EXTENSION OF PETTSBURG
Aare Chance for good Investments
THE subscriber has laid out, and now offers fo r
sale at reasonable pekes and on accommodating
terms, Oat Ausidred and len building Lott, on that
handsome level ground between Braddock street and
the Monongahela river. They ore about one-third of
o mile from !be city line, and are situated in that part
of the first city district which will probably soon be
annexed to the city as the Seventh Ward. No pro
perry n the suburbs possesses nu perior ad vantanges, nor
has any heretofore been laid out with so liberal an al
lowance of wide streets; Braddock is from one hun
dred and twenty to about one bundled end ninety feet
wide, and Beelen, Commerce, Brady, Columbus and
Water streets all wide avenues. Moat of the lots have
lino fronts, and as they are of various sizes, and will
bo sold, one lot, with the privilege of four or five; early
upolicants can be accommodated to suit their own
views of improvement. Persons who desire to build
or to make secure investments in property that is sure
to advance in value, and particularly those who intend
to erect manufactories, would do well to view these
Lots, and examine the draft, before purchasing else
where. The survey for the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road and the rail roud survey by the State of Penn.
lvania were both mude alongside of this property,
and it is generally considered that Braddock street,
or the ground immediately alongside of it, affords the
only eligible route for a Rail Road from Pittsburgh to
the East. Coal can be delivered on this property at a
much less cost than on the Allegheny river, and there
is ul way' deep water at this part of the river.

A CURE: FOR CONSUMPTION
SEVEN THOUSAND CASES
Of obstinate Pulmonary Complaints cured in ONE
YEAR.
WISTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHER.
BY, the great American Remedy for com
plaints and affections of the Respiratory Organ..
We do not wish to traffic with the lives or health of
the &Meted, and we sincerely pledge ourselves to
make no assertions as to the virtues of this medicine,
and to hold out no hopes to suffering humanity which
facts will not warrant.
•
We ask the attention of the candid to the following
considerations.
Nature in every part of her works, has left
ble minks of adaptation.and design.
The constitution of the animals and vegetables of
t he tor, hl, is such that they could nut endure the cold
of the frigid zone, and vice versa.
In regard to disease.aad its cure, the adaptation Is
more or less striking....
The Moss of Iteland, the Wild Cherry and Pines of
all Northern latitudes, (and Dr. Wistar's Balsam is
compound and chemical extract from these.) have
long been celebrated fur complaints prevalent only in
cold climates. Indeed the most distinguished medi
cal men have averred that nature furni.hes in every
country medicines for its peculiar diseases,
Consumption in its confirmed and incipient stages,
Coughs, Asthma, Croup, and Liver complaint, form
by far the mart fatal class of -diseases known to our
land. Yet even these may be cured, by means of the
simple yet powerful remedies, named above, and
which are scattered, by a beneficient Providence,
wherever those maladies prevail.

a ben I gnduallc recovered. In die fall of 1831 1 was
attacked with a severe chill, which seated idiwitlf upon
my lung.; and at [he spec." of three years I was
cuu

every kind of medical aid without benefit, and thus 1
wearied along until the winter of 18114, until 1 beard
of '•Wistat's Balsam of Wild Cherry."
:tly (hoods persuaded me to give it a trial. though
I bed given up all hoperofrrcovery and had prepared
toys.4l for the change of another word!. Through
their solicitetioos I was induced to make use of the
Genuine %Vista's Balsam of Wild Clter'ry. The el e ct
was truly astonishing. After five years of affliction
pain and suffering; and after having spent four or five
bundled dollars to no purpose and the best aid most
respectable physirians hat proved unavailing, I welt
Won restored to entire health by the blessing of God
aril the Ole of Dr. Wistur's Balsam of R del Cherry.
I em now enjoying good health and s u ch is my ■I
