ARMITAGE'S Patent Magnetic Lightning Rods,
and in this alone. This Rod has been examined by the most seientific gentlemen in the world-Professors M.Murtrie, Johnson, Wallor, and many others that have examined them, recommend and speak of them in the highest terms of approbation, and have pronounced them the only safe rods now in use in this or any other country, FOR THE PROTECTION OF LIVES AND PROPERTY. One advantage is to divide and throw back a part of the electric fluid harmless to the Clouds, this is 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 advantages over the old one. The only place of manufac- facturing is in
Vine Street, Three doors above Twelfth Street, Philadelphia,
where all persons are respectfully invited to call and examine for them- selves. For Sale Wholesale and Retail.
My only agent for the Eastern States is MR. CHAS. STACKPOLE, No. 300 Washington Street, Boston.

DR. HEINTZELMAN'S GUM-ELASTIC PAD TRUSS.
The great and signal benefits which are produced by this Truss, result from its strict subservience to, and its accordance with, scientific and surgical principles. Its mechanical adaptation to the parts, the simplicity of construction, the limited motion nicely gradnated, by experiment, to the different attitudes of the body, and to the ac- tion of the muscles, the permanency of its location on the body, and its pressure on the circumference of the abdominal ring, are qualities, the tendency of which are to strengthen and restore the weakened parts, to contract the aperture, and ultimately to accomplish a cure of the disease. The operation aud effect of this Truss is there- fore directly the reverse of all 'Trusses heretofore in use, which, being convex, tend to enlarge the rupture opening.
