HUNTINGDON, March 11, 1858.
For the benefit of sufferers like me and oth
ers, I do freely declare the following facts
have suffered morAr 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 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
mitter; such I can 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 BUMBAUGH.
HUNTINGDON, March 11, 1850.
1 do hereby certify to the following facts:—
That I have suffered for five rears past with
nein in my bark. spine and kiiinies, and never
received any relief but by bleeding, for a few
(lays only. Last November I got a bottle of
the Extract of Am,ican Oil, I used it inward
ly, and to , my surprise it removed the complaint
in a short time. From what I have seen and
hoard of its wondrous effects upon others in des
rrate cases, I can freely recommend it, and be
liove 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. COUTB.
LP:WISTOWN March MO.
I never before gave a certificate, but this I
give with a clear conscience for the benefit of
suff•rers like myself. I suffered with the Ery
sipelas or St. Antony's Fire, mixed with Tel
so pronounced by my doctor, for 12 years.
The stiff . ..ring I endured is beyond description.
At times all myhair came off my head. During
this time I had no relief for more than a few
/lays at a time. Last October 1 got a bottle of
the Extract of American Oil, used it inwardly
and outwardly, and to my great astoniehment
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 and the public that it is
incbed a wonde-ful thing for many complaints.
I invite all whochoose.to visit me in Lewistown.
My maiden name was Nancy Magarky, now
Widow NANCY VINES.
