SWEDISH MOVEMENT CURE,

FOR THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC DISEASES, LOCAL AND
GENERAL WEAKNESS, AND SPINAL DEFORMITIES.

The Movement Cure is a system of medical practice, by
which remedial effects are obtained by the scientific and sys-
tematic, application of motivn.

Prominent among the cases treated are Spinal Curva-
tures, Distorted Shoulders, Weak Lungs. Paralysis, Con-
stipation, Dyspepsia, Torpidity of Liver, Rheumatism, Im-
perfect Circulation, all Nervovis Affections, and all Weak-
nesses of Women and Children.

For Spinal Curvatures, it is the only rational treatment.

For Nervous Diseases, it is the most effectual remedy.

For enlarging the Chest and st lengthening weak Lungs,
it is the only means.

Children with smalt, flabby Muscles^ narrow Chests, and
low vitality, are rapidly and permanently improved.

Ladies in delicate health, will find substantial relief in the
careful and at length thorough exercises of the MOVEMENT
CURE.

We have had great experience in our profession, having
heretofore managed the largest and most successful institu-
tion of the kind in New England.

Our rooms are large and pleasant, and apparatus perfect
and complete. Any further information cheerfully given
upon application either personally or by letter.

The Business of Chicago,

So large and so important, reaching in monopoly
over a territory larger than the entire New England
States, and largely connected with the trade and com-
merce of every known country in the world, has no
success more complete or emphatic in its history than
that of

WILLCOX & GIBBS'

SILENT SEWING MACHINE.

The Proprietors, L. COKNELL & CO., have for
years stood among the most prudent, careful, and suc-
cessful of our leading business men, and their posi-
tion and enterprise, together with the greatest favor
with which their famous Sewing Machine is every-
where received, identify them largely with the pros-
perity, history, and growth of Chicago. The name
of their machine is a household word in every civilized
part of the world, and no machine or firm is probably
more favorably and widely known throughout the en-
tire West, than the Willcox & Gibbs' Sewing Ma-
chine and L. Cornell & Co., whose success is mainly
due to the great merit of their goods and the high po-
sition won by uniform courtesy, integrity, candor,
and honor, which characterize so many of our prom-
inent business men.

A WOED TO THE READER



THE want of a Guide Book, such as the
one here presented to the public, has been
so long felt and so generally acknowledged,
that an apology for the present work is quite
unnecessary. The design of this work is
not only to furnish the immense number of
strangers who visit this metropolis of the
Northwest with a complete Guide to the
public institutions and objects of interest,
for which this young city has already become
so famous, but at the same time contains a
vast amount of matter, useful and valuable,
that recommends it to the citizen as well as
stranger. A glance at the Table of Contents
will say more in its favor than can be said
by the recommendation of the publisher.
2 13



A WORD TO THE READER.

We have also thought it proper to incor-
porate in this Strangers' Hand-Book the
names of a few of onr first-class houses in the
various lines of trade, thereby rendering it a
complete guide in this respect. The location
of the stores may readily be found by con-
sulting the Business Index.

THE WESTERN RURAL,

An Illustrated, Double-Quarto, Agricultural, Horticultural, and
Family Weekly,



H. N. F. I.EWIS,

EDITOR AND PUBLISHER.
WITH AN EFFICIENT CORPS OF ASSISTANTS AND CONTRIBUTORS,

84 AND 86 DEARBORN STREET,
Between Randolph and Washington Streets.



The Sixth Volume of this excellent and most successful
Weekly commenced January 1, 1868. It has met a remark-
able success, but not more than its real merits deserve. It
is devoted mainly to Rural affairs, but gives also a great
variety of Family Reading, choice original and selected
Stories, and has a "Children's Corner" full of nice things
for the little ones, a valuable department for the Ladies, etc.
The market reports are a leading feature.

Its suc-cess is a striking example of Western growth and
the result of well-directed enterprise. By liberally adver-
tising its merits, and by remarkably generous gifts of pre-
miums to those who raise clubs of subscribers, the Pub-
lisher has already secured for it a circulation more than twice
att large as any other Journal of its class west of New York !
During the year 1867 he gave away over $12,000 worth of
Sewing Machines alone. The Premium List embraces not
only Sewing-Machines, the Wheeler A Wilson, Wilcox &
Gibbs, and Howe, but a large variety of other highly desirable
premiums for clubs of various sizes.

Residents and Visitors are invited to call at the Business
Office, and Editorial and Printing Rooms, at 84 and 86 Dear-
born Street, and make themselves known and receive speci-
men copies (free) for their own use, or to send to friends
East or West.

The terms of subscription are $2.50 per year, and only
$^.00 in clubs of four or more.

EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND ACRES OP

FAEMING AND FRUIT LANDS

fur Sale by the Illinois Central Railroad Company.

A considerable
portion of these
lands lie on the
Chicago Branch
of the Illinois
Cential Railroad,
south from Chi-
cago from 60
j to 149 miles, in
the centre of the
corn belt and
most favored
climate, where
the range for
grazing is ex-
tensive, and
healthful water
from artesian
wells readily ob-
tained at a small
expense, and di-
rect railroad
communication
with the great
markets of Chi-
cago and Cairo,
lor Grain of
all kinds, and
stock raising,
these lands are
I unsurpassed
I Sheep thrive
well, requiring
fodder but a
short season,

and cheese factories are being successfully established along the

entire line.

FRUIT GROWINO

In Southern Illinois, is very profitable. A crop here seldom if ever fails. The
early ripening of fruit enables the grower to command the high prices of the first
of the season in all the Northern country. A Special Fruit Express Train
runs to Chicago during the Fruit Season, and over 1.000.000 boxes of peaches, be-
