Farm Lands for Sale.
The Illinois Central Railroad Company
IS NOW PREPARED TO SELL
OVER TWO .MILLION OF ACRES OF
FARMING LANDS,
laTracta qf 40 acres mut upwards, oft lway tircdit B l
and at low rates of loterest.
THESE lands were granted by the Government, to!,
aid in the construction of this Railroad, and in- I
elude some of the richest and most fertile Prairies in
the State, interspersed here and there with mai : pain-I
cent groves of oak and other timber. The Road ex
tends from Chicago,, on the North-East, to Cairo at ,
the South, and from thence to Catena and Dunleith,
in the North-west extreme of the State, and as ell the
lands lie within fifteen miles on each side of this Road, i
ready and cheap means mu afforded by it for trans
porting the products of the lands to any of those;
points and from thence to Eastern and Southern
markets. Moreover, the rapid growth of flourishing
towns and villages along the line, and the great in
crease in population by immigration, etc., affitrd as
substantial and growing home-demand fur farm pro
duce.
The soil is a dark., rich mould, front one to five feet
in depth, is gently rolling and peculiarly fitted fur
gracing cattle and sheep, or the cultivation of wheat,
Indian corn, etc.
Economy in cultivating and great productiveness
are the well known characteristics of Illinois lands.
Trees are not required to be cut down, stumps grub
bed, or stone picked off, as is generally the case in
cultivating new land in the older States. The tire
crop of Indian corn, planted on the newly broken sod,
usually repays the coot of plowing and fencing.
Wheat sown on the newly-turned sod is sure to
yield very large profits. A man with it plow and two
yoke Of oxen will break one and a half to two acres
per day. Contracts can he made fur breaking, ready
for corn or wheat, nt from $2 to 2,10 per sere. By'
judicious management, the land may be plowed and'
fenced the first, and under a high state of cultivation
the second year.
Corn, grain, cattle, etc., will be forwarded at rea
sonable rates to Chicago. for the Eastern market, and
to Cairo fur the Southern. The larger yield on the
cheap lands of Illinois over the high-priced lands in
the Eastern and Middle-States ' is
known to be much
more than sufficient to pay the difference of transpor
tation to the Eastern market.
Bituminous coal is mined nt several points along
the Road, and is a cheap and desirable fuel. It can S
be delivered at several points along the Rood at $1,50
to St,oo per ton; Wood can be had at the same rates
per cord.
Those who think of settling in lowa or Minnesota,
should bear in mind that lauds there of any value,
along the water courses and for many miles inland,
have been disposed of,—that for those located in the
interior, there are no conveniences for transporting to
market the produce. Railroads not having been intro
duced there. That to send the produce of these lands
one or two hundred miles by wagon to market, would
cost lunch more than the expense of cultivating I
them, and hence, Government lands thus situated, at
$1,21 per acre, arc not so good investments us the
wind of this company at the prices fixed.
The same remarks hold good ihn relation to the lands
in Kansas and Nebraska, fur although vacant lands
May be found mares the water courses, the distanee
to market is far greater, and every hundred miles the
produce of those lands aro carried either in wagons,
or interrupted water communications, increases the
expenses of transportation, which must he borne by
the settlers, in the reduced price of their products,
and to that extent precisely are the incomes front
their farms, and of course on their investments, annu
ally 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
transportation, espeeiully in view of the facilities
foraished by this Road, and others with which it con
nects, the, operations of which are not interrupted by
the low water of summer, or the frost of winter.
PRICE AND TERMS OF PAY3IENT.
The price will vary front $5 to $25. recording to
location, quality, etc. Contracts for Deeds may be
made during the year 1850, stipulating the purchase
money to be paid in lire mutual installments. The
first to become due in two years front the date of con
tract, and the others limitedly thereafter. 1 his last
payment will become due at the mid of the, sixth year
from the .late of the eontreet.
Interest teal be charged at o n ly three per cent. put
As a security to the performance of the contract,
the first two veers inl •r~: I rust be paid in nOvarn,
and it must be underAued that at least one tenth o
the laud purehtued than yearly be brought under
cultivation.
Tiventy per cont. from the credit price - willbe de•
ducted for cash. The Company's construction bonds
will be received no cash.
Raul!, framed farm buildings, which ran he set up
in of eta days, can be obtained per
suns. They will be 12 feet by 20 f ee t, di v id e d i nto
ono living and three lied-rooms. and trill cut complete
set up on ground chosen anywhere along the lload,
$l5O in cash, exclusive of transportation. Larger
buildings may be contracted for at proportionate rates.
The Compaay will forward all the materials over
their read promptly.
