Second Becauso they are composed of such
medicinal extracts, as have been employed by all
the most celebrated and respectable Physicians for
more than a century past, in purifying the Mood
mid Animal fluid of the body.
Third Because they may be employed as a
mild or active purgative, according to tho quantity

pay attention to them. How many thousands from
such neglect shorten their days, and hasten their fi

affections of the Brcat and Lungs, which weje neg

The Resurrection, or Persian Pills.
Tho name of these pills orginatcd from the cir
cumstance of the medicine being found only in tho
cemctaries of Persia. This vegetable production
being of a peculiar kind, led to experiments as to
ita medicinal qualities and virtues. In half a cen
tury it became an established medicine for tho dis
eases of that countryj The extract of this singu
lar production was introduced into some parts of Eu
rope in the year 1783, and used by many celebrated
Physicians in curing certain diseases, where all oth
er medicine has been used in vain. Early in the
year 1792, the extract was combined with a certairt
vegetable mcdicino imported from Dura Baca, in
the East Indies, and formed, into Pills. The odmir
ablo effect of this compound upon tho human sys
tem, led phyeiicans and families into its general
use. Their long established character their univer
sal and healing virtues, the detergent and cleansing
qualities of their specific action upon tho glandular
part of tho system, are such as will sustain their re
putation and general use in the American Repub
lic. CERTIFICATES.
I certify that I have, by way of experiment, used
the Hygean, and most of tho various kinds o( Pills,
in my practice, which have borne the highest repute
in the public estimation, that have been offered for
sale in this vicinity for the last five ycais, including
those called tho Resurrection or Pcrsain Pills; and

an easy and effectual remedy, than the Resurrection
or Persian Pills, in most cases of disease.

of each. She had tried every means and taken
much medicino, but found littlo or no relief. She
commenced taking the Persian Pills about three
months before her confinement (her health being vc

short time she was enabled by their usoto attend to
the cares of a mother to lur family until her con

become mothers to mako use of the 1'crsian Pills,

months. Almost every one is liublo to be unwell ut
times, and by neglect of proper treatment of them
selves, on such occasions, it is very often tho caso
that a severe attack of disease is the consequence.
Such results may bo easily avoided, and chould be;
and it is in a great measure the object of Mr. MOF
FAT, that his publication should continually re
mind such persons of their danger. The following
letters go to show that tho Life Pills and Plicnix
Bitters are not only excellent latnily medicines, but
that they will, in very many lristahccs, supercede
tho necessity of Calling a pliisician, The principal

Another person, a femalo who has been unable to

for more than a year, and also a burning ecrtsatiun
in her stomach and bowls, was completely cured by

continued head-ache, and was so reduced as to be

of Pills and bottlo of Bitters, so far restored as to

lastly, an acquaintance of mine, has by tho uso of
a bottlo of Bitters and two boxes of Pills, been made
