That Wonderful Machine.

We have spoken several times about an inn provement in @ sewing machine that would run two or moro needles at time which has attracted attention. Aal the large sewing machine factories have tried in vain for years to accomplish this, in an invention that would be at once simple and practical for fast running. The New Haven Ruffie con- pany, through one of it's officers (Mr. R. H. Hawkins), has hit upon plan which is pro- nounced by the best sewing machine experts as the best ever accomplished. The of ficers of the Singer Manufacturing company were so well pleased with it's workings that from a conference with them at their office in New York, few weeks ago, they had one built at their shop at Elizabethport and sent it to New Haven few days ago for trial It is being daily examined by the best machin- ists and all agree that it is perfect success There can be little doubt of this, for the in vention has been in active working in the Ruffie company's shop for nearly two years and the result is well known to scores of those who have seen it in operation. Everyone who has seen the machine says it has great future before it.

For years Mrs Lydia E. Pinkhana has been contending with the terrible hydra known as disease, with what surprising suc- cess many who were in the serpent's coils will testify. Often has the powerless victim been snatched from the open jaws of the destroyer.

"WILSONIA" Magnetic Appliances

The inventor of our appliances at their first introduction prescribed pieces as ne- cessary to permeate the entire system with magnetism and thus obtain cure. These have been called our body suit, and agents have been required to insist upon the entire suit in their sales the reputation of the Wilsonia was at stake in the matter. In many
 cases even greater number of appliances seemed necessary. It has been matter which it has been impossible to decide only by experiment. In a few instances recently we have learned that half the number of pieces have wrought great relief Even the belt alone. The Wilsonia Magnetic Clothing Go. have decided not to limit their agents any longer as to the amount of appliances, as they regard the success of the Wilsonia for the past three years in curing chronic dis eases as PLACED BEYOND ALL QUES- TON, so that if one, two or three appli- ances do not cure the six or more pieces will, If curable. So it is safe for the company now to allow the patient to buy as few pieces as they choose, and then add more if it is necessary. So we suggest that now during the warm season those suffering from Catarrh should try the Belt, ,Insoles and Sleeping Cap We now honestly think they may cure and can be worn during the warm season without discomfort, and are more effective and if not sufficient to complete cure it will be easy to add more on the return of cooler weather
 And so with dyspepsia, the belt alone cover ing the liver and stomach has given great
 relief. So in all cases of general debility.
 Adopt this plan. If chronic disease can be
 cured with half the amount of appliances and at
 half the expense, we should be glad to know
 it, as certainly all chronic sufferers will
