PURIFY THE Life Pills and Phoonix Bitters. Free from all Mineral Poisons. The great popularity which Moffat's Life Pills aud Pmesix Bitteiis have attained in consequence of the extraordinary cures effected by their use. renders it unnecessary for the proprietor to enter into a particular analysis of their medicinal virtues or properties. Having been more than twenty years before the public, and having the united testimony of more than Three Millions of persons who have been restored to the enjoyment of perfect health by them, it is believed that their reputation as the best vegetable medicine now before the public, admits of no dispute.

Iu almost every city and village in the United States, there are many who are ready to testify to their efficacy in removing disease, and giving to the whole system renewed vigor and health. In cases of Scrofula. Ulcers, Scurvy or Eruptions of "the skin, the operation of the Life Medici vbs is truly astonishing, often removing in a few d.ivs every vestige of these loathsome diseases, by their purifying effects on the blood. Fever and Ague Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Piles, and in short most all diseases, soon yield to their curative properties. No family should be without them, as by their timely much suffering and expense may be saved.
