PILLS are specially adapted to the relief of the

superintends the manufacture of Ins medicines
in the United States, and-offers them to a free
and enlightened people, as the best.remedy the
world over saw for the removAl of disease..
These Pills Purify the Blood.
These famous Pins are expressly combined
to operate on the stomach, the liver, the kid
neys. the lungs. the skin, and the bowels, cur.
reefing any derangement in their functions pa,
rifying the blood, the very fountain of life, and
thus curing disease in all its forms.
dyspepsia and Liver Complaints,.
Nearly half the human' race have taken these
Pills. It has been proved in all pal is of the
world, that' nothing has been found equal to
them in cases of disorders of the liver, dyspep
sia, and stoniiteh Coniplaints'wenerally. They
soon give a healthy tone to these organs, how
aver much deranged, and when all other means
have,failed.
General Debility. 11l 151caith.
Many of the most despotic Governments
have opened their Custom Uuuses to the intro
duction of these Pills, that — they - tuay - becomo
the medicine of the masses. Learned Colleges
admit that this is the best medicine ever known
for persons 'of delicate health, or when the
spiteiti has been as its invigorating
properties never fail to afford relief. ---

No female, young or old. should be without
this celebrated medicine. It corrects and reg

Farm Lands for Sale
The Illinois Central Railroad Company
IS NOW PREPARED TO SELL
Over Two Millions of Acres
OF FARMING LANDS,
IN TRACTS OF '4O ACRES AND UPWARDS, ON
LONG CREDITS AND AT. LOW RATES OF INTEREST.
rriIESE lands were, granted by the Govern-
JL to 'aid in the construction of this
Railroad, and include some of the richest and
inost. fertile Prairiesin the State, interspersed
here and there - with magnificent groves of oak
and other umber.. The Road extends from
Chicago, on the North-East, to Cairo at the
'.nth; - and from-thence to Galena and-Dunleith,-
in the North-west extreme of the State, and as
all the lands lie within fifteen miles on each
side of this Road, ready and cheap means are
afforded by it. for transporting the products of
the lands to any of these points and from thence
to Eastern and .Southern markets. Moreover,
the rapid growth of flourishing towns and vil
lages along die line, and the great increase in
population by immigration, etc.. afford a sub
stantial and groWing home-demand for farm'
produce.
The soil is a dark, rich mould, from one to
five feet in depth, is gently rolling and peculiar
ly fitted for grazing cattle and sheep, or the
cultivation of Wheat, Indian corn, etc.
Economy in cultivating and great produc
tiveness, are the well known characteristics of
Illinois - land;i. Trees • are not required to be
cut down, stutnps grubbed, or stone picked off,
as is generally the case in cultivating
,new land
in the older States. The_ first crop of Indian
corn, planted on the newly broken sod, usually
repays the cost of plowing and fencing. •
Wheat sewn on the newly-turned sod is sure
to yield very IdvsGs PROFITS. A man with a
plow and two yoke of oxen will break one and
a half to two acres per day. Contracts can be
made for breaking for corn or wheat, at
from $2 to 2,50 rzz., -- r_ ily- By judicious man . -
agement, the land t plowed and fenced
the first, and under a HIGH STATH OF COLTIV.A.
TION the second year.
Corn, grain, cattle, etc.; will be forwarded
at reasonable rates to Chicago, for the Eastern
market, and to Cairo for the Southern. The
larger yield on the cheap lands of Illinois over
the high-priced lands in the Eastern and 311d
dt-e- States, is known to be much mote than
sufficient to pay the difference of transportation
to the Eastern market. •
Bituminous coal is mined at several points
long the Road, and is a cheap and desirable
uel.- -It can be delivered, at. several- points
'long the Road at $1,50 to $4,00 per ton ;
Wood can be had at the same rates per cord.
Those who think of settling in lowa or Min
esota, should bear it. mind, that lands there,
if any value, along the water courses and for
natty miles inland. have been disposed of ;
hat for those located in the interior, there are
o conveniences for transporting the produce
o market, Railroads not having been intro
need there. That to send the produce of these
ands, one or two hundred miles by wagon to
narket, would cost much more_than the ex
ense of cultivating them ; and hence, Govern=l
nent lands thus situated, at $1,25 per acre,
re not so good investments as the land of this
ompany_ at the prices filed.
The same remarks -hold good in relation to
he lands in Kansas and Nebraska, for although
acant lands may be found nearer the water
ourses, the distance to market is far greater,
.••' - • -
lands are carried either in wagons, or inter
rupted water communications, increases the
expenses of transportation, which must be
borne by the settlers, in the reduced price of
their products ; and to that extent precisely
are-t he-i nem nes-from-theirlarms,- - and of course
on their investments, annually - and every year
reduced.
The great fertility of the lands now offered
for sale by this company,and their consequent
yield over those of the Eastern and Middle
States, is much more than sufficient to pay the
difference in the cost of traßsportation, especi al
y in view of the — facilities`turuishid by t is
Road, and others with which it connects, the
operations of which are not interrupted by' the
low water of summer, or the frOst of winter.
Price and Terms of Payment.
The price will vary from $5 to $25, accord-.
ing to location, quality, etc. Contracts for
Deeds may be made during the year 1856. stip
ulating the purchase money to be paid in five
annual installments. The brat to.hecome due
in two years from the date of contract, and the
others annually thereafter. The last payment
will heroine due at the end of the sixth year
from the date of the contract.
r7 - Interest will be charged at only TUREE
per cent. per annum. As a security to the
per fOrmance of the contract, the first two years'
interest must be paul . in advance, and it must
be understood that at least one tenth of the
land purchased shall yearly be brought under
cultivation. Twenty per cent. from the credit
puce will he deducted foNcash. The Com
pany's construction bonds will be received as
cash:
7READY FRAMED FARM BUILDINGS, which
can be set up in a few days, can be obtained
from responsible persons. They will be 12
feet by 20 feet,. divided into one living and
three bed-rooms, and will cost complete set up
on ground chosen anywhere along the Road,
- 61.50 in• cash, - exclusive Of transportation.—
Larger buildings may be contracted for at pro
portionate rates.
Special arrangements with dealers can be
made to supply those purchasing the Company's
lands with fencing materials, agticultural tools,
and. an outfit_of_provisionsin_a_ny- (palmy, at
the LOWEST WHOLESALE PRICES.
It is believed that the price, long credit,
and low rate of interest, charged for these
lands, will enable a man with a few hundred
dollars in ash and ordinary im:ustry, to make
himself independent before all - the — pifiChase
money becomes due. In the mean time, the
rapid settlement of the country will probably
have increased their value four or five fold.—
When required an experienced person will ac

