mnemonic VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES.

HESE Medicines are indebted for 'their name to their manifest and Sensible action in puri f'ying the springs and channels oflife, and enduing them with renewed tone and Vigor. In many hundred cer- tified cases which have been made public, and in almost every species of disease to which the human frame is liable, the happy effects, of Moli‘at‘s Life Pills and Pheuix Bitters have been gratoliilly and publicly acknowledged by all persons benefited, r and who were previously unacquaiuted with the beautifully philosophical princi- plus upon which they are compounded, and upon which they consequently act.

The Life Medicines recommend tliemselvesin diseases I

of every fiirm 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 l'aaces which collect in the convolutionsof the small intestines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected IiiaSses behind as to produccfhiibitual costive- 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 tlflul‘ death: and hence the prcjudicc of those well in- formed men against quack iriediciiics—or medicines pre- pared and lit—raided tn the public by ignorant persons. The second effect oftlie Life Medicines is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, andby this means, the liver and the lungs, the healthful action Iifwliicli entirely depends upon the regularity oftlie 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 cotnitig‘ liom a clean stomach, courses freely through the reins, renews every part of the system. and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek. hliilfait's Vegetable Life Medicines have been tho- roughly tcsted, and pronounced a sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia, Flinulency, Palpitation oftlie lleart, Loss of Appetite, Heartburn and Headache, Itcsllessnc’ss, Ill- temper, Anxiety, Langour alltlglIIr‘ltltlt‘llUly, Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera, Favors of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout. Drupsies of all kinds, ‘Gravel, \Vorms, Asthma and Consumption, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate, Sores, Scorbuiic Eruptions and Bad Con‘lplexiuns, Eruptive coumlziitils, snllow, cloudy and other disagreeable corn- plcxion lll Rheum, Erysipelas. common Colds‘and ilflllOll’l. , Ind various other complaints Wlllcll afilict the human frame. In Fever and Agile, particularly, the Life Medicines have been most eminently successlul—so much so, that in the Fever and Ach Districts, Physici- ans aluiust universally prescribe them.

All that Mr. Mofliit 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 pe hoprlas to gain credit. It is alone by the results of a air ma . ' -
