(From B. Fulsome, Sumpter, S. C.)—Dear
Sir:—I am well pleased with iny machine. I
think 1 can say, with ali truth, it is as goodas
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. J believe it to he all that is claimed for
it—simple, strong and durable, and for a fam
ily machine, fully equal, if not better than jny
other Sewing Machine in market, regardless
of price.—[H. 11. Smith, Vice President of
the Ohio Mechanic’s Institute.
K. VV. Marlin, Attorney at Law, Pine Bluff,

have ever seen, which is, i believe, the con
viction t*.f all who have witnessed its operation.

chines sent, to that place : "The machines are
doing splendidly.”
(From It. S. Jones, firm of Jones. Brown &

Machine in my family about six months.ftmd
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 might be given, but these are
deemed 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

should recommend it to the consideration of
every family.

riHESE MEDICINES have been before
JL tlie Public for a period of
THIRTY YEARS,
nd 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.
'he following are among the distressing va
riety of human diseases in which the
Vegetable life Medicines
ire well known to be infallible.
DYSPEPSIA,
ly thoroughly cleansing the first and second
tomachs, and crrating"a How of pure, healthy
ile, instead of the stale and acrid kind;
FLATULENCY,
.oss or Appeaite, Heartburn, Headache;
Iestlessness, Ill-Temper, Anxiety, Lan
uor, and Melancholy, which are the gen
ial symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vanish, as
atural consequence of its cure.
IOSTIYENESS,
ly cleansing the whole length of the itnes
Ines with a solvent process, and without vio
snce; all violent purges leave the bowels
ostive within two clays.
FEVERS,
)f all kinds, by restoring tie 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
lermanently in three weeks, and
GOUT
n half that time, by removing local inflama
tion from the muscles and liga
ments of the joints.
DROPSIES
:)f 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 bowcld
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
BAD 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.

for a very short time
will effect an en
tire cure of
