SAMUEL SIMES' PURE COD LIVER OIL.

NO KNOWN TEST will recognise pure Cod, from other fish liver oils, or even from extensive sophistication with other oils. The character of the manufacturer is the only guarantee of genuineness.

COMMERCIAL, OIL is seldom or NEVER pure; Hake, Pollock, Haddock, Dogfish, even Seal, Lard, or Whale oils, con- stitute portions or wholly the article usually supplied as Cod Liver Oil; jeopardizing the life of the patient and sapping the reputation of both vender and physician.

PERSONAL INVESTIGATION of the above facts induced me at considerable expense to supply my customers with an article of MY OWN MANUFACTURE. The extraordinary favor it has received; its great superiority in quality, appear- ance, and effectiveness, have created a demand which enables me to give that personal supervision to its manufactura by which I am enabled to guarantee it absolutely pure and unequalled by any other.

My oil is separated from fresh and healthy Livers of the Cod alone, the same day the fish are canght, by a process which yields it just as it naturally exists in the liver cella of the live fish; so bland and fresh, that the most sensitive palato will take it with pleasure; contradistinguished from all others by its unaltered natural condition, by its per tect transparency, absolute purity, and freshness, it has received the patronage of the first physicians throughout the con- tinent, an award from the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, and the medal at the World's Fair, London.

It is handsomely wrapped, in large bottles, each accompanied by an elaborate treatise, illustrative of its source, pre- paration. properties, &c., &r,, and carefully packed for transportation.

&PURCHASERS AND CONSUMERS desirous of employing the pure tasteless Oil, should be very cautious in ob serving that my name is impressed upon every bottle, and my written signature in ruby ink upon every label.

A LIST OF PRICES, with my copy-righted illustrated treatise, will be furnished gratis to post-paid applicants.

LIGHTNING RODS.

The awful calamities that every City, Town, Village, and Country falls victim to annually, through the gross negligence of its inhabitants, is beyond calcu- lation, and especially when the remedy is so easy to obtain-this is found in

ARMITAGE'S Patent Magnetic Lightning Rods,

And in this alone. This Rod has been examined by the most scientific 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 approba- tion, 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 in time of a Stroke, enables the Rod to conduct that portion of fluid that belongs to the earth without the slighest danger of leaving the conductor. This Rod has many other advantages over the old one. The only place of Manufacturing is in

Vine Street, three doors above Twelfth, Phila.

where all persons are respectfully invited to call and examine for themselves. FOR SALE, WHOLESALE AND RETAIL.

SUCCESSOR TO YERGER & ORD,

PATENTEE AND MANUFACTURER

OF THE

ARTIFICIAL LEG,

ANKLE SUPPORTER, AND

IMPROVED ANATOMICAL MACHINERY

FOR THE

REATMENT OF SPORMIETES.

The Metallic Skeleton Limb is light, neat, strong and durable, it is constructed of steel ribs, and rings, or bands united together upon the prin- ciple of a lattice bridge, or arch, one piece bra- cing and sustaining the other, rendering it capa- ble of bearing any required weight; the socket or receptacle of the stump being open below, allows a free circulation of air, keeping it al- ways cool and healthy, thereby preventing ul- ceration, which is almost invariably the conse- quence when the stump is confined in air-tight sockets.

The motions of the knee and ankle joints ap- proach so near to nature as to render it almost impossible to distinguish it from the natural limb, and it can be adapted to every form of amputation, and worn without the least difficulty.

No stronger proof can be given of its supe- riority than the fact that it has been examined and approved of by all the eminent Surgeons and Physicians in Philadelphia, and elsewhere, to whom we take pleasure in referring at all times.

The Massachusetts Charitable Mechanics As- PILLINER sociation, the American Institute New York, and the Franklin Institute Philadelphia, have awarded Silver Medals to Yerger & Ord, for the Skeleton Leg and Deformity apparatus constructed by them.

Every information in reference to the Metallic Leg, Ankle Supporter, and Instru- ments for Deformity, will be given, on application personally, or by letter (post paid) to

N. E. Corner of Eighth and Arch Sts.

PHILADELPHIA.

W. C. WILLMARTH, (late of the New Hat Co.,) respectfully invites the public to the above establishment, where may be found an elegant assortment of

Hats, Caps, Umbrellas, &c., %

Of every description in vogue. In particular, he would call attention to his

MOLESKIN HATS AT 3 DOLLARS.

Which for Beauty, Durability and every thing that constitutes a good Hat, will bear comparison with those generally sold elsewhere for $4. His stock of Gent's and Youth's

SOFT SPORTING

Wide Awakes and Travelling Caps,

CANNOT BE SURPASSED,

And the prices are so low as to place them within the reach of all.

THE LADIES,

He would state, that it is his intention to keep always on hand such a variety of

CHILDREN'S FANCY HATS,

Welbet and Cloth Embroidered Caps,

RIDING HATS, BEAVER & FELT BONNETS,

That all tastes may be suited, from the most expensive to the most economical, and hopes by strict attention to the wants of the public, to merit a share of their patronage.
