WHEELER'S PATENT CHAIN
OVERSHOT THRASHERS, FEED
CUTTERS, &c.
The above cot represents a single or one
ttorae machine with the hands necessary to
Attend it.
The subscribers lake Ibis method of in
forming Ibe public in general, that tbey have
for some time been carrying on, in all their
various branches, the manulactute and sale
of Wheeler's Patent Chain Horse Powers,
together with Overshot Thrashers, Feed Cut
ters, Revolving Horse Rakes, &c., in Light
Street, Columbia 00., and the town of North
umberland, Northumberland co., Pa.
The Horse-Power#
•re strong and durable, and very simple in
their construction: run light, and ate not
liable to get out of order.- With a slight ele
vation, the weight alone of the horte or
bones drives the Thrasher with force and
speed. They may also be need for various
other purposes, such a driving Circular Saws,
Turning Lathee, Boring Machines, Grind
stones, Churns, etc. etc.
Tlie Overshot Machine*
have several advantages over the machines
now in use. The aprou or feeding table is
level, and of a proper height to allow the
feeder to stand etcct, and feed evenly and
easily without annoyance from dust; sticks
and stone are uot liable to gel into the
thrasher, and the grain is not scattered, but
thrown dowi' the separator. The two
bona machine, attended by from two to
three Iguids, will thrash from 100 to 150
buahels of wheat, or double the amount of
oats per day. The one horse machine, at
tended by two or three hands, will thrash
from 50 to 75 bushels of wheat, or double
the amount of oats per day. The Feed-
Cutler is a first rate article, and is very much
used. It cuts fine and very fast; stalks are
cut by it 3-8 of *n inch long, at he rate
of Worn 300 to 500 sheaves per day.
The foregoing is a brief statement of the
qualities and character of our machines.—
There probably is a larger number of
Wheeler's Patent Powers made and sold
than any other kind. We offer our ma
chinos to the farming communi'y with full
confidence in theii merits, and invite all in
terested to call and examine them before
purchasing elsewhere.

ordering machines, address the subscribers

outline maps, each covering naarfv 50 square
feet, and lorming an iuvjduabla as well as
elegant ornaments for tb#school room.
Children are delighted to study Geography
by this system. Theft-learn so rapidly and
reoeive such clear impressions of the subject,
that it is a pleasure to both teacher and pu
pil to be engaged in it. Wa all know that a
better and more lasting idea of a locality is
obtained by looking at a bald and distinct
drawing of it, than by volumes of descrip
tion. If a man wants to get an exact idea
of a farm he has been purchasing, he learns
more by one iook at the draft on the hack of
the deed, than by reading the description in
side twenty times. This is the great princi -
ple of Pelton's system of Geography, and
there are others equally practical combined
with it wbicb entitle il lo the regulation it
sustains, as the best and quickest mode of
leaching Geography, vet introduced.
PHI SICAL GEOGRAPHY—including all
the invaluable discoveries in this science, of
Lieut. Maury and bis coadjutors, is besuli
fully illustrsied by these mopo and the ac
companying keys. The keys are to bo used
by the scholars, and cost less than half tho
ptice of a Geography and Atlas.

TONICS trN'T DO.
riIHEY never did do more than give tempo
rary relief end they never will. It ia be
cause they don't touch the cause of the dis
ease. The cause of all ague and billions dis
eases ia the atmospheric poison called Mias
ma or Malaria. Neutralize this poison by
its
NATURAL ANTIDOTE,
and all diseases caused by it disappears ai
one#, Rhodes' Fever and Ague Cure is ibis
A middle In Malaria, and moreover it is a
perfectly harmless fiWUMna. The certificate
of the celebrated chemist, 1. R. Chilton, of
New York, to this effect, is attached to every
bottle; therefore if il does no good it cur. do
no harm.
This is more than can be said of Quinine,
Arsenic, or any tonic in existence, as their
use is rninous to the constitution and brings
011 DUMB AGUE, which never allows a per
son to feel perfectly well for a single moment.
In illusttation of these truths I annex some
extracts from a letter just received from a
Physician:
Georgetown, Ohio, March 17, '56.
Jab. A. Rhodes, Esq.—Dear Sir: Yours ol
2d inst. is at hand. The Cure arrived late
last year and the difficulty in gelling any one
to try it was greatly increased from tbe fact
thai a remedy bad been .introduced which
was growing in favor with the public, as be
ing bolter than nsing Quinine,—not knowing
I presume that tbe remedy tbey needed to
escape taking Quinine, contained tbe DRUG
ITSELF 1
This remedy, (kncw-i as "Smith's Tonic,")
would in variably BREAK an ague, bu: it did
not CURE it, and it would ofteu return with
renewed vigor. The one circumstance I
deemed in your favor, if I could institute a
lest comparison between it and your CURE.
The lollowing ia the result:
Three persons took your "Cure," all of
which wore coses of "Quotidian Intermit
tent Fever," of many wgtfts standing. They
had tried Quinine,.andttelher remedies, occa
sionally missing n i li J,but it was, (aa in all
such cases,) slowly wearing them out, aud
laying the foiindati® of outer and severer
maladies. I did succeed in effecting a radi
cal cure of all three af these cases with your
remedy, and they bm not had a chill since.
In all three of these cattae the "Smith's Ton
ic" had been used, ant would, as before sta
ted, break the chill, boLpfter a period or two
had elapsed it would relKL^
1 think there will be mPHHiiculiy now in
giving to your "Cure" the pf
any other remedy now in uDHKmi
WILLIAM BUCKNpR, M. D.
RHODES' FEVER and AGUE CURE, or
Antiilote to Malaria, the only barmlaM mine
! dv in existence, is equally certain a*a PRE
VENTIVE, as a "CURE." Take iW'when
j yon feel the chill coming on, and you. will
. never have a single one.