aid in selecting lands.

successful firming, signed by respectable and
well-known farmers living in the neighherhood

there are already some 20.000 acres under cul

and its fertility has been established
from the crops produced. Upon this subject
it is easy to be fully satisfied. There is a

those acquainted with colt - Wands., is specially
called to it. It has the advantage, of being the
nearest to the great lake market; With which "
it will be connected by the Sunbury and Erie
Railroad now under contract and in course of

There is no reservation whatever either of tim

excellence of streams there are fine opportuni
ties for mills.

For Ikalth, the location is much recommend

unknown, also pulmonary complaints, being

for the building of the Tyrone and Clearfield.
which also , passes throUgh this property. The
effect, of this upon trade, and general develop
ment, as well as the coal, may be imagined.
The large and flourishing town of St. Mary's
is in the centre of the tract, numbering near
3,000 inhabitants. It has Betels, good public
schools, saw and grist.rnills, stores, well stock
ed and every thing
,desired. There are 235
half acre lots iii the town.of St. Mary's, which
will be sold and the proceeds equally divided
amongst those who Way farms: Ridgeway, the
county seat, where an extensive business is
dune, adjoins the tract on the west. The_whole
distriet is intersected by good turnpike, and
other roads.
- This is a rare , opportunity offered to those
Who wish to farm or have a

for, the future.. By , making proper inquiries,
and considering the advantages of good soil,
an abundance of coal, healthfulness of climate,
Railroad facilities, and its location, - a correct
