THE LIGHT RUNNING DOMESTIC"
The domestic"

The ''DOMESTIC'' is an exceedingly simple
machine in all its parts and processes. 1t is
easily unders TODD familiarity with its action ID
very quickly acquired, and it needs hardly ary
practice of s i al skill in the operator.
The superior advantages obtained in the DO
HEsTIC" arc mainly:
/. Light Running.
9 Quietness-no Cams or Gear Wheels.
.. Perfect Stitch-Double-thread Lock Stitch
1. Durability-arising from simplicity OF Coz
struclion.
5. Absence Of all Friction.
6. Great range of Work.
:. Ease Of Operation.
We do not say that the domestic" is the only
Machine worthy of public favor. We admit
there are some possessing real and acknow-
lodged merit but we do claim, and are prepared
20 demonstrate, tha. the "pOAEsTIC'' has many
excellences that render it decidedly superior 10
esnv other Mdcl1iac now before the public.
Let every woman, therefore, examine for her.
self into its merits when she buys a machine.
This is an important purchase, not TO be care
lessly made one that will influence her COM
fort, probably for long time. With ''DoMRs-
TIC" in her possession, she will find her sewing
become pleasant exercise Of skill and taste, in
stead of a slow manual drudgcry she will have

will Cleanse scrofula from the System
HONEST OPINION.

Mg. II. f. STENVENS:--
DEAR SIR--This is to show that my son wac
taken sick in January, 1854, with Scroinla,
which came out in large sores and ulcers on ms
leg and hip. His leg was swelleG more than
twice its natural size. He had several doctors
of high standing in their professionalism from
Boston and three from Charestown--wlthout
getting a biz better. lie was Obliged TO lie
wherever he was placed, for he had no use oi
his limbs " hatcver. When we had given up all
hopes Of his living We were told TO Try VEIL
TINE, the great blood remedy; and he mad
taken II but a short time before We could see
great change. The sores run so bad that we
had TO change the cloths four or five times
day. Still, be was getting better; fer he could
move his limbs and help himself little. He
was soon able to sit up in bed, and, by constant
use of VFGETINE, it has cured him. He has n
lame leg, which he will probably have for life !;
but we all honestly believe, If We had used
yEGETINE before we had bothered with those
doctors, Il would have saved the used Of his leg,
and restored IL TO natural health. ! hope all
those troubled with scrofula will read this testl-
mony Of me and my son, who Is now well ana
able 30 speak for himself.

The above plain honest statement concluslrely
shows the quick and thorough cleansing effects
of the VEGETINE in Scrofula.

people to be the best and most reliable blood
