WESTERN LAND AGENCY.
A CA MI'BELL, Land Agent at Lasalle, 11-
t• thuds, has opened ageneral Land Agency for
Middle and Northern Illinois, and Southern Wis
consin, where he will attend to the purchase and
sale of Improved and Unimproved Lands, payment
of Taxes, Location of Mexican Land Warrants,
making selections for those who may he entitled to
Bounty Lands under the late act of Congress, and
generally to all business connected with a general
Land Agency.
Having completed arrangements whereby per
sons wishing to procure lands in this fertile and
rapidly improving portion of the West, can do so
at the minimum price of 61,25 per acre, without
the expense and risk of travelling there, any per
son who may pay to my Agent, James Maguire,
at Huntingdon, the stun of two hundred dollars,
will have one quarter section (160 acres) entered
in their name, (or as they may direct) for which
they will recerve the patent from thegeneral Land
Office at Washington city, in their name, clear of
all charges.
Satisflictory security will be given for all perform
ances on my part,and for the refunding oldie amount
of the purchase, with 6 per cent., at the expiration
of live years, to any person who may then be dis
satisfied with the location.
The canal from Chicago to Lasalle, at the head
of Steam-boat Navigation on the Illinois River,
the Railroad from Chicago to Galena, which is
now in process of construction, and the Railroad
from Chicago to Rock Island, on the Mississippi
river, now completed to Aurora, some 30 miles
west of Chicago, will pass through this country
from East to West, and the great Central Railroad
from Galena to the mouth of the Ohio river, pass
es through it from North to South, for the mi
-1 struction of which the late Congress appropriated
a large amount of land, thereby securing, beyond
doubt, its speedy completion; and there is no troubt
in the mind of any person well informed upon the
subject, but Chicago will be connected with all the
Atlantic Cities by Railroad, in the course of from
two to tour years from this time, thereby enabling
families to emigrate to this country in the short
space of from three to four days, from any portion
of the East, without the risk of travelling by steam
boat. Persons wishing to procure desirable homes
for themselves and families, will do well to make
application soon, as the amount of public lands is
limited, and is being taken up tepidly by actual
settlers.
Any infOrmation desired, cnn be obtained front

THE AMERICAN OIL.
THE celebrates American Oil has been in use
long enough to test itspowers. It is rec
ommended as one of the best, if not the very
best medicine for the cure of Rheumatism, Iry
sipelas, Tetter, Toothache, Cramps, Spasms,
cholic, burns and scalds, bowel complaints,
(piney. croup and sore throat, intlarnation, &c.
Read the following certificate:
He;Ttsonox, March 11, 1810.
For the benefit of sufferers like me and oth
ers, I do freely declare the following facts
have suffered more or less for twenty years with
the most desperate Rheumatism, and also for 18
years at times with most desperate pain in the
stomach, which at times seemed to expand as if
it would burst; also for many years I was ter
ribly troubled with cramps in my legs—indeed
I can't describe all my sufferings fur so long a
time. I could do no business for the last ten
years, nor had I a single good night's sleep for
the last five years. I never could find any relief
worth mentioning, until last November, when I
met with the Extract of American Oil, and to
my no little surprise I got relieved of all in a
short time and to this day. I respectfully in
vite all who choose to call and see me upon the
mutter; such I can tell much more. I can say
it has done wonders on others around me in va
rious complaints. If ever an article was put
out honestly, this is one. I know it sells rap
idly here. No family in the land will be with
out it when they once know its use.
JOUN BUMBAUOU.
HimrtisopoN, March 11, 1950.
I do hereby certify to the following facts:—
That I hove suffered for five years past with
nail) in my back, spine and kidnies, and never
received any relief but by bleeding, for a few
days only. Last November I got a.bottle of
the Extract of American Oil, I used it inward
ly, and to my surprise it removed the complaint
in a short time. From what I have seen and
heard of its wondrous effects upon others indes
perate cases, I can freely recommend tr, and be
lieve it to be worth all the humbugs in the land,
and do believe it will do all for what it is so
highly recommended. C. COTT..
LEWISTOWN, March 1850.
1 never before gave a certificate, but this I
give with a clear conscience for the benefit of
sufferers like myself. I suffered with the Ery
sipelas or St. Antony's Fire, mixed with Tel
ter, so pronounced by my doctor, for 12 years.
The suffering I endured is beyond description.
At times all my hair came off my head. During
this time I had no relief for more thnn a few
lays at a time. Lust October 1 got a bottle of
the Extract of American Oil, used it inwardly
and outwardly, and to my great astonishment
and my neighbors, I got clear of it in a short
time, and to this time I have noticed its won
drous effects on other desperate complaints. I
410 assure •my friends and the public that it is
indeed a wonde-ful thing for many efithplaints.
I invite all whochoose to visit me in Lewistown.
