BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
| A CONTRAST.
ALL nations, from the remotest ages, have
had ships, but Columbus only found out
| the way to America. Before the time of the
gront Spanish navigator, people were only en
! vbled to paddle about the shores. Jastso with
i the Life Medicines. It is but two short years
since I first ventured upon an tinknawn ocean,
and I have discovered the precious object 1 was
iin search of—HEALTH. Vegetifcle medi-
Icines were indeed known when I caumenced
Imy search, but their use was not. Jy the use
lof them, I have not only passed fropi the de
jected invalid, to the hale, hearty wd active
; man of business, but, comparatively speaking,
I have renewed my youth. I can ims, with
confidence in my own experience, alviso with
my fellow citizens. Does the reader want
proof that the VEGETABLE MEDICINES
are suitable to his own ease ? I havi on file at
my office, 307 Broadway, hundreds >f letters,
from some of the most respectable citizens of
this my native land, voluntarily effeted in tes
timony of the virtues of A GOOD VEGETA
BLE MEDICINE.
Persons whose constitutions have Icon near
ly ruined by the “all.infallible mrn ral pre
parations of the day, will bear me wijness, that
the Life Medicines, ami such only, are the
rue course to iieriiianciit good health
joiin MqrFAT.
General remarks re’/.ltrc to Muffut s Life Pills
unit Plneiiix Hitters.
These medicines have long been known and
appreciated, for their extraordinary and imme
diate powers of restoring perfect healh.lo per
sons suffering under nearly every kind of dis
ease to which tiie human frame is liujile.
In many hum!reds of certificated Instances,
tliev have even rescued sufi’erers froil the very
verge of an untimely grave, after all the de
ceptive nostrums ot the day had uttetly failed ;
and to many thousands they have parmxnent
ly secured that uniform enjoyment oflu alth,
without which life itself is hut a partial bless
ing. bio great, indeed, has their cificacv inva
riably and infallibly proved, that it has appear
ed sear u ly iess than miraculous to these who
were un icqu ikited with the beautifully philo
sophical principles upon which they are com
pounded, ami upon which they consequently
act. It was to their manifest and sensible ac
tion in purifying the springs and cliauiieD of
life and enduing them with renewed tone and
vigor, th at they were indebted for their name,
whirli was bestowed upon them at the sponta
neous request of several individuals whose
lives they had obviously saved.
The proprietor rejoices in the opportunity
afforded by the universal ditfusion nfthe daily
press, for placing his \ EGETABLE LIFE
I’ll-LG within the knowledge ami reach of ev
ery individual in the community. Unlike the
host of pernicious <p:ackeries, which boast of
vegetable ingredients, the Li'e Pills are purely
and son : n v::xi.t.wami contain neither
Mercurv. Antimony, Arsenic, nor any other
mineral, in anv form whatever. They are en
tirely composed of extracts from rare am! pow
erful plants, the virtues of which, though long
known to several Indian tribes, and recently
to some eminent pharmaceutical chemists, are
alt i gel her unknown to the ignorant ore tenders
to medical science; and were never before ad
ministered in so happily efica 'ions a coiubinn
tie.n.
Their first operation is to loos, n from the ;
coats of the stomach and bowels, the various j
impurities and crudities constantly settling a
round them unit t" remove 1l»* limit. «* U l‘*o- j
ees which collect in the convolutions of the |
small intestines. Other medicines only par- j
tinliy cleanse thyse. ami leave such collected j
masses behind, as to produce habitual costive- I
ness, with all its train of evils, or sudden diar
rh ei. with its immiaent dangers. This fact is ,
ivi 11 known to ail regular anatomists, who ex- j
amiiiine the human bowels after death : am! j
hence the prejudice of these well informed
I men against the quack medicines of the age. ;
The second effected the V LGE'I ABLE LIFE
PILLS is to cleanse the kidneys and the blad- j
der, and by this means, the liver and the lungs, \
the healthful action of which entirely depends
i upon the regularity of the urinary organs
1 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
: thorn, ami 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 hUn:ming check.
