the heart, being

thus purified by them, and nourished by food coming

' from a clean stomach, courses freely through the veins, ‘ renews every part of the system, and_ triumphantly ‘ mounts the banner ofhealth in the blooming cheek.

Mofi'at’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been tho- roughly tested, and pronounced a sovereign remedy for

' Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation ofthe Heart, Loss of ' Appetite, Heartburn and Headache, Restlessness, Ill- ' temper, Anxiety, Langour and Melancholy, Costiveness,

Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies of all kinds,1 Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consumption, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Sccrbuiic Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com laints, sallow, cloudy and other disagreeable com- plexrons, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, common Colds and Influenza, and various other complaints which afllict the human frame. ‘In Fever and Ague, particularly, the

much so, that in the Fever and Ague Districts, Physici- ans almost universally prescribe them.

All that Mr. Mofl'at requires of his patients is, to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly according to the directions. It is not by a Newspaper notice, or by any thing that he himself may say in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is alone by the results of a fair trial.
