THE FOOT* TBE 'HUrf. OINCE the introduction of Hand . Seating Machines; attempts have constantly been made to prove that they are fit to supersede tha original Treadle Machines, but intending purchasers are requested to .examine the matter and decide for themselves whether their claims are well founded, and whether also the objections raised (frequently by interested parties) to the use of the Treadle oan be sustained by facts. . The advertiser submits that each kind olf maohine is good ih its proper place,— the " Hand" for those young ladies who may have occasion frequently to change their place bf abode, or for those who are. unable tp give the small amount of time, and trouble neoeasary to learn thoroughly .the art ..(onoe acquired, of life long value), of using a " Treadle " Machine, and alaalor lhe very few who are physically unable to ase tbe foot motion. But when the lady of the honle #«[- --.ires to do. a latge quantity ot sewing .n~ 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 c 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 distinotton between the- probable effects of using a : Machine wbich requires much power to drive it, and one which; puns lightly, as does the " Wheeler and Wilson.
