Pure FresU Cod Liver OH,
THIS new and valuable Medicine, now used bv
the medical profession with such astonishing
efficacy in the cure of Pulmonary Consumption,
Scrofula, Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, General De
bility, Complaints ot the Kidneys, &c., &c., is pre
pared from the liver of the Cod Fish for medicinal
use, expressly for our s’ales.
Extract from, the London Medical Journal.
** C. J. B. Williams, M. D., F. R. S., Professor of
Medicine in University College, London, Consult
ing Physician to the Hospital for Consumption, &c.,
says: I have prescribed the Oil in above four hun
dred cases of tuberculous disease of the Lungs, in
different stages, which have been under my care
the last two years and a half. In the large number
of cases, 20G out of 234, its use was followed by
marked and unequivocal improvement, varying in
degree in different cases, from a temporary retarda
tion of the progress of the disease and a mitigation
of distressing symptoms, up to a more or less com
plete restoration to apparent health.
. “The effect of the Cod Liver Oil in most of these
cases was very remarkable. Even in a few days
the cough was mitigated, the expectoration dimin
ished in quantity and opacity, the night sweats
ceased, the pulse became slower, and of belter
volume, and the appetite, flesh and strength were
gradually improved.
“In conclusion, I repeat that the pure fresh oil
from the Liver of the Cod is more beneficial in the
treatment of Pulmonary Consumption than any
gent, medicinal, diatetic or regimenal, that has
yet been employed.”
_ f* 8 we have made arrangements to procure the Cod
Liver (HI, fresh from head quarters, it can now be
had chemically pure by the single bottle, or in boxes
of one dozen each. 3
Its wonderful efficacy lias induced numerous
spurious imitations. As its success depends en
tirely upon its purity, too touch care Cannot be
used in procuring it genuine.
Every bottle having bn it our written signature,
may be. depended upon as genuine.
Pamphlets containing an analysis of the Oil, with
notices of it from Medical Journals, will be sent to
those who; address us free of postage.

The gallery is .of easy access —being on the
second floor, having to ascend only one easy flight
of stairs, ana located in one of the most business

Remember, it matters not as to the color of the

be proof against water, air or dampness of any

ROUSSEL’S
VINAIGRE AROMATIQUE, COSMETIQUE , ET
ANTI-METHITIQUE DE BULY.
THE highly sanitory, balsamic, and tonic proper
ties of this Vinegar render it far superior to
Cologne Water for the ordinary purposes of the
toilet and the bath, surpassing the latter in its per
lume and cheapness, and in its greater efficacy for
the promotion of cleanliness and health.
This article has been known and extensively used
in Europe for very many years, where it has, to a
considerable extent, superseded the use of. Cologne
Water. The subscriber feels assured that it needs
only to be made known in this country to ensure
its equally general adoption. It has obtained the
approval of several eminent physicians of this city,
to whose notice it has been submitted.
If prevents and removes pimples, tetter, and
asperity of the skin; it refreshes and whitens the
skin, rendering it soft and smooth. It corrects the
clammy and bitter taste of the mouth, imparting a
fresh and pleasanf breath. It cleanses and whitens
the teeth, and hardens the gums. Friction with
this -Vinegar promotes perspiration and assuage
rheumatic pains. Itallays headache by application
to the temples. It'is effectual in removing inflam
mation of the eyelids, and in strengthening the
eyes. Applied to a burn it prevents soreness. It
possesses many other valuable qualities, which are
t/etmicci at large in the printed wrappers accom
panying each bottle.
The subscriber having, during a recent visit to
Paris, obtained the original recipe for this invalua
ble preparation, now offers it to the American
publid, with a perfect confidence that* it will be
found in every respect equal to the article prepared
by the original inventor. * 9

certificates in our possession, but we do not deem
it necessary to submit them to the public, the origi

