FOR THE
CURE OF PILES,
rjpUE Subscriber begs leave lo offer to
the attention of those who are subject
to that most disagreeable of disorders,
THE PILES,
A remedy, the efficacy of which has been
tested by the experience of years, and the
utility ot which has in no instance been
impaired from failure to relieve. To
those who have been subjected to this
disease, it will prove, if applied when re
attacked, a sure preventative to its contin
uance, without the least nam: indeed ma
ny have pronounced it the most agreeable
remedy ever applied. 1 here can be no
danger in its use, as its component parts
are of harmless vegetable matter.
The mother of the subscriber who is the
maker of the Ointment, has been in the
habit of giving it to her friends and neicrli
bors for the last five or six years, and in
no instance to her knowledge has its an
plication been ineffectual, as will be seen
hy a number of certificates- annexed, as
well as the testimony of a medical gentle
man who has used it himself and prescri
bed it to the relief of others.
Those who are suffering will do well to
make a trial of the remedy. Its eflicacv is
guaranteed, and there can be no doubt
but Mat ine disorder may be arrested in its
earliest state, it no delay be made in its ap
plication.
The directions for use will be found on
each bottle.

MOFFAT'S
Vegetable JLife Medicines.
rDiilhbh medicines are indebted lor
their name lo their manifest and
sensible action in purifying the springs and
rhnnnels of life, and enduing them with
renewed tone and vigor. In many bun
dreds of 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
MOFFAT'S
Life Pills fc Pltciiix Bittci's,
Have been gratefully and publicly ac
now (edged by the persons benefitted, and
who were previously unacquainted with
(he beautifully philosophical principles up
on which the)' are compounded, and up
mi which they consequently act.
The Jjife vflcdicincs
Recommend themselves in diseases of
every form and description. Their first
operation is to loosen from the coats of
ihe stomach and bowels, the various im
purities and crudities constantly settling
around them, and to remove the hardened
ftcces which collect in the convolutions of
the small intestines. Other medicines
only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to pro
duce habitual costiveuess. with all its
train of evils, or sudden diarrhcea, with its
imminent dangers. This fact is well
known to all regular anatomists, who ex
amine the human bowels after death; and
hence the prejudice of these well informed
men against quack medicines or me
dicines prepared and heralded to the pub
lie by ignorant persons. The second
effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse
the kidneys and the bladder, and by this
means, the liver h the lungs, the healthful
action of which entirely depeuds 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
tnem and nourished by food cominc from
a clean stomach, courses freely thro' 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 pro
nounced a sovereign remedy for Dyspep
sia, Flatulency, Palpitation of the Heart,
Loss of Appetite, Heartburn and Head
ache, Restlessness, Ill-temper, Anxiety
Languor and Melancholy, Costiveuess,
Diarrhoea, Cholera, Fevers of all kinds,
Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies of all kinds,
Gravel, worms, Asthma and Consumption,
Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scar
butic Eruptions, and bad complexions,
Eruptive complaints. Sail tr
and
, r 1 , -v, w.
other disagreeable Complexions
Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, common Colds
and Influenza, and various other com
plaints which afilict the human frame. In
FEVER AND AGUE, particularly, the
Life Medicines have been most eminently
successful; so much so thai in the Fever
and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versally prescribe them.
All that Mr. MofTat requires of his. pa
tients is, to be particular in taking the Life
Medicines strictly according to the direc
tions. 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.

Tomato and, Slippery Mm
PILLS. -
npHEREare mjmy family medicines
now before the public, some of which,
from their intrinsic virtues have J i l I v
gained the confidence and graiitude of
thousands; but in the light f contrast, and
in the scale of coral ive merit, Dr. Uarrell's
Tomato and Slippery Elm Pills stand
pre-eminently above them all; nor is an
apology offered for taking this big!
ground, unless it is ihe fact of their supe
perior, and almost miraculous effects in the
cure of diseases. They produce, when ta
ken, a deep and lasting impression that
they stand at the head of all oilier Prepar
ed medicines of the day. Fevers, Liver
affection?, Jaundice, head-ache, loss ol
appetite, cosiiveness, female complaints
and every disease within the reach of hu
man means; yield readily to the power
ful, yet gentle operation of these pills.
As a cathartic th?y are copious and free,
as an aperient they are rnild and certain,
asatonic theyare prompt and invigorating,
as an alterative they are superior to Calo
mel or any other known remedy, and as a
purifyer of the blood they are unequalled
in the history of medicines. There is no
disease can withstand their life-giving en
ergy when taken in time, or interrupt the
system at all when they are administered
as a preventative. During sickly sea
sons, and the prevalence of epidemicks,
their occasional use will preserve the
body from attacks of disease. 60 rents
per box. $64 per gross.
Druggists, Booksellers, and Merchants
are requisite to become agents for the
