THE HSNS; QINCE the introduction of Hand *t Sewing Machines, attempts .have constantly been made to provd that they are , fit; to ] supersede;' the original , Treadle Machines, but intending purchasers are requested to examine, the matter and decide for themselves whether their claims ara wjell founded, and whether also the objections raised (frequentty-by interested parties) to the use of the. Treadle can be auatainod by facts. The advertiser submits that each kind of machine is good in its proper" place, —the " Hand " for those young ladies who may have occasion frequently to change their pUce of abode, or for those who are unable, to give the- small amount of time and trouble necessary to learn thoroughly the art (once acquired, of life long value), of using a [ "Treadle " Machitie, and also for the very few who are physically unable to ÜB9 the foot motion. , j But "when the lady of the house desires to do a large quantity of sewing. : q the best manner, and in the least , possible time, A good Treadle Machine is unequalled/ , That the use of the feet in sewing is injurious to health is a matter upon which the " Doctors differ," and- any lady anxious upon that point would do well to consult her own medical adviser, who, in giving bis opinion, would per-; haps make some slight distinction ' between the probable effects of using a Machine which requires much power to drive it, and one which runs lightly, as does the " Wheeler and Wilson.