We beg leave, however, to call public attention to
the following letter, addressed to a citizen of this
county by the superintendent of an extensive manu
facturing establishment in Franklin county:
Chambersbubg, April 28, 1849.
Mr. Henry E. Leman:— Your favor of the 25th
inst., is at hand, and in reply say that the Grind
stones we run with Wortz’s wheel are from 5 to 6
feet high, 9 to 12 inches thick, weighing trom 3 to
5000 lbs. We formerly used an undershot wheel
12 feet wide and 14 feet high. Our head in an
ordinary stage of the water is about 3 feet, 3 or 4
inches. Sometimes much less than that. With
the old wheel we run two grindstones. In the same
place we‘ have now four of Wortz’a wheels (3 36
and 1 40 inches,) running four grindstones and one
trip hammer weighing about 80 lbs. with less water
and doing more work in the same time. In regard
to the quality of the wheel for the purpose of
grinding, it is far superior to any I have ever used
or seen used, and for a low head I believe it is the
best wheel in use —during the whole winter (which
has been unusually cold) we have not been affected
at all with the ice, and in high water at a stage
which would stop the old wheel entirely, we now
find no inconvenience from back water. Any fur
ther information on the subject I will be happy to
communicate, or it you could make it convenient
to visit Chamberaburg I will take great pleasure in
showing you the wheels. Respectfully, yours,

in the breast, and Bronchitis. It is about one year
since I begun the use of it. I consider it the best
article I know of for those complaints, having de
rived great benefit myself from it in those affections,
I have no hesitation in recommending it to all who
labor under similar diseases. I have also given
to my little son with great advantage.

very severe and with it a violent cough, so
that I would sometimes spit blood ; in this condition
you found me when you gave me a bottle of your
Syrup, I had not taken half a bottle before I found
mjself much relieved, and in fact felt like a new

Dr. Win. Steelling -Dear Sir: —lt affords me
much pleasure to inform you of the great benefit I
have received and also in my faftily, from the use
of your Pulmonary Syrup. I have used it for Ca
taarrh on the Breast, and from a very few doses
have been relieved. I have also found it a certain
remedy for the Croup and all common colds. I
have sold it at my store for four years and could
give a great many instances of its success in all
diseases of the Lungs and Throat.

Church, in Deerfield, N. J.
Deerfield, January 25th, 1845.
Dr. Steelling —Dear Sir There are some things
that impress us very favorably at first, but further
acquaintance convinces us that our impressions
were too exalted. There are otherthings of which
we think more highly as our acquaintance becomes
more intimate. In this class I rank your Pulmonary
Syrup, and Vegetable Anti-Bilious Pills; which
have been kind friends to me and which I take
great pleasure in introducing to the acquaintance
of others. Yours very respectfully,

suffice to show the benefits derivable from its
adoption—the greatest good of the greatest number 1
No policy will be disputed, unless under an act
of fraud by the assured, and after the same shall
have been declared by referees of undoubted char
acter. In case of error, either as to age, or in the
form of policy, or the answers of referees, such
errors, unless wilful and fraudulent, will not be
deemed to vitiate the policy.
The travelling leave is extensive and liberal.
Persons insured for life have liberty to pass to and
from the States of Virginia and Kentucky, and west
of the river Mississippi, between the first -day of
November and the first day of July following. And
to pass from any place or port within the British
North American Colonies, or United States north
ol thirty-four degrees north latitude, without pay
ing an extra premium. They are allowed to cross
the Atlantic in first class steamers during May,
June, July, August and September, free of charge;
during remaining months of the year, 25 cents on
each $lOO insured.
The age of the assured will be admitted - on the
policy. If the insured die in a duel, by his own
hands, or under sentence of the law, such death
will not invalidate the policy, except so far as it
was the property of the deceased.
Thirty days allowed after each annual payment
becomes due, and fifteen days after each quarterly
and half yearly premium becomes due; without for
feiture of policy. Premiums or lapsed policies
may be renewed at any time within six months on
the production of satisfactory evidenco as to the
health of the insured.

