Lightning Rods.
The Subscriber calls the attention of the Public to his Superior
& RODS.
It is now fully admitted on all hands, that every building, to be secure from the destructive influences of Lightning, should be provided with a good conductor.
The large number of worthless Rods that are put up makes it necessary for pur- chasers to examine the merits of the different Rods offered for sale.
I earnestly invite a rigid examination of the principles on which my Rods are constructed.
I have put up nearly 6,000 Rods, and have never heard of the loss of one dollar's worth of property by lightning in any building to which one of my Rods has been attached. I therefore feel great confidence in recommending them, not only as the best, but as the only safe Rod in use.
The following gentlemen having examined these Rods, and given them their unqualified approbation, have kindly given me their permission to refer to them :- WALTER R. JOHNSON, Commissioner of Patents, HENRY McMURTRIE, M. D., T. E. WALLER, M. D. For sale, Wholesale and Retail, at the Factory,
Vine Street, above Twelfth Street, Philadelphia. THOMAS ARMITAGE.

GREATEST CURE IN THE WORLD FOR PAIN.
DE GRATH'S "ELECTRIC OIL" DEPOT,
No. 39 SOUTH EIGHTH STREET,
THREE DOORS BELOW CHESTNUT STREET,
PHILADELPHIA.
This Oil is the only sure remedy in the world for the cure of Rhen- matism, Gout, Pains in the Back, Breast or Side, Palpitation of the Heart, Paralytic Stroke, Toothache, Headache, Cramps in the Stomach, Serofula, Frosted Hands or Feet, Sore Eyes, Piles, Sprains or Bruises, Sores or Burns, Stiffness in the Joints, Tetter or Salt Rheum, Neuralgia, Sore Breasts, or any diseases that are Sore or Painful ; is the only article over brought before the public that will do its work perfectly in from 3 to 20 minutes ; has been used by thousands, and pronounced to be the best remedy ever discovered.
This Oil acts on the system with electricity ; is of pure vegetable preparation ; not the slightest danger of applying it outwardly or in- wardły ; it at once gives a permanent cure, in most cases, from 10 to 20 minutes.
The best physiologists of Europe have discovered that all Organic Derangement in the Animal System is the effect of an obstruction of the Physico-Electro Fluid in the organ diseased. A skillful application of this Oil puts in immediate motion the nerve fluid, and the cure is at once accomplished. No bleeding, no vomiting, purg- ing, or blistering is resorted to.
NONE GENUINE WITHOUT THE SIGNATURE OF
LABELS Signed in KO- WRITING.
