Dear sir, lu 1534, u I mistake nol,

and tell with me near a hundred BoXf -of
your Anti-lever Pi Us. I sold ihem.
In the winter ol 1S3S and '39, prehap-.

of mine bought of him 100 b.xes more
In January, 1S41, another agi nt (Ah

friend and I purchased of him all lh
Pills he had, (he was gathering up all
left in this Stale and Virginia.) After
leaving here for home, he returned in
day or two with another lot, which h
had gathered along the way, and wi
bought all of them. I am now nearly
out of those Pills again, and am at a com
plete loss to know where to obtain ihem.
The only resource left me is to apply l
you for direction.
I deal in Pills, to a very considerablt
extent, but yours are the only ones thai I
can recommend on my own authority, or
that are worth having, m my estimation.
1 would notgivetwo cms for all the Pill

with the Billious, or Ague and Fever,
(which so much prevail here,) 1 would
not exchange your's for their weight in
gold. The truth is, I believe llvy never
have failed to cure, if taken according to

WORMS! WORMS'.!
Startling Pacts.
gJUNDREDS of children and adults
are lost yearly with Worms, when
some other cause has been sopposed to be
the true one. It is admitted by all Doc
tors that scarce a man, woman or child
exists but whal are sooner or later trou
bled with worms, and in hundreds of ca
ses, sad to relate, a supposed fever, scar
latina, cold, or some miter ailing carries
off the flowers of the whole human fami
ly while in tru;h they die of Worm!
tnd these could have been eradicated in
a day, by the use of a bottle of
Kolmstock's Vermifuge,
At the cost of a quarter of a dollar!
How sic kening the thought that these
things should be and who can lorgive
themselves for not trying this U orm Ex
terminator, when they know that even il
the case was not worms, this remedy
could mil by any possibility do hurt but
always good as a purgative let the (lis
ease be what it may. How important
then to use it, and who will dare lake the
responsibility to do without it? Lei eve
ry parent that is not a brote, ask them
selves this question in truth & soberness.
In some of the besl families in the neigh
borhood of St. John's Park, il has been
extensively used, from the circumstance of
having eradicated a large quantity of
worms, after all other remedies had fail
ed, which was extensively known in that
part of the cityi
In numerous cases other complaints
were supposed to exist, and the person
treated for fever, &". but finally a trial o(
this Vermifuge discovered the true cause
of the sickness, by bringing away almost
an innumerable quantity of Worms, large
and small, and ihe persons recovered
with great despatch. Instances of this
kind might be riled to an immense ex
tent, bin it is useless, one liial for 25
cents will show any one with astonish
toent the certain effects of this Vermifuge.
Caution Never buy this article un
less it have "Dr Kdmstnrk's Vermifuge"
handsomely engraved on the outside label,

Health and long iije.
HP HE immense number of letters which
Dr. Moffat has received, and is daily
receiving from individuals in different
parts of the Union, in testimony of the ex
celleni virtues of ihe Life Pills and Fhre
nix Bitters, precludes the possibility of
his laying them before the public in u
printed form.
The Life llcdicincs
Have in many cases been recommended
and used by physicians. They have
stood the severest tesl, and proved the
most unfailing remedy ever offered lo the
sufferer, under almost every disease. As
a general family medicine they are most
invaluable.
The Life Medicines have been used
with success in almost every disease to
which mankind is liable, and for billions
and liver complaints, with their many
well known attendants, billious and sick
headache, pain and oppression after
meals, giddiness, dizziness, singing noise
in the head and ears, drowsiness, heart
burn, loss of appetite, wind, spasms, &ic,
they are acknowledged to be vastly supe-
rror lo any thing ever before offered to
the public, and for those of a full habit of
body, they will prove invaluable; while
as a general family aperient, for either
sex, they cannot fail to ensure the univer
sal satisfaction.
The efficacy of the
And lMiciiix flitters
Is most certain, if freely given on the at
tack of fever, influenza, measles, sort
throat, recent colds, with cough, and oth
er inflammatory disorders. In rheuma
tism and chronic complaints they have al
so performed the most extraordinary
cures, when used with perseverance.
Since the firsl introduction of Dr. Mof
fat's Life Medicines to his fellow citizens,
ihey have in every case, fully maintained
the high character they so well deserved.
Patients who had for years drawn on a
oiiserable existence, and many who had
lost the use of their limbs by rheumatism
and paralysis, have been restored to
health, strength and comfort, after the u
sual remedies had been found useless. Its
astonishing and almost miraculous effects
have also been experienced, in tbe cure ol
nervous and rheumatic pains of the head
and face, paralytic affecli ns, contrasted
and stiffjoints, glandular swellings, pains
of the chest and bones, chronic rheuma
tism, palpitation of the heart, difficult res
pi ration, &tc.
Complaints arising from a vitiated
state of the blood are easily subdued by
the powerful efficacy of these mild and
salutary medicines.
In addition to the numerous testimonials
in their favor, which accompany the abovt
medicines, many references in this vicini
ty of their beneficial effects can be giver
on application to the subscriber, who of
fers them for sale.