When a party effects a policy upon the life of
hnother, the Company will be satisfied if the party
aad, at the time, a bona fide interest in the life of
the assured. The policy may be assigned to whom
soever the assured pleases, without the knowledge
or assent of the Company (there being no clause in
the Equitable policies usual in the policies of Mu
tual Companies, claiming a right to be notified of
an assignment and their approval obtained) so long
as-the assignment or transfer of a policy in the
Equitable is a legal act, and the party who claims
can give a legal discharge, the amount is paid by
the Company. d
The extraordinary advantage afforded by means
of the Half Credit system, in'not requiring, under
any circumstances, an outlay of a larger sum of
money than is absolutely necessary to secure the
amount insured, is peculiarly applicable to the
creditor desirous of possessing a policy on the life
his debtor. If the debt is paid off during these
five years, he can discontinue the assurance alto
gether, having secured the amount, in the event of
the debtor’s death previously, at a lessexpense than
would in any mutual office be charged for assuring
the life for seven years. If the debt is not paid he
would be enabled to continue the assurance for the
remainder of the debtor’s life, whatever might then
be his state of health. Attention is particulary re
quested to the .

The assured has to pay the premium in all cases
in advance, and has no liability of any kind,
sort or description. A deferred note is not neces
sary to peifect any operation, and none will'be
taken by the Company,-
Persons insuring should bear in mind that a pro
missory note given to a Mutual Office at com
pound interest, soon amounts to more than the sum
assured. Thus, $lOO per annum for 20 years at 6
per cent., would cause a deduction from the sum
assured of three thousand six hundred
BEVENTY-EIGHT DOLLARS AND FIFTY-FIVE -CENTS.
The premiums of Mutual Assurance Companies
being, as they profess, (though the Mutual offices
ct do somehow” advertise guarantee capitals) free
from the burdens of dividends to shareholders,
should be very much lower, than those of stock
companies; yet the Equitable is lower by six
teen per cent, than any Mutual Office, and
at the same rates of fremium charged by the
“New York Life,” “The New York Mutual,”
“ Albion,” “ Worcester Mutual,” “Connecticut
Mutual,” “Pennsylvania,” ‘‘Girard,” *‘Penn,”

The assured being thus entirely relieved of pay

The premiums charged by the Mutual Offices
are all on the highest scale, (and by their oten ad
vertisements) much beyond what is requisite for the
purpose of their business.
Their “profits” can only? be realized, if ever
realized at all, after a lapse of twenty years. The
word Profits, therefore, is an abuse of the term, a
WHOLLV CONTINGENT AND REMOTE PROMISE, for
it is self-evident, and cannot for a moment be ques
itioned, they must suffer loss by every insurer who
dies before the amount paid by him in premiums ,
with the accumulated interest, shall be equal to
the amount of his policy—nevertheless, in the Mu
tual Offices the “ profits” (77?) are to be shared in
by the representative, should the insured die im
mediately after one or two payments.
By the diminution of the premiums in the Equi
table, THE GREATEST PRESENT BENEFIT IS SECURED
to all persons assured by this company; whilst
those who wish to participate in the profits can do
so, by the purchase of the reserved shares, (first
instalment, 10 dollars) which at all times afford a
good and really profitable investment for capital,
beside a vote for each share. This action the
Trustees conceive must commend itself to the judg
ment of every unbiassed inquirer , being based on the
broad principle of equity; and securing to all the
members, the advantages to which they are justly
entitled by their actual payments; without opera
ting to the peculiar benefit of old standing members,
or placing recent entrants at a disadvantage—a
combination presented by no other office than the
Equitable Life Insurance Company.
The actual Money Bonus given by the Equi
table, saved, is upwards of 15 per cent., at the time
of effecting the insurance; or in accordance with
the Scrip Bonus of a Mutual office; the saving
is equal to two hundred and fifty per cent.
