Rare Chance for good Investments!
Z 1 subscriber has laid out, and now rfferg for
sale at reasonable prices and on accommodating
terms, One hundred and len building Lots, nn that
handsome level ground between Braddock street and
the Monongahela river. They are about one•thild of
a mile from the 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
perty in thesuburbs possesaessuperior advantangea, nnr
has any heretofore been laid out with so liberal an al•
lewrince of wide streets; Braddock is from one hun
dred and twenty to about one hundred and ninety feet
wide, and Reeler, Commerce, Brady, Columbus and
Water streets all wide avenues. Most oft ha lots have
Imo fronts, and as they are of various sizes, and will
he sold, one lot, with the privilege of four or five; early
•policants 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 road survey by the State of Penn
lvania were both made alongside of this property,
and it is generally considered that Braddock street,
or the ground immediately alongside of it, affords the
only eligible route fur a Rail Road from Pittsburgh to
the East. Coal can be delivered on thispropeity at a
much less coat than on the Allegheny river, and there
is always deep water at this part of olio river.

We do not wish to traffic with the lives or health of
the afflicted, and we sincerely pledge ourselves to

and to hold out no hopes So 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 indelli•
bin marks of adaptation and design.
The constitution of the animals and vegetables of
the tort id, is such that they could not endure the cold
of the frigid zone, and vies verse.
In regard to disesteemed its cure, the adaptation is
more or less striking.
• The Moss of icefinsi o sbe Wild Cherry and Pines of
all Northern Latitudins.(ind Dr. Wi.lar's Balsam is e
compound and chemical extract from those,) have
long been celebratsci for complaints prevalent only in
cold climates. Indeed the most distinguished medi

Coughs, Asthma, Croupovid Liver complaint, form

which are scattered, by a beneficient Providence,
wherever those maladies prevail.

From Dr. Baker, Springfield, ‘Vushingtun co., Ky
SPRING/111Ln; Ky., May 14, 1845.
Messrs Sanford & Para.—Gem s— I take this °ppm-.
tnnity of Informing you of a most remarkable cure
performed upon me byikappy of Dr. Wistar'sltram
of Wild Cherry.
In the yearof 1840 I was:alien with an infflammu
lion of the bowels which !labored under for 6 weeks
when I gradually recovered. In the fall of 1831 I was
attacked with a severe chill, -which seated itself upon
my lungs; and for the spites of three years I was con
fined to my bed. I tried all kinds of medicines, and
every kind of medical aid without benefit, and thus I
wearied along until the witattu of 1344, until I beard
of"Wistar's Balsam olVlV,,Cherty."
My friends purwraded tilt* give it a trial, though
I had given up all hopes ofietsrvery and had prepared
myself for the change of smasher world. Through
their solicitation I was intioced to make use of the
Genuine Wistar'a Balsam of Wild Cherry. The effect
was truly astonishing. After Eve years of affliction,
pain and suffering; and after having spent four or five
hundred dollars to no purpose and the beat and most
respectable physicians had proved unavailing, I Weis
soon restored to entire health by the blessing of God
and the use of Dr. %Vistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry.
I am now enjoying good health and such is my al
tered appearance that I afrixe4priger known when I
meet my former acquaint
I have gained rapidly, weight, and my flesh is
firm and solid. I can DOW eat as much as any person.
and my rood seems to agree with me. I have eaten
more during the last sin months than I had eaten five
years before.
Considering my case almos‘n miracle, I deem it
..se,...iSsry for the good of the afflicted. and a duty I
owe to the pco[oietors a nd m y fellow men ( who should
know where relief may be bad) to make this state
ment public.
May the blessing of Clod rest upon the prnprietors
of en valuable a medicine as Wigar's Balsam of
Wild Cherry. Yours, respectfully.

fore wetted until I had sold out and had obtained the
money for one lot before I ordered anrairer. But such
is the demand I - or the article that Ido not wish to be
without it, and am therefore tel to aniicipate n little.
The money for The lest shall be forthcoming by the
time the lot in disposed of, which, from the sales I
have merle lately, I think will be but a short time.
The effects of the balsam are in many eases strikingly
beneficial. Orli improves upon acquainteoce more
