The advertieer submits that each kind of machine is good in its proper place,-— the " Hand " for those young Sadies who may have occasion frequently to chaoge their place of abode, or ior those who are unable to give the eranll amount of time and trouble necessary to learn thoroughly the art (once acquired, of life long value), of using a *' Treadle" Machine, and also for the very few who are physically unable to ÜBe the foot motion. But when the larly of (he houHe desires to do a large quantity of sewing iti the best manner, and in the least possible lime, A good Treadle Machine is unequalled. ,That the use of the feet in sewing ia 'injurious to health is a matter upon which tbe " Doctors differ," and any lady anxious upon that point would do ■well to consult her own medical advieer, who, in giving his opinion, would peril apa make some slight distinction between the probable effects of usin<; a Machine which requires much power to drive it, and one which runs lightly, as does the " Whbelbr and Wilson.
