Moore’s Patent Sewing Machine.—There
has been one in our family for the last month

(From B. Fulsome, Sumpter, S. C.)—Dear
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 1 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 1 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 for a lam

of price.—[II. H. Smith. Vice President of

MOFFAT’S
Life Pills and Phonix Bitters.
rpHESE MEDICINES hare been before
JL the Public for a period of
THIRTY YEARS,
and during that time have maintained a high
character in almost every part of tho
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 Appkaite, Heartburn, Headache,
Restlessness, Ill-Tempeh, Anxiety, Lan
guor, and Melancholy, which are the gen
eral symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vanish, as
natural consequence of its cure.
COSTIVEJVESS,
By cleansing the whole length of the itnes-1
tines with a solvent process, and without vio
lence ; all violent purges leave the, bowels
costive within two days.
FEVERS,
Of ali kinds, by restoring the blood to a reg
ular circulation, through the process
of respiration in such cases,
and the thorough solu
t.inn nf nil intestinal
obstruction in
others.
RHEUMATISM
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 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 boWeU
the slimy matter to which these
creatures adhere.
SCURVV, 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 npton the fluids thaS
feed the skin, and tho morbid state of
which occasions all eruptive com- '
plaints, sallow, cloudy, and a|ther
disagreeable complexldfli.
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
INFLUENZA
will always be cured in one dose, ©r by two
in the worst cases.
PILES.
Tho 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 tho Western country,
these Medicines will be found a safe,
speedy, and certain remedy. Other
meiiieines leave the system sub
ject to a return of tho disease.
A cure by Inese 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 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 tho most powerful preparations of Sar
saparilla.
