' ' ' Moffat's Life Pills. _ THESE medicines are indebted for their name to their manifest and sensible action in purifying the springs and chan nels of life, and enduing them with rcnewed lone and vigor. In many hundred certified cases which have been made pub- 1 lie, and in almost every species of disease tj;s to which the human frame is liable, the j happy effects of MOFFAT'S LIFE ' ,, PILLS AND PHENIX BITTERS have , been gratefully and publicly acknowledged by the persons benefitted, and who ILs were previously unacquainted with the f beautifully philosophical principles upon I c: which they are compounded, and upon 1 which they consequently act. The LIFE MEDICINES recommend Am tliomsplvns in diseases of every dcscrip iion. Their first operation is to loosen Am from the coats of the stomach anil bowels, the various * impurities and crudities constantly settling around them; and to re- ^ move the hardened ficces which collect in ,t. the convolution of the small intestines. *'* ^ Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses be- Old hind as to produce habitual costivcness, ; with nil its train of evils, or sudden diar- He rhcca, with its imminent dangers. This 1 fact is well known to all regular anatomists, who examine the human bowels 'TI) after death ; and hence the prejudice of these well informed men against quack f?oc medicines, or medicines prepared and heralded to the public by ignorant persons. The second effect of the Life Medicines is '' to cleanse the kidqeys and the bladder, and by this means, the liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary -^"1 organs. The blood, which takes its jed i color from the agency of the liver and the s;ic luqgs before it passes into the hearl, be- < ' - - 1 1 1 ing thus purihcil l>y tt?cm, ami nounsueu by food coining from a clean stomach, courses freely through the veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of hcaJtii in the blooming cheek. on ti Mo flat's Vegetable Life Medicines have been thoroughly tested, and pronounced Si a sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia, Fia- rosea tulency, Palpitation of the Heart, L'?ss of, it wo Appetite, Heart-burn and Headache, I plan Restlessness, III temper, Anxiety, Lan-jasjt guor and Melancholy, .Costivcness, Piar- J (.njre rhoea, Cholera, Fevers of all kinds, llhu-ijai ^ matism, Gout, Dropsies of all kinds, Gra-L.'j^, vel.

In Pi:-jsive ver and Ague, particularly, the Life Me- j Thus dicities have been most eminently success-j filial ful; so much so, that in the Fcer andldcrs Ague Districts, Physicians almost uni-jttnful versally prescribe them. |of or All that Mr. Moffat requires of his pa- j fort I lients is to be particular in taking the (Jj Life Medicines strictly according to the t|ic directions. It is not by a newspaper no- num] tier, or by any thing that lie himself may ^ < say in their favor, that he hopes to gain peejjr cr* '!it. It is alone by the results of a fair , trial.

C. R. ^ f Cure fur a Snake Bite.?John Prcssual, s Jr., a fanner on Little River in this coun- \ - ty was severely bitten by a Pilot Snake in yj t his harvest field. After striking the snake M \ with his scythe and cutting it in two, he (f i made his way to the house as speedily as Q s possible, and sent off to a neighbor for t| r some brand}-, having heard that was good t| >, for a snake bite; and there was no physi- jr - cian nearer than Ashboro' Not. knowing f what to do. and bcim? in "Teat nain. the! ?i ' o o I ' ? i sufferer casually laid hold of a bottle of n - camphor?about half full (camphorated <1 - spirits?probably brandy.) and placing the ci t mouth of the bottle to the wound, (the an- si I klc we believe.) lie felt partial relief in- p - stantly. All present thought they could t( y plainly see the poisonous fluid escaping d e from the wound into the bottle. By con- 11 II tinuing this process an hour or two, he be- " ,t came entirely relieved, and went back to a n his work again without any further incon- ^ vcnience.
