MOFFAT’S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES. THESE Medicines are indebted for their

. 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 public, and in almost every species of disease to which the human frame is liable, the happy effects of Mofi'at’s Life Pills and Phenix Bitters have been gratefully and publicly acknowledged by all persons benefited, and who were previousl nnacquainted with the beautifully philosophical princi- pics upon which they are compounded, and upon which they c'onsequently act.

The Life Medicines recommend themselves in diseases of every form and description. Their‘first operation is to loosen from the coats of the stomach and bowels, the various impurities and criiditics constantly settling around them; and to remove the hardened faces which collect in the convolusions oftlie small intestines. Othei.

collected masses behind as to produce habitual cpstive- nose, with all its train of evils, or sudden diarrhoea, with its imminent dangers. This fact is well known to all regular anatornists, 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 ignorantpersons. The second effect oftlie Life Medicines is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which entirely depends upon the regularity ofthe urinary organs. The blond, which takes its red color 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 of health in the blooming cheek.

Moti'at’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been tho- roughly tested, and pronounced a sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatiilency, Palpitation ofthe Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heartburn and Headache, Restlessness, Ill- tcmpcr,Anxiety,’Langour and Il’lcluncholy, Costiveness, Diarlioea, Cholera, chcrs of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies of all kinds, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consumption, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores,

.Scorbutic Eruptions and Bad Complexion, . Emmi".

complaints, sallow, cloudy and other diagre‘eable co’r'n? ’ lexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, common Coldsd A nfluenza,and various other complaints which afflict thd human frame. In Fever and Agué, particularly, the Life Medicines have been most eminently successful; so much so that in the Fever and Ague Districts, PhysiciL ans almost universally prescribe them. v All that Mr. Moffat requires ofhis patients is to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly according to the directions. It is not by a Newspaper notice, or by anything that he himself may say in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is alone by the results ofa fair trial. ‘ These Valuable Medicines are for sale by 1 J. B. COOPER & Co. Sole Agents for Prince Edward Island. Charlottetown, May 30,1840.

CURE FOR STAMMERING. JABEZ ROWE, who has been very suc¢ess-

ful in various parts of Canada in curing the most inveterate cases of STAMMERING, and other impedi- ments of Speech, intends remaining in Charlottetown for a short period, and may be consulted at his Room, at Mr. Nelis’s, Dorchester Street. Hours of attendance tram 10 to 4 o‘clock. I-Ie guarantees a perfect cure, no matter ofliow long duration. No cure, no pay.
