Fifty acres are under cultivation, and in the best condition, and Twenty additional acres are enclosed of natural pasture, which could be easily cleared for the plough, the growth of wood being only young bushes.

smegmaavas VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES.

HESE Medicines are indebted "for their

_ name to their manifest and sensible action in puri fylng the springs and channels of life, and enduin them with renewed tone and vigor. In many blinds-fa] cer- tified cases which have been made public, and iii almost every species of disease to which the human frame is liable, the happy effects of Moffat's Life Pills and Phenix Bitters have been gratefully and publicly acknowledged by all persons benefited, and who were previously unacquainted with the beautifully philosophical princi- ples upon which they are compounded, and‘upon which

‘ they consequently act.

The Life Medicines recommend themselves in disews The first operation is

' to loosen from the coats of the stomach and bowels the

various impurities and crudities constantly settling around'tliem; and to remove the hardened laced-winch collect in the convolutions of the small intestimtfltither

medicines only partially cleanse these, and lent/epoch,

collected masses behind as to produce habitual and“? ness, With all Its train of evils, or sudden diarrhoea, with

its imminent dangers. This fact is well known to ail;

regular anatomists, who examine the human bowels after death: and hence the prejudice olIJhese well the formed men against quack medicines—or medicines pre- pared and heralded to the public by ignorant persons. The swd effect oftlie Life Medicines is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the liver and"the lungs, the healthful action ofwhicli entirety depends upon the regularity oftlie urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red colour from the agency of the liver and the lungs, before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them, and nourished by'ffoodacoming from a clean stomach, courses freely through the veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek. Mofi‘ut's Vegetable Life Medicines have been\ tho- roughly tested, and pronounced a sovereign remedy or Dyspepsia, Flutulency, Palpitation ofthe Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heartburn and Headache, Restlessticss, Ill- temper, Anxiety, Langour and Melancholy, Costiveness,

‘ Diarrhoea, Cholera, Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism,

Gout, Dropsies of all kinds, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consumption, Scurvy, Ulcers, lnveterate Sores, Scorbiiiic Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive complaints, sallow, cloudy and other disagreeable corn- plexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, common Colds and

nfiuenza, and various other complaints which afilict the human frame. In Fever and Agile, particularl , the Life Medicines have been most eminently success ul—so much so, that in the Fever and Aguc Districts, Physici- ans almost universally prescribe them.

All that Mr. Mofi‘iit requires of his patients is, to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly according to the directions. It is not by a Newspaper notice, or by any thingthat he himself may say in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is alone by the result! 01' B fair trial. L
