$40 MOORE’S $40
SEWING MACHINE
Made expressly for
A PLANTATION USE.
(VI AKI^G in a superior manner the ‘‘Double
Stitch.” the strongest, most elastic
and durable made by any machine. The b-st
judges pronounce the Moore’s Patent to be the
most simple, practicable and durable Machine
now before the public, and the most desirable
ni • j' i Use ’ being reliable and accurateon
a.l lands of goods; using from two ordinary
spools without rewinding, and size and kind
of thread from No, 8 to £00, and sewing with
equal facility the thickest and thinnest goods
used in families, together with a variety of
beautiful Embroidery work, and sold at about
half the price asked for machines of less prac
tical value.
The proprietor offers the Moore’s Machine,
with the improvements, at <640 or $45 when
sold at a distance by Agents; and invites all
persons, ladies especially, to examine it thor
oughly, and satisfy themselves of its real
merit.
Opinions of th Pressa-rd Public.
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 Machine.—This Machine
is one among the best, apd is reliable and ac
curate on all descriptions of work.—[Daily
Gazette, Davton, 0.
Moore’s Patent; the very best in existence.
Every family should have one.—[Evansville
(fr.d.) 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 rsally better than
Grovers & Baker’s, but it is simple and cheap
er Ulan they are. It makes as beautif ul and
substantial a stitch as any of them, and will be
used by the masses of the people.—[Memphis
Christian Advocate.
(From B. 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 :—I have thor
oughly examined the machine known as
Moore’s Sewing Machine, and candidly assert
that I consider it the best cheap machine I
ever saw, and in fact, the only really practical
one. 1 believe it to be all that is claimed for
it—simple, strong and durable, and for a fain
ily machine, fully equal, if not better than any
jlher Sewing Machine in market, regardless
of price.—[H. H. Smith, Vice President of
the Ohio Mechanic’s Institute.
E. W. Martin, Attorney at Law, Pine Bluff.
Ark., writes: I think it the best machine I
have ever seen, which is, i beiieve, the con
viction of all who have witnessed its operation.
Rev. A. R Winfied, writing from Camden,
Ark., says, with reference to a number of ma
chines sent to that place: ‘‘The machines are
doing ;,plendidly.”
(From R. S. Jones, firm of Jones. Brown &
Co., Memphis: “I have used Moore’s Serving
Machine in my family about six months, and
it gives entire satisfaction It is simple and
easily managed, and does equally well all kinds
of family work.
The above notices are only a few of the
many which in: ..it be given, but these are
deemed sufficient to satisfy ail reasonable per
tons of the superior excellence of the Moore’s
Patent. Every Machine is fully Warranted.
The Jew price of tills machine, its adapta

ihould recommend it to the consideration of

MOFFAT’S
Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters.
THESE MEDICINES have been before '
the Public for a period of
THIRTY YEARS,
and during that time have maintained a high
character in almost every part of the
Globe, 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 creating a flow of pure, healthy
bile, instead of the stale and acrid kind ;
FLATULENCY,
Loss of Afpeaite, Heartburn, Headache,
Restlessness, Ill-Temper, Anxiety, Lan
guor, and Melancholy, which are the gen
eral symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vanish, an
natural consequence of its cure.
tOSTIVENESS,
By cleansing the whole length of the itnes
tincs with a solvent process, and without vio
lence ; all violent purges leave the bowel#
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 in thrae weeks, and
GOUT
• u half that time, by removing local intlama
tion from the muscles and liga
ments of the joints.
DROPSIES
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 certaiu 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.
SCORBUTIC ERUPTIONS
—AND
RAD 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 Pill*
for a very short time
will effect an 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, dr 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 Western country,
these Medicines will be found & safe,
speedy, and certain remedy. Other
medicines leave the system sub
ject to a return of the disease.
A cure by luese medi
cines is permanet.
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 its 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 speedily 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 never fail to eradicate from the system,
all the effects of mercury, infinitely sooner
than the most powerful preparations of Sar
saparilla.
