To Dr. Peters. Sir For upwards of
15 months I have been cruelly afflicted
with Fever and Ague, and during that lime
could find nothing (tho' I had applied to
every thing) that gave me any thing like
permanent relief. At length, however,
your Pills were recommended to me, by
one of our best physicians; and I am most
grateful and happy in being able to add,
i hat I had scarcely used two boxes when
I found that they had restored me to per
fect health. Since then vuiious members
of my family have used them with equal
-uccessand consequently 1 feel it my duty
to apprise you of the fact, and to request
you lo publish this certificate, as I am anx
ious to add my public testimony to the
almost miraculous virtues of your unrival
led medicine. Respectfully yours,

MOFFAT'S'
Vegetable JLifc Medicines.
rESilihbb. medicines are indebted lor
their name to their manifest and
sensible action in purifying the springs and
channels of life, and enduing them with
renewed lone and vigor. In many hun
dreds of certified cases which have been
made public, and in almost every specie
of disease to which the human frame is
liable, the happy effects of
MOFFAT'S
I,ife Pills & Phenix Killers,
Have been gratefully and publicly ac
nowledged by the persons benefitted, and
who were previously unacquainted with
the beautifully philosophical principles up
on which they are compounded, and up
on which they consequently act.
The JLife Medicines
Recommend themselves in diseases of
every form and description. Their first
operation is to loosen from the coats ol
the stomach and bowels, ihe various im
purities and crudities constantly settling
around them, and lo remove ihe hardened
faeces which collect in the convolutions of
the small intestines. Oiher medicines
only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as lo pro
duce habitual costiveuess, with all its
train of ev ils, or sudden diarrhcea, with its
imminent dangers. This fact is well
known to all regular anatomisls, who ex
amine the human bowels after death; and
hence ihe prejudice of these well informed
men against quack medicines or me
dicines prepared and heralded to the pub-
lie by ignorant persons. The second
efl'ect of ihe 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 ihus purified by
them and nourished by food coming 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,
Diarrhcea, 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, Sallow, dowdy,
and oiher disagreeable Complexions,
Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, common Colds
and Influenza, and various other com
plaints which afflict the human frame. In
FEVER AND AGUE, particularly, the
Life Medicines have been most eminently
successful; so much so that in the Fever
and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versally prescribe ihem.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of his pa
tients is, to be particular in taking the Life
Med icines strictly according to the direc
tions. Il is not by a newspaper notice, or
by any thing that he himself may say in
iheir favor, that he hopes to gain credit,
h is alone by the results of a fair trial.

Tomato and Slippery JElm
PljLIiS.
TfV HERE are many family medicines
now before the public, some of which,
from iheir intrinsic virtues have justly
gained the confidence and gratitude ol
thousands; but in the light of contrast, and
in the scale of curative merit, Dr. Harrell's
Tomato and Slippery Elm Pills stand
pre-eminently above them all; nor is any
apology oflered for taking this high
ground, unless il is the fact of their supe
periur, 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 other prepar
ed medicines of the day. Fevers, Liver
affection?, Jaundice, head-ache, loss of
appetite, costiveuess, 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 ihcy are copious and free,
as an aperient they are mild and certain,
as a tonic ihey are prompt and invigorating,
as an alterative they are superior to Calo
mel or any other known remedy, and as a
purifyer of the blood ihey are unequalled
in the history of medicines. There is no
disease can withstand their life-giving en
ergy when taken in lime, 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. 50 rents
per box. $54 per gross.
Druggists, Booksellers, and Merchants
