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

is one among the best, and is reliable and ac

Moore’s Sewing Machine.—We have one in
our family, and our better half is very much
pleased with it, not that it is r;ally 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.
("From B. Fulsome, Sumnter. S. C.d—Dear
Sir:—I am well pleased with my machine. 1
think 1 can say, with all truth, it is as good as
any of the machines that are now soiling for
$f()0. 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 1
ever saw, and in fact, the only really practical
one. i believe it to befall that is claimed for
it—simple, strong and durable, and for a fain

it her Sewing Machine in market, regardless
of price.—[H. H. Smith, Vice President of

H. W. Martin, Attorney at Law, Pino Bluff,

have ever seen, which is, 1 believe, the con

Rev. A. K. Winded, writing from Camden,

doing splendidly.”
(From R. S. Jones, firm of Jones. Brown &

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 might bo given, but these are
deemed sufficient to satisfy all reasonable per
sons of the superior excellence of the Moore’s

MOFFAT'S
Life Pills and Phteniz Bitters
mHESE MEDICINES have been before
A. 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 persoiis
suffering under nearly
every kind of dis
ease to which
the human
frame is
liable.
The following are among ihe distressing va
riety of human diseases in which the
Vegetable life Medicines
Are well known to bo infallible.
DYSPEPSIA,
By thoroughly cleansing the first and second
stomachs, and creating a (low of pure, healthy
bile, instead of the stale and acrid kind ;
FEATS S.EVUY,
Loss ok Appeaite, Heartburn, Headache,
Restlessness, Ill-Temper, Anxiety, Lan
guor, and Melancholy, which arc the gen
eral symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vanish, aa
natural consequence of its cure.
EOSTIVE3VESS,
By cleansing the whole length of the itnes
tines with a solvent process, and without vio
lence ; all violent purges leave the bowels
cdstive 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 three weeks, and
ROUT
in half that time, bv removin'- lorn! intt.iinn.
tiou 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 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 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 those Pills
for a very short time
will effect an en
tire cure of
SALT RHEUM,
and a striking improvement in the dearness
of the skin.
COMMON COEDS
—AND
INFLUENZA
will always he 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 Western country,
these Medicines will be found a safe,
speedy, and certain remedy. Other

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. Niyht Sweats, Nervous Debility, Ner
vous complaints of all kinds ; Palpitation of
:he 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
hey never fail to eradicate from the system,
ill the effects of mercury, infinitely sooner
han the most powerful preparations of Sar
iaparilla.
