AMERICAN ENTERPRISE.

No invention of the nineteenth GEN.
fury has worked a greater revolution
in household economy or conferred nIors
of benefit on humanity than the sew
ing machine.
The first productions were crude and
uncouth IN the extreme. and it was re-
served for American skill and ingenuity
to bring forth a machine of any practi-
cal value.
In order to appreciate the great add
vancement which has taken place it Is
only necessary to compare one Of the
machines built during the infancy of
The invention with one Of the latest i'm
proved "Light-R Running New Home"
All the really good points contained
in other machines have been utilized in
it's construction. Mmy new improve
ments and devices have also been added
tue result of which is machine as
nearly perfect as it is possible to maxi
one.
For simplicity, durability, case of
management aud capacity for work, the
"Light-Running New Hone has no RI
val, and the happy p9sscssor of one may
rest assured that he or she has the very
best the world aif.ras.

are steadily sinking into the grave. when by

commencing with the first dose, and vitality
and strength surely coming back to them.
Il am 63 years old; have been sick nearly
all my life, and ought to know something
about medicine by this time. l have USED
Parker's Tonic freely for more than u year
and consider it the best remedy l have ever
known. In fact, l now find no other medicine
necessary. For weakness, debility, rheuma-