The fidhiwin:' are among (lie distressing va
! riet v of human diseases, to which the Yegeta
j bio Life Pills are well known to be infallible :
DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the
first and second stomachs, creating a flow of
pure healthy bile, instead of the stale and a
i rid kind: t"ii!iilnir-. Palpitation of the Heart,
Loss /‘f ■ Ipi" . Ilrnrt-burn a".! hcait-aehe.
: tlesttessiifss, Iti-temper, Anxiety. l.on?vor, and
Mi itini hoiiy. which are the general symp
toms of Dyspepsia. will vanish, as i natural
consequence of its cure. Cos'irrniss, by
j ch’nn ng the whole length of the intestines
with a solvent process, and without violence,
\ all violent purges leave the bowels costive
, within two days. Diarrhtra and Cholera by
removing the sharp acrid fluids by which
these complaints are occasioned, and hy pro
moting the lubricative secretion of the mucus
membrane. Pm rs of all hinds, by restoring
the blood to a regular circulation, through the
process of perspiration in some eases, and the
thorough solution of all intestinal obstructions
in others. The LIFE PILLS have been
known to cure Hhcnmatism pernianent.lv in
three weeks, and Gout in half the time, by re
moving local inflammation from the muscles
, and 1 giiniriits of the joints. Dropsi/s of all
kinds, bv fr eiiig and strengthening the kid
neys and bladder, they operate must delight
fully on these important organs, and hence
have ever been found a certain remedy for
the worst cases of Grace!. Also, tt'omis, by
and lodging from the turnings of the bowels the
slimy matter to which these creatures adhere:
.Isthina and Consumption, by relieving the air
vessels of the lungs from the mucus, which
even slight e Ids will occasion, which if not
removed becomes hardened, and poduees,
those dreadful diseases. Scurry. Pliers, and
tneeternte Sores, hy the perfect purity which
these Life Pills give to the blood, and alt the
humors; Scorbutic. Kruptions , and Hud Com
plexions by their alterative effect upon the
fluids that feed the skin, the morbid state of
which occasions all Emptier eomplaints. Sal
' loir, Cloudy and other disanrccahlr Complex
ions. The use of these Pills fora very short
time, will effect au entire cure of Salt rheum,
: Erysipelas, and a striking improvement in the
Clearness of the shin. Common Colds and
Infiutnza, w ill always be cured by one dose,
or. bv two. even in the worst cases. Piles.
as a remedy for this most distressing and
obstinate malady, the Vegetable Life Pills de-
I serve a distinct and emphatic recommenda
tion. It is well known to hundreds in this
j eitv, that the Proprietor of the invaluable Pills
j was himself afflicted with this complaint for
: upwards of thirty-fire years, and that he tried
j in vain every remedy prescribed within the
j w hole compass of the Materia Medica. He
! however, at length, tried the medicine which
, he now offers to the public, and he was cured
in a very short' ime, after hi* recovery had
been pronounced not only improbable, but ab
solutely impossible, by any human means.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE—The Proprie
tor of the Vf.getablj: Lifk Pills does not
follow the base and mercenary practice of the j
quacks of the day, in advising persons to take
his Pills in large quantities. Nogoodmedi-j
cine can possibly be so required. These Pills
are to be taken at bed time every night, for
a week or fortnight, according to the obstinacy
of the disease. The usual dose is from 2 too, ,
according to the constitution of the person.
