momma VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES.

HESE Medicines are name to their manifest and sensible action in puri fying the springs and channels oflife, and enduing them with renewed tone and vigor. In many hundred cer- tified cases which have been made. lie, and in almost every species of disease to whic - ‘_5 human frame is liable, the happy effects of Mofl'at’s Life Pills and Pheuix Bitters have been gratefully and publicly acknowledged by all erscns benefited, and who were previously unacquainted with the beautifully hiloso hical princr- ples upon which they are compoun ed, an upon which the consequently act. he Life Medicines recommend themselves in diseases of every fbrm 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 fseces 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 costive- ness, with all its train of evils, or sudden diarrhwarwith its imminent dangers. This fact is well known to all regular anatomists, who examine the human bowels after death: and hence the prejudice of these well in- formed men against quack medicines—or medicines pre- pared and heralded to the public by ignorant persons. The second efi'ect of the Life Medicines is t0‘cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the liver and the lungs, the healthful action ofwhich entirely depends upon the regularity ofthe urinary organs. The 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, coursesTreolxthrnugh the veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek. ,‘ Modat’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been tho- roughly tested, and pronounced a sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of the Heart, Loss of

‘ Appetite, Heartburn and Headache, Restlessness,1ll-

temper, Anxiety, Langour and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhma, Cholera, Fevers of all kinds, RheumatiHm, Gout, Dropsies of all kinds,‘ Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consumption, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores,

Scorbuiic Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive-

complaints, sallow, cloudy and’other disagreeable com- plexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, common Colds and Influenza, and various other complaints which afllict the human frame. In Fever and Ague, particularl , the Life Medicines have been most‘eminently success ul—so much so, that in the Fever and Aguo 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.
