A FTER many years' close investigation and 11. numerous experiments, the Patentee takes pleasure in informing, the public that be has arri ved at the trite principles of protecting families, dwellings and property from the destructive in fluence of Lightning. The calamities that e v er y City, Town, Village and Country falls vic tim to annually, through the gross negligence of its inhabitants, is beyond calculation, especially when the remedy is so easy to obtain—this is found in Armitage% Patent Magnetic Lightning Rods, and in this alone. This Rod has been examined liv the most scientific gentlemen in the world—Professors Al'Murtrie, Johnson, Wallor and many others that have ex amined them, recommend and speak of them in the highest terms of approbation, and have pro. nouneed them the only safe rods in use in this or any other country, for the protection of Lives and Property. One advantage is to divide and throw hack a part of the electric fluid harmless to the clouds; in time of a stroke this enables the rod to conduct that portion of fluid that belongs to the earth without the slightest danger of leaving the conductor. This rod has many other adven- cages over the old one. The only place of man manuring is in rise St., 3 doors above Twelfth, Philadelphia, where all persons are respectfully invited to call and examine for themselves.

I have this day carefully inspected a conductor or Lightning Rod, with vane and index, erected by Mr. Thomas Armitage, on Bellevue Mouse, Gloucester, and have no hesitation in saying that it is not only the best that I have ever seen, but that it is the only one I have yet examined that is constructed on strictly scientific principles. It is with touch pleasure that I recommend this conductor to the attention of owners of buildings. M. McMURTRIE. I am well satisfied that the Magnetic Lightning Rod, manuthctured by Mr. Thomas Armitage, of Philadelphia, is the best that has ever been made ] have spent several years in the study of the laws of electricity and magnetism, and have no hesita tion in saying that these Rods are constructed' upon the only principle of safety. Tho electric shock is received and dispersed by the magnet at the top of the rod, and it would be itnpossiblo, according to the laws of attraction and repulsion, for a building to be injured by a stroke of light ning when protected by one of these rods. I have been acquainted with Mr. Armitage for sev eral years, and before he commenced the mann• facture of these rods I examined the principle on which they are constructed, and felt convinced that their adoption would he attended with com plete success. The increasing demand for these rods, and the extensive sales in all parts of the country, is ample commendation of their utility and superiority. TRACY E. WALLER, M. D. Rising Sun, Philad. Co., April 10, 1852. The following extract is taken from on editori al in the Germantown Telegraph, edited by Major FRE.. "The bogus rod placed upon our dwelling we have had taken down; and another ereted by Mr. An.wirAue, to which we would call the attention of our farmers and readers generally. It is put tip on true scientific principles, and is a rod that has been approved by the highest authority, and will bear the most thorough examination. Those who have been deceived, as we have been, should lose no time in having a proper protection against lightning, substituted. The cost is a mere bag atelle when compared with the entire safety of our houses and barns against this destructive ele ment. Mr. ARMITAGE'S advertisement will be found in the columns of this paper; and we feel as though we were performing an imperious duty to the community, by thus inviting to it general attention."

Mr DEAR SIR: After a trial of many weeks, it affords me great pleasure to inform you that I am highly delighted with the lightning rod you placed upon my house at Bustleton. As far as my chemical knowledge enables me to perform an opinion, I em satisfied you have developed the correct principles in the adaptation of rods to protect property from destruction by lightning; as soon as the advantages of your arrangements are understood, I am convinced that few persons will be found so reckless RR to fail to avail themselves of the protection afforded by your rods.

They are situated in the retired Village of Shirleysburg, in the heart ofone of the most lovely and fertile vallies of the Alleghenies. Inn rural district, among one of the plainest and simplest people of Pennsylvania, apart from the bustle and evils of a thoroughfare, or large town, convenient of access from all sides, with a community noted for its temperance and morali ty, and possessing a healthy and unusually beau tiful situation, this Village presents advantages for Literary Institutions, which strike the eye of every visitor.

PULVERMACHER'S Hydro-Electric Voltaic Chaim, A RE for the first time introduced to the people of Huntingdon and vicinity, as the most con venient, ejectual, and strictly scientific mode of instantly rsli_e2di.T . ..a . Tl_pe_rtmrntiysaring all • NERfOUS r DISEASES. Now we know that an announcement similar to the above meets the eye of the reader almost dai ly, and perhaps this may he classed with many others. But listen or you do us injustice. It is claimed that Pulvermacher's Electric Chain, is the only magnetic rem edical agent that is secured by patent, granted by this government, on the ground that it was a strictly useful and scientific article. The Chains are now on exhibition at the Crystal Palace, and attract ranch attention from the thousands who daily visit it. MODE OF USE. • The manner of using thechainsisvery simple. The chain is first moistened with common vinegar, and then one end of the chain is applied to the part where the pain is located, and the other end oppoarte to the first. The ends of the chain should never touch each other. At the moment of ap plication, the most acute pain is instantly relieved, wherever it is located, by the passing through the part a constant current of uninterrupted electro magnetism. In the following diseases, no other remedy has ever given such complete and perfect satisfaction to the patient as Pulvermacher's Chains: Rheumatism, Painful and swelled Joints, Pains in the Back, Deafness, Blindness, Pfumly sis, Neuralgia in the Face, Long standing Ner vous Headache, Palpitation of the Heart, Gener al Debility, Dyspepsia,Female Diseases, Asthma, Contracted Joints &c. lOOO DOLLARS - - will he given to any person who will produce so ninny well authenticated certificates of care from intelligent patients and scientific physicians, of the above diseases, as has been performed by the use of the Elec!ric Chain during the past year. ANOTHER FAOT -- - - It is truly the fact that wherever the electric chains have been introduced, bottled nostrums and common lard have greatly diminished in sale, people having become disgusted with the practise of using their stomachs for drug shops. RECOMMENDATIONS. —.— The Electric Chains are highly recommended by Professors Mott, Van Buren, Post and Carno rhan, of New York; are also in daily use in every Hospital in that city. The chains will last for years, are always ready for use, and produce no injurious reecho, when used as directed. FEMALE DISEASES. The introduction of the Electric Chain into this country is the dawn of a new era in medicine.— During the lust twenty years, it can safely he es timated that ten thousand females hare died year ly from this one disease. PROLAPSUS UTERI It is well known to medical men that this com mon disease is beyond the reach of medicine, and that in proportion to the amount of medicine giv en, the more the patient is doomed to suffer, and sourer will death close the scene. During the last 2 years more than one thousand cases of Prolapses Uteri (falling of the womb) have been permanently cured in England and France. Most of those cases were ladies of high standing, who had previously tried all otherkinds of treatment with no benefit. Among the distin guished ladies that have been cured in Paris is the present Queen of Frame. In this country, du ring the last year, one hundred cases have been cured in the city of New York, many who have allowed their mimes to be published for the bene fit of those suffering with similar complaints.— The mode of use is simply to apply one end of a 30 link chain to the spine just above the hips, and the other end upon the abdomen, and allow the chain to remain for one hour. This to be repeat ed four times during the twenty-four hours. CHRONIC RHEUMATISM. The Electric Chains never fait to relieve the severe pains and swelling incident to this disease. The worst forms of this disease readily yield to a few applications of a chain, and in no single in stance have they failed to give instant relief, if they,did not effect a permanent cure. All persons who are victims of this usual winter complaint, are kindly invited to call and obtain a pamphlet of HORACE W. SMITH. Agent fur Hun tingdon county, who will also explain their mode of use. The electric chains can be sent by mail to any part of the United States, by addressing (post paid) any of the agents in the principal cities, or Joseph Steincrt, 568, Broadway New York.
