WILCOX s. GIBBS
FAMILY SEWING MACHINE,
Price with HemmGr and Teller $40 TO SlOO,

THE WILCOX g. GIBBS Family Sewing
/ Sewing Machine, is the best Machine, with
out regard to price for Family Sewing, Braiding,
Hemmng, FEELING, Tucking, Cordng. 1t forms
a fat even seam, which will notrp in wear even
when cut at frequent intervals, and makes the
highest and most elastic seam, for Full Cloth, OF
any Machine stitch.
A peculiar feature Of this machine, which de-
serves particular attention, is PATENTED De-
VICE, which prevents the possibility of setting
the needle wrOng-and one which prevents the
Machine being turned wrong.
The Wilcox & Gibbs Hemmers and Fellers
are the only real practical Hemmers in use, and
are worth one half of the price of the Machine,
over all others for family use. They form mar
row, light hem or fell far nicer than can be done
by hand.
The feed has no tendency to draw soft, light
goods down into the machine, but willsew Linen
Cambria perfectly.
1t is acknowledged by all who see or use this
Machine that it is the easiest 20 learn to use and
keep in order of any Machine made.

IT is estimated that 100000 persons die annu-
| ally in the United States with consumption,
and Professor Ebcrly says, that vast number
of these could be saved by the timely use OF
some proper remedy.
DR. HALLS BALSAM strikes at the root OF
the disease AT ONCE, and such is its speedy eff
feet, that any one using it freely, according TO
directions, for twenty four or forty eight hours,
and not entirely satisfied with its merits may re-
turn it and receive back his money. The most
distressing cough is frequently relieved by a
single dose, and broken up in few hours time.
The afflicted do not have to take bottle after bot
tie before they find whether this remedy will
afford relief or not.
~ Call on the agent and get pamphlet gra-
tbs.
II has effected cures in numerous cases. where
the most skilltul physicians in this country and
in Europe have been employed, and have eXcr-
cised their skill in vain. Cases which they pro-
nounccd iRcUaJf, and surrendered as hopeless
beyond DOUBT leaving the patients without a
single ray to cnliven them in their gloom, have
been cured by Dbs. ~ AAL'~ BAL" AFs.
and the "yictims Of consumption" are now Wig
orOus and strong as the most robust among us.
And these cases are not isolated ones they are
numerous, and can be pointed out in every com
munity, where this most unriyaled remedy has
been tested.
Be slow, then, to believe the oft repeated story
about the lungs being gone; or rather let no
such apprehension induce you to give up. act
upon the principle that tclile there is life there Is
hOpe. You can NEVER BE so Low that yOu may
not trust, humanity speaking in HALLS BAL
SAM. More than one, nay hundreds, has II
brought almost from death to life, when all else
had failed. Give, then, this powerful but harnl-
less remedy a trial.
The public have been imposed upon by RENE
dies recommended by certificates which have
always originated from some unknown source.
We believe that medicine possessing real mer-
its will effect cures wherever it is used, at home
as well as abroad. This is no paregoric prepar-
ation but one which, if used in season, will save
the lives of thousands.
