THE NEW WILSON
OSciIlating Shuttle

Is wonderful in its conception, uupreceden-
ted in doing large range of sewing in textile
fabrics and leather. Its motions are continu-
Gus, admitting of an extraordinary rate OF
speed, either by steam or foot power. Every
motion of the treadle makes the stitches, thus
producing about one-third more work in day
than other Sewing Machines. 1t has no stop
motions, and tightens the stitch with the needle
out of the fabric. 1t has two-thirds less parts
than any other frst-class Sowing Machine
Its simple, powerful and perfect mechanism
places it as tar in advance of all other Sewing
Machines as the telephone is superior to the
tin snea king tnhe. Tha

To relieve the aching heart of women and
bring Joy where sorrow reigned supreme, is
a mission before which the smiles of kings
dwindle into utter insignifcance. To do this
is the peculiar province of Dr. J. Bradfeld's
Female Regulator, which, from the number
less cures it has accomplished, is appropriate
ly styled "Woman's Best Friend The dis
tressing complaint KIN own as the whites" and
the various irregularities of the womb, to
which woman is subject disappear like magic

pound. Ask your druggist for it. For sale
