a greater extent than any other remedies known

ships, exposure, fevers sc.
There is no medicine extant equal to these rem
edies in such cases. A tone and vigor is mpart-
ed to the whole system, the appetite is strength
perly, the blood is purified, the complexion be-
comes sound and healthy, the yellow tinge is
eradicated from the eyes, a bloom is given to the
cheeks, and the weak and nervous invalid be-
comes a strong and healthy being.
Persons advanced in life and feeling the hand Of
time weighing heavily upon them, with all its
attendant ills will find in the use of this Bitters
or the Tonic, an elixir that will instll new lifi
into their veins restore in measure the energy
and ardor of more youthful days. build up theii
shrunken forms, and give health and happiness
to their remaining years.

''The simplicity and accuracy of its mechanism
prevent its dropping stitches, to which many 9th

brought the t'chain stitch into dsrepute. One
cannot but admire the beauty and accuracy of its
movements, and the entire absence OF all morse,
even when running at the rate OF 1000 stitches
and upward per minute. This alone must prove
a great recommendation to it. Another merit is
the good workmanship. The parts are made in
