Read the following certificate:
HUNTINGDON, March 11, 11350.
For the benefit of sufferers like me and oth
ers, I do freely declare the following fact.
have suffered more or loss 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 for 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
matter; such I can tell mach 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 hind will be with
out it when they once know its use.
Jouv BUMBAUGH.
HUNTINGDON, March 11, 1850.
I do hereby certify to the following facts:—
That I have suffered for five years past with
pain in my back, spine and kidnies, and never
received any relief but by bleeding, for a few
days only. Last Novernbei 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 in des
perate cases, I can freely recommend ir, 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. Coors.
Lswisrows, March 1850,
I never before gave a certificate, but this I
give with a clear conscience for the benefit of
'offerers like myself. I suffered with the Ery.
sipelas or St. Antony's Fire, mixed with Tet.
ter, so pronounced by my doctor, for 12 years.
The suff,ring I endured is beyond description.
At times all my hair came off my head. Durilitt
this time I had no relief for more than a few
days at a time. Lust October 1 got a bottle of
the Extract of American Oil, used it inwardly
end 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
do assure my friends an4the public that it is
ind,ed a won , le-ful thing for many complaints.
I invite all whochoose to visit me in Lewistown.
My maiden name was Nancy Mugarky, ;ow

the expense and risk of travelling there, any per

Satisfactory security will be given for all perform

the Railroad from Chicago to Galena, which is

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 front North to South, for the con
struction of which the lute Congress appropriated
a large amount of land, thereby securing, beyond
doubt, its speedy completion; and there is no doubt
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 four 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

CHEAT
Improvement in Daguerreotypeing
VAN LOAN & CO., No. 118, Chesnut street,
Philadelphia, have, by recent discoveries in
their art, enabled themselves to take pictures at
all times, with great certainty—as welt in stormy
as clear weather—which are Justly pronounced by
artists and scietitic men, UNRIVALLED, for depth of
tone and softness of light and shade. By working
themselves, they not only produce pictures which
are GOOD AND CHEAP!! but by far the Bost
and cheapest which can lie produced at any other
establishment. Their charge for pictures in hand
some improved eases, range from ONE DOLLAR
to three tlollars, depending on the size of the pic
ture, being scarcely one-half the prices charged at
other establishments, for pictures of equal size—
but of inferior quality. Their GALLERY OF POR
TRAITS, consisting of some hundreds, embraces a
collection of DISTINGUISHED AMERICANS
worthy the attention of visitors to their rooms,
which are OPEN AT ALL TIMES.
. .
Th. collection which they had deposited in the
exhibition of the Franklin Institute, was constant
ly surrounded by dense crowds of admirers, who
were loud in their praise of the artists' skill.
To guard against every possibility of mistake,
they guarantee every picture to be of the best ma
terials, and unless it is entirely satisfactory to the
customer, NO CHARGE IS MADE.
eir When visiting the city NI at their rooms,
whether you wish a Daguerreotype or not. The
admission is free, and you will be pleased with
your visit. Don't forget the nastier, 118 Chesnut
street, a few doors below Fourth.

not express to you the relief it all.rited any distressed
