Moore’s Patent Sewing Machine.—There
has been one in our family for the last month
or more. It gives complete satisfaction, and
is liked better the longer it is tried—it is sim
ple and easily worked, and does not seem lia
ble to get out of order.—[Texas Christian Ad
vocate.
Moore’s Sewing MachCne.—This Machine
is one among the best, arid is reliable ami ac
curate on all descriptions of work.—[Daily

Moore’s Patent; the very best in existence.
Every family should have one.—[Evansville
(Ind.) Enquirer.
Moore’s Sewing Machine.—We have one in
our family, and our better half is very much
pleased with it, not that it is really better than
Crovers .v, Maker’s, bat. it is simple and cheap
er than they are. It makes as beautiful and
substantial a stitch as any of them, and will be
used by the masses of the people.—[Memphis
Christian Advocate.
(From H. Fulsome, Sumpter, S. C.)—Dear
Sir :—I am well pleased with my machine. I
think I can say. with ali truth it is as good as
any of the machines that are now selling for
$100. For a family machine i think it the
very thing.
To whom it may Concern:—! have thor
oughly examined the machine known as
Moore’s Sewing Machine, and candidly asser*
that I consider it the best cheap-machine 1
ever saw, and in fact, the only really practical
one. i believe it to be all that is claimed for
it —simple, Strong and durable, and for a fam
ily machine, fully equal, if not better than any
other Sewing Machine in market, regardless
of price.—[11. H. Smith. Vice President of
the Ohio Mechanic’s Institute.
K. W. Martin, Attorney at Law, Pine Bluff,
Ark., writes: I think it the best machine I
have ever seen, which is, I believe, the con
viction of ail who have witnessed its operation.
Rev. A. R. Winded, writing from Camden.
Ark., says, with reference to a number of ma
chines sent to that place ; “The machines are
doing splendidly.”
(From It. S. Jones, firm of Jones. Brown &
Co., Memphis: “I have used Moore’s Sewing
Machine in my family about six months, and
it gives entire satisfaction. It is simple and
easily managed, and does equally well ail kinds
of family work.
The above notices are only a few of the
many which might be given, but these are
Jenmed sufficient to satisfy all reasonable per
sons of the superior excellence of the Moore’s
Patent. Every Machine is fully Warranted.
The low price of this machine, its adapta
tion to all kinds of family and plantation work
should recommend it to the consideration of
ivery family

MOFFAT’S
Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters.
rpHESE MEDICINES have been before
X the Public for a period of
THIRTY YEARS,
aDd during that time have Maintained a high
character in almost every |»rt of the
Ulobe, for their extraordinary and
immediate power of restoring
perfect health to persons
suffering under nearly
every kind of dis
ease to which
the human
frame is
liable.
The following are among the distressing va
riety of human diseases in which the
Vegetable life Medicines
Are well known to be infallible.
DYSPEPSIA,
By thoroughly cleansing the first and second
stomachs, and<breating a flow of pure, healthy
bile, instead of the stale and acrid kind ;
FEATEEE1VCY>
Loss OF Appf.aite, Heartburn, Headache,
Restlessness, Ill-Temper, Anxiety, Lan
guor, and Melancholy, which are the gen
eral symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vanish, as
natural consequence of its cure.
< OSTIYE3VFSS,
By cleansing the whole length of the itues
tines with a solvent process, and without vio-*
lence; all violent purges leave the bowels
costive within two days.
FEVERS,'
Of all kinds, by restoring the blood to a reg->
ular circulation, through the process
of respiration in such cases,
and the thorough solu
tion of all intestinal
obstruction in
others.
RHEUMATISM
permanently iu three weeks, arid
GOUT
in half that time, by removing local inflamu
tion from the muscles and liga
ments of the joints.
D OPSIES
of all kinds, by freeing and strengthening
the kidneys and bladder; they operate
most delightfully on these important
organs, and hence have ever been
found a certain remedy for
the worst cases ’ of
GRAVEL.
Also,
WORMS,
by dislodging from the turnings of the bowels
the slimy matter to which these
creatures adhere.
SCURVY, ULCERS,
—AND—
INVETERATE SORES,
by the' perfect purity which these
Life Medicines
give to the blood, and all the humors.
SCORRUTIC ERUPTIONS
—AND~
BA1> COMPLEXIONS,
by their alterative effect upon the fluids that
feed the skin, and the morbid state of
which occasions all eruptive com
plaints, sallow, cloudy, and other
disagreeable complexions.,
The use of these Pills
for a very short time
willeffectan en
tire cure of
SALT RHEUM,
|
and a striking improvement in the clearness
of the skin.
COMMON COLDS
—AND
INFLUENZA
will always be cured in one dose, or by two
^ in the worst cases.
PILES.
The original proprietor of these Medicines,
was cured of Piles, of thirty-five years stand
ing, by the use of the Life Medicines alone.
FEVER AND AGUE.
For this scourge of the Westwn country*
these Medicines will be found a safe,
speedy, and certain remedy. Other
medicines leave the system sub
ject to a return of the disease.
A cure by Uiese medi
cines is perinanet. ..’
TRY THEM, BE SATISFIED, AND BE CURED."
BILIOUS FEVERS AND LIVER
COMPLAINTS.
General Debility, Loss of Appetite, and Dis
eases of Females. The medicines have been
used with the most beneficial results in cases
of this description:
KINGS EVIL AND SCROFULA,
in it3 worst forms, yields to the mild yet
powerful action of these remarkable Medi
cines. Night Sweats, Nervous Debility, Ner
vous complaints of all kinds; Palpitation of
the heart, Painter’s Colic, are speediiy cured.
MERCURIAL DISEASES.
Persons whose constitutions have become im
paired by the injudicious use of Mercury,
will find these medicines a perfect cure, as
they nevei; fail to eradicate from the system,
all the effects of mercury, infinitely sooner
than the most powerful preparations of Sar
saparilla.