Speeinl arrangements with dealers can he made to
suNtly those purchasing the Company's lands with
fe acing materials, agricultural tools, and an outfit of
pitvinions iu any quantity, at. the lowest wholesale
prrees.
Itis believed that the price, long credit, and low rate
of interest, charged for these lands, will enable a man
vrith a few hundred dollars in cash and ordinary in
dustry, to mako himself independent before all the
purchase money becomes due. In the mean time, the
rapid settlement of the country will probably have
increased their value four or five fold. - When requir
ed, an experienced person will accompany applicants,
to give information and aid in selecting lands.

AYER'S PILLS,.
A tsm.and singularly successful remedy for the
A
cure of all Bilious diseases—r Costiveness,
Ltdi
gestion; Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fevers,
Gout, Humors, Nervousness, Irritability, Inflamina
tions, Headache, Pains in the Breast, Side, Back,
anu Limbs, Female Complaints, &c. &c. Indeed,
very few are the diseases in which a Purgative Medi
cine is not more or less required, and much sick
ness and suffering might be prevented, if a harm
less but effectual Cathartic were snore freely used.
No person can feel well while a costive habit of
body prevails; besides it soon generates serious and
often fatal diseases, which might have been avoided
by the timely and judicious use of a good purgative.
This is alike tree of Colds, Feverish symptoms, and
Bilious derangements. They all tend to become or
produce the deep seated and formidable distempers
which load the hearses all over the land. Hence a
reliable family physic is of the first importance to
the public health, and this Pill has been perfected
with consummate skill to meet that demand. All
extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Profes
sors, and Patients, has shown results surpassing
ally thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cures
have beets effected beyond belief, were they not sub
stantiated by persons of such exulted position and
character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth:
Among the many eminent gentlemen who have
testified in favor of these Pills, we may mention :
Dn. A. A. !Inv Es, Analytical Chemist, of Boston, '
and State Assayer of Massachusetts, whose high
professional character is endorsed by the
HON. EDWARD EVERETT, Senator of the U. S.
'Romer C. WINTHROP, Ex-Speaker of the House
of Repreffentalives.
A neorr witExce, 'Minister Ph:n. to England.
t Jena B. FITZPATRICK, CAR. Bishop of Boston.
Also, Dn. .1. It. Cuss:nix, Practical Chemist, of
New York City, endorsed by •
Box. W. L. MA swv, Secretary of State.
Mm. B. Aston, the richest man in America.
S. LELAND it Co., Propr's of the Metropolitan
Hotel, and others.
Did space permit, we could give many hundred
certificates, from all parts where the Pills have
been used, but evidence even 'Mire convincing than
the experience of eminent public men is found in •
their effects upon trial.
These Pills, Abe result of long investigation and
study, are offered to the public as the best and
most complete which the present state of medical
science can afford. They are compounded not of
the drugs themselves, but of Use medicinal virtues
only of Vegetable remedies, extracted by chemical
process in a state of pithy, and combined together
m such a manner as to insure the best results. This
system of composition fur medicines has been found
in the Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a
more efficient remedy than had hitherto been ob
tained by any process. The reason is perfectly oo
vious. While by the old mode of composition, every
medicine is burdened with more or less of acri
monious and injurious qualities, by this each indi
vidual virtue only that is desired fur the curative
effect is present. All the inert and obitoxious'qual
hies of_each substance employed arc left behind, the
curative virtues only being retained. Hence it is
self-evident the effects should prove as they have
proved more purely remedial, and the Pills a surer,
more powerful antidote to disease than any other
medicine known to the world.
As it is frequently expedient that my medicine
should be taken tinder the counsel of an attending
Physician, and ns he could not properly judge of a
remedy without knowing its composition, I have
supplied the accurate formula by which both my
Pectoral and Pills ate made to the whole body of
Practitioners in the United States and British Amer
ican Provinces. If, however, there should be any
one who has not received them they will be
promptly forwarded by mail to his address.
• Of all the Patent Medicines that arc offered, how
few would be taken if their composition was known !
Their life consists in their mystery. I have no
mysteries.
The composition of my preparations is laid open
to all men, and all who are competent to judge on
the subject freely acknowledge their convictions of
their intrinsic merits. The Cherry Pectoral was
. pronounced by scientific men to be a wonderful
medicine before its effects were known. Many em
inent Physicians have declared the same thing of
my Pills, and even snore confidently, and are
to certify that their anticipations were more
than realized by their effects upon trial.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it
into healthy action—remove the obstructions of
the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the
body, restoring their irregular action to health, and
by correcting, wherever they exist, such derange
ments as are the first origin of disease. '
Being sugar wrapped they are pleasant to take,
and being purely vegetable, no barns can arise from
their use in any quantity.
For minute directions, see wrapper on the Box.
