reasons:
1. They sew direct from the spools, and
require no re-windng of thread.
,. They are more easily understood and
used, and less liable to arrangement than 9TH
CT machines.
3. They are capable of executing perfect
". without change of adjustment, a much
greater variety of work han other machines.
4. The stitch made by these machines i
much more firm. elastic. and durahle, espe-
cially dpon articles which require to be wash
cd and iroaed than any other stitch
). This stitch. owing TO the manner in
which the outer thread is Inwrought. is much
the most plume and beautiful In use, and re-
tains this plumpness and beauty even upon
articles frequently washed aud TOned until
they arc worn out
6. The structure Of the seam is such that,
though it be cut or broken at intervals Of on
" few stitches, it viii neither open. run, nor
ravel. but remains firm and durable.
!. Unlike other machines, these fasten
both euds of the seam by their own opera
tion.

upon the right or face side of the seam. cot
ton NAV he sed upon the other side without
lessenir- the strength or durability 90 the
seam. This can be done Oh no other ma
chine, and is a great saving upon all articles
stitched or made up with SILK.

White PINE COMPOUND.
THE WHITE PINE COMPOUND CURES.

at was early in the spring of1S55 that this Com
pound was originated. A member ofmy family was
afflicted with an irritation of the throat, attended
with disagreeable cough. / had for some months
previous thought that preparation, having for
its basis the inside bark ofwhite PINE might be so
compounded as to be very useful in the case ofthe
throat and lungs. To test the value of it in the
ease alluded to- l compounded asmall quantity Of
the medicine that l had been planning, and gave
it in teaspOonful doses. The result was exceed
ngly gratifying. Within two days the irritation
ofthe throat was removed, the cough subsidized, and
4 speedy cure was effected. Soon after this sent
some to q lady in Londonderry, II. H., who had
oeen suffering for some weeks from bad cough.
,ccasiOned by sudden cold, and had raised mucus
streaked with blood. She soon found relief, and
sent for more. She took about ten ounces of it,
and got well. J.B Clark. ESQ., editor ofthe Man
chester Daily Mirror, made trial Of the same
preparation in the case of severe cold. and was
cured Immediately. He so highly pleased
With the results and 50 confident ofsuccess attend
ing its sales if placed before the public that he
inally persuaded me to give it a name and send
It abroad to benefit the suffering"