Very delicate persons should begin with but
two, and increase as the nature of the case j
may require: those more robust, or of very cos
tive habit, may begin with 3, and increase j
to 4, or even 5 Pills, and they will effect a suf
ficiently happy change to guide the patient in
their further These Pills sometimes oc- I
casion sickness and vomiting, though very
seldom, unless the stomach is very foul; this,
however, may be considered a favorable synip- ;
tom, as the patient will find himself at once
relieved, and by perseverance will soon re
cover. They usually operate within 10 or 12
hours, and never give pain, unless the bow
els are very much encumbered. They may
be taken by the most delicate females under
any circumstances.—lt is, however, recom
mended. tlntthose in laterperiods of pregnan
cy should take but one at a time, and thus con
tinue to keep the bowels open: and even two
may be taken where the patient is very cos- :
tive. One pill in a solution of two table
spoons full of water, may be given to an in
fant in tiie following doses—a tea spoon full ;
evvry two hours till it operates; for a child
from one to five years of age, half a pill—and
from five to ten one pill.
TIIE PI KENIX BITTERS, are so called,
because thej' possess the power of restoring
the expiring embers of health, to a glowing
vigor throughout ' the constitution, as the
Phoenix is said to be restored to life l'roin the
ashes of its own dissolution. The Phoenix
Bitters are entirely vegetable, composed of
roots found only in certain parts of the west
ern country, which will infallibly cure FE
VERS AND AGUES of all kinds; will never
fail to eradicate entirely all the effects of Mer
cury, infinitely sooner than the most powerful
preparations of Sarsaparilla, and will immedi
ately cure the determination of BLOOD TO
THE IIEAD; never fail in the sickness inci
dent In you up females; and will be found a
certain remedy in all cases of nerrous d/biiit’i
unit ireakness of the most impaired constitu
tions. Asa remedy for Chronic and Injl/nn
matonj Phi umatisin , the efficacy of the Phnenix
Bitters will Le demonstrated by lli« use of a
s ::gle bottle. The usual close of these bitters
is half a wine glass full, in water or wine, and
tiiis qu "-ltitv may he taken two or three times
a day, about half an hour before meals, or n
less quantity may be taken at all tunes. To
those who are afflicted with indigestion after
meals, these Bitters will prove invaluable, as
they very greatly increase the action of the
principal viscera, help them to perform their
f unctions, and enable the stomach to discharge
into the bowels whatever is offensive. This
indigestion is easily and speedily removed,
appetite restored, and the mouths of the ab
sorbent vessels being cleansed, nutrition is
facilitated, and strength of body and energy
of mind are the happy results. For farther
particulars of MOFFAT'S LIFE PILLS, and
PI KEN IX BITTERS, apply at Mr. Moffat's
office, No. :U>7 Broadway, New York,where the
Bills can be obtained for 25 cents, 50 cents, or
*sl pt-r box; nml the Bitters for ijjsl or i§:2 per
; bottle. If Numerous certificates of the won
] dcri'ul efiica y of both, may be there inspect
! ed.
In some obstinate and complicated cases of
chronic and inflammatory Rheumatism. Liver
(Vinipiaints. Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia Palsy', j
Piles, injuries from the use of mercury, quinine, i
and other diseases of long standing, it may be j
found necessary to take both the Life Pills |
and the Phcunix Bitters, in the doses before !
recommended.
N. B —Tin •se Pills and the Bitters will get 1
all mercury out of the system infinitely faster j
than the best preparations of Sarsaparilla, and
are a certain remedy for the rushing of blood
to the head, or nil violent headaches, tie (lau
leiireux , e.—All persons who are predisposed
to apopi/ nj. patsy, Ac, should never be with
out the Life Pills or the Bitters, for one dose
in time will save life. They equalize the cir
culation of the blood, draw all pressure from
the head, restore prespiration, and throw oil
every impurity by the pores of the skin.
IMPORTANT NOTICE.
Fersons using til" Life Medicines, arc ad
vised to take the Pills at night, in sufficient
qantities to operate two or three times on the
bowels in the course of the next day. Also
take a table spoonful of the Bitters half an
hour before each meal. For those of a delicate
or enfeebled constitution, half the quantity
may be sufficient.
