rpHE celebrated American Oil has been in use
1 long enough to test its powers. It is rec
ommended us one of the best, if not the very
best medicine for the cure of Rhi,umatism, Icy

chalk, bums and scalds, bowel complaints,
quincy, croup and sore throat, inflamation, &c.
Read the following certificate: •
llurnsc:nos,March 11, 1850.
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 wry 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 respeetfirtly in
vite all who choose to call and see me upon the
matter; such I can tell much more. I can soy
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.
JOHN BUMBAIJOH
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 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 in des
perate cases, I can freely recommend it, and be
lieve it to be worth all the humbugs in the land,
and do believe it wilt do all for what it is so
highly recommended. C. Coors.
LEwtsrowN, March 1850.
I 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 Tet
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 than a few
days at a time. Last 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
doassure my friends nod the public that it is
indeed a wonde,ful thing for many complaints.
I invite all whochoose to visit me in Lewistown.

themselves, they not only produce pictures which
are GOOD AND CHEAP!! but by far the Ins'

establishment. Their charge for pictures in hand
some improved eases, range from ONE DOLLAR
to three dollars, depending on the size of the pic

other establishments, for pictures of equal size—
but of inferior quality. Their GALLERY or Pon-
TRAITS, consisting of some hundreds, embraces at
collection of DISTINGUISHED AMERICANS
worthy the attention of visitors to their rosins,
which arc OPEN AT ALL TIMES. . .
The collection winch they had deposited in the
exhibition of the Franklin Institute, was constant

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.

MAN! and many a wife endures years of bodily
suffering and of mental anguish, prostrate and help

How important that the caries should be known
to every wife, to every husband, that the dreadful

be spent without the full enjoyment of the other.

"Do. A. M. Maunrecaa—My Dear Sir ' The
Married Woman's Private Medical Companion,' foe
which I enclosed one dollar to your address, came
safely to hand. I would not have troubled you with
these few lines, but that I ant impelled by a sense
of gratitude, for myself and wife, to give utterance
to our sincere and heartfelt emotions.
"My wife has been perceptibly sinking for some
three years or more, in consequence of her great an

confinement every successive ono more and more

despaired of. I supposed that this Mete of things was
inevitable, and resigned myself to meet the worst.
At this time (now about two months) I beard yew
book highly spoken of, as containing some matters
reaching my case. On its receipt and perusal, I ears
not express to you tha relief it afforded my distressed
mind and the joy its page. imparted to my wife, a•
learning that the great discovery of M. M. Dana.
meaux provided a remedy. It opened a prospect to
me which I little conceived was possible. No peen.
nary consideration can ever repay the obligation. I
am under to you for having been the means of im
