Special Notites.
General Debility is Natures Apparel for
Help.

Thousands of persons, without any specific
ailment, are the victims of languor and lassitude.
The unthinking are apt to coufound this species
of merton, with laziness whereas it usually
arises from want of organic energy, for which
the subjects of it are no more responsible than
the near-sighted are for their defective vision.
Such persons, although they may be free from
pain are as truly nvalds, and as much in need
of medical aid, as if they tormented with
the pangs of acute disease. They require
TONIC and ALrERATIvE, that will rouse and regu-
late their torpid organizations. In cases OF this
kind, HosTETTER's STOMACH BITTERs produce an
immediate and most favorable effect. The de-
bliated and desponding valetudinarian, who
feels as if he were but half alive; who shunS
company, and has no relish either Cor business
or pleasure, is metamorphosed, By brief course Of
this most potent vegetable invigordnt, into quite
different being The change effected by the BIT
TIERS, in his bodily and mental condition, is a
surprise to himself and to his friends. He
mopes no longer; the active principle of life,
which seemed to have died out of him, is re-
awakened, and he feels like a man. Re-
membering that debility is not only an afilicton
itself but an limitation TO disease, no time should
be lost in recruiting the broken-down system
with this choicest and most potent of all ToNIcs
AND NERvIYEs.

The Machine which bears the name of Elias
Howe, Dr., has long been regarded as the stand
ard of excellence, and has become celebrated
the world over. The work done by these Ma
chimes Is unsurpassed-sewin the thnest mus
lin or the thickest cloth with equal facility and
requiring no extra adjusting for uneven thick
ness passing over seams it turns its own
hem as it sews, sewing seam stronger than tho
fabric itself. To it hem, fell, tuck, braid,
cord, quit and gather, it seems more like thing
Of life than n machine moved by the will of the
operator. 1t is capable Of doing every descrp-
ton Of sewing that is required in family and
also for seamstrcsses and drcssmNkcrs it will be
found invaluable. They seldom, or never give
any trouble in operating, and in word, are the
most satisfactory Sewmg Nachines IN use.
Notwithstanding their great superiority, they
are sold ut prices ms low us other irst-cmss ma
chimes.
A Medallion likeness of Mr.. Howe is embedded
in the plates of every Howe Machine, without
which none are genuine. Every purchaser of
Sewing Machine, should inquire for Elias Howe,
Jr's Sewing Machine, and if they are not sold in
their vicinity, address the General Agency for
Illustrated, etc, and do not purchase until you
have thoroughly investigated these renowned
machines.
