THESE medicines are indebted (of their name to their manifest and sensible action in purifying the springs and chan nels of life, and enduing them with re newed tone and vigor. In many hundred certified cases which have been .made pub. lie, and in almost every species of disease to which the human frame is liable, the happy effects of MOFFAT'S LIFE PILLS AND PHENIX BITTERS have been gratefully and publicly acknowledged by the persons benefitted, and who were previously unacquainted with the beantifully philosophical principles upon which they are compounded, and upon which they consequently act. The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves in diseases of every description. Their 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 faeces which collect in the convolution of the small intestines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind as to produce habitual costiveness, with all its train of evils, or sudden diarrhoea, with its imminent dangers. This! r<w.? ic u/p11 known to all regular anato-| ?UVfr so ? v.. B mists, who examine the human bowels after death ; and hence the prejudice of these well informed men against quack medicines, or medicines prepared and heralded to the public by ignorant persons. The second effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the liver and the lungs, tho healthful action of which entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red color from the agency of the liver and the lungs before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by tbero, and nourished by food eoming 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. Moffat's Vegetable Life Medicines have been thoroughly tested, and pronounced n Piv a sovereign remeay ior isysjicjiaia, * ?tuiency, Palpitation of the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-born anil Headache, Restlessness, 111 temper, Anxiety, Languor and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diar- , rhces, Cholera, Fevers of all kinds, Rhumatism, Gout, Dropsies of all kinds, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consumption, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scor- ] butic Eruptions and Bad Complexion, Eruptive complaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common Colds and Influenza, and various other complaints which afflict the humam frame In Fever and Ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been most eminently successful; so much so, that in the Fever and i Ague Districts, Physicians almost universally prescribe them. All that Mr. Moffat requires of his pa lients is to be particular in taking tne 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. For sale by J. R. McKAIN. Notice.
