W H. TAYLOR invites persons from the Colonies, o visiting London, to inspect his machinery, now in 0?. eration,for cutting wood into stoves, laths, shingles, Am. B this invention, for which Patents for Great Britain and her Co onies have been obtained,a very simple machine, With two horse power, can cut upwards oftwo hundred staves or _shmgles in a minute, all, whether the feathered/shingles or straight stoves, as smooth as if planed or drawn, and without loss of wood or even sawdust, Those who have seen the machinery, admit. that It is at once simple and efficacious, and likely to supersede in a great measure the present modeofmanufacturing those'articles. Mr. Taylor 5 object is to sell his patent for the various Colonies, or grant #euces for its use, and he urgestly solicits those who are con. accrued in the wood trade, to ’call and satisfy. themselves at the Square Shot Tower, Surreyside of Waterloo Bridge.

, mazes VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES. [FRESH scrum]

Medicines are indebted for their name to their manifest and sensible action in purifying the springs Vigor. In many hundred certified cases which have been made public, and in almost every species of disease to which the human frame is liable, the happy effects of Mofl'at's Life Pills and Phemx Bitters have been gratefully and piihlicly acknowledged by all persons» benefited, and who were previously unac- quuinted with the beautifully philosophical principles upon which they are compounded, and upon which they consequently act.

The Life Medicines recommend themselves in diseases ofevery form and description. The first operation is to loosen from the coats_of the stomach and bowels the various impurities and cruditieé constantly settling around them; and to remove the hardened fzeces which collectin the convolutions of the small intestines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected ninsscs behind us to priiduce habitual costive- ness, With all iis'train of evils, or sudden diarrhcsa, with its immi- nenl. dangers. This fact is well known to Illl regular nnatomists,

o examine the human bowels after death: and hence the prejudice of these well informed men ngainstqunck medicines-— or medicines prepared and heralded to the public by ignorant person.,. The second effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the kiddeys, and the bladder, db this means, the liver and the iii-gs, the healthfulactiona‘d‘fw icli entirely depends upon (us [0,, arit .ofthc urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red colour i’om the agency of the liver and the lungs, before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them. and nourish- ed by _food‘ coming from-arclenn stomach, courses freely through the veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner ofhenltli in the blooming cheek.

’Mofi'at’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been thoroughly tested, and pronouncod a sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatu- lent-y, Palpitation oftlie Heart, Loss oprpelite, Heartburn and Headache, Restlessness. Illtemper, Anxielv,Lungour and Me. lunchnly,Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera, I’cvers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies ofnll ltinds,/Grnvel, \Vorms, Asthma and Consumption, Scurvy, Ulcers. lnveterate Sores, Scorhuiic Eruptions and Bad Comple‘xions, Eruptive complaints, sallow, cloudy and other disagreeable c‘omplexions. Salt Rheum, Ery- Slpelas, common Cul‘ds awnfluenrn, and various other com- plaints which afilict'the "man frame. In Fever and Agile, particularly, the Life Medicines have been most eminently sue- cessful—so much so, that in the Fever and Agile Dislrififbyfici- ans almost universally prescribe them. “A: ~ , . All that Mr. Moll‘at requires of his p IBMSV‘IS, to be particultfi: in "taking the Life Medicines strictly according thg dirgtions. It is not by a Newspaper notice, or by any thing that‘heglinself may say in llieirfuror, that he hopes to gain credit. lt‘ prions bylhe results ofo fair trial. ’ '. 1'
