$40 MOORE’S $40
SEWING MACHINE
Made expressly for
A.' /YJLY & PLANTATION USE.
(V/l AKING Ml a superior manner the “Double
A , Kock Stitch,” the strongest, most elastic
and durable made by any machine. Tbe best
judges pronounce the Moore’s Patent to be the
most simple, practicable and durable Machine
now before the public, and the most desirable
for Family use ; being reliable and accurate on
all kinds of goods; using from two ordinary
spools without rewinding, and size and kind
of thread from No, 8 to 200, 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 askedfor machines of less prac
tical value.
The proprietor offers the Moore’s Machine,
with the improvements, at $40 or $15 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.
Opiniousof the Press aod 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 belter 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, and is reliable and ac
curate on all descriptions of work.—[Daily
Gazette, Dayton, 0.
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
Grovers & Baker’s, but 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.

Sir:—I am well pleased with my machine. I
think I can say, with all 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 :—1 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. I believe it to be all that is claimed for
it—simple, strong and durable, and fora fam
ily machine, fully equal, if not better than any
ather Sewing Machine in matket, regardless
of price.—[H. H. Smith, Vice Piesidentof
the Ohio Mechanic’s Institute.
E. VV. Martin, Attorney at Law, Pine Bluff,
Ark., writes: I think it the best machine I
have ever seen, which is, 1 believe, 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 splendidly.”
(From R. 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. Jc is simple and
easily managed, and does equally well all kinds
of family work.
Tue 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
tion to all kinds of family and plantation work
should recommend it to the consideration of
every family

MOFFAT’S
Life Ms and Fhcsnix Bitters.
THESE MEDICINES have been before
the Public for a period of
THIRTY YEARS,
and during that time nave maintained ft 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 ftft*
riety of human diseases in which the
Vegetable life Medioines
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 j
FLATULENCY,
Loss of Apteaite, 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,
COSTIYENE88,
By cleansing the whole length of the itnes
tines with a solvent process, and without vio
lence; alt violent purges leave the bowels
costive within two days.
FEYERS,
Of all kinds, by restoring the blood to a reg
ular circulation, through the process
of respiration in such cases,
and the Ihorough solu
tion of all intestinal
obstruction in
others.
nuriTMiTlsH
permanently in three weeks, and
GOUT
in half that time, by removing local inflama*
tion from the muscles and liga
ments of the joints.
DROPSIES
of alt 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.
SCORBUTIC* ERUPTIONS
—AND
BAD COMPLEXIONS,
by tbeir 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
will effect an en
tire cure of
SALT RHEUM,
and a striking improvement in the clearness
of the skin.
COMMON COLDS
—AND
v wtkvw rw a
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 tbe use of the Life Medicines alone.
FEVER AND AGUE.
For this scourge of tbe Western country,
these Medicines will be found a safe,
speedy, and certain remedy. Other
medicines leave the system sub
ject to a /edit rn of the disease.
A cure by uese medi
cines'is permanet.
TRY THEM, BE SATISFIED, AND BE CUBED.
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 tbe 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.
