ASTONISHING CURE OF SORE LEGS
AFTER NINE YEARS STANDING. '
Copy of a Letter from Mr. J. W. Langley, of
HunlsciUe, Yadkin County, North Carolina,
U. S. dated November Ut. 1853.
READ HIS OWN WORDS.
To PmorsssoK Houowat,
Sir : It is not my wish to become notorious,
nether is this letter written for the mere sake of
writing, but to say, that your Ointment cured me
of one of the most dreadful cutaneous diseases
that flesh is heir to, and which was considered by
all who knew me, to be entirely beyond the reach
of medicine. For nine years I was inflicted with
one of the most painful and troublesome sore legs
that ever fell to the lot of man ; and after trying
every medicine I had ever heard of, I resigned iu
despair all hope of being cured ; but a friend
brought me a couple of large pots of your Oint
ment, which caused the sores on my legs to heal,
and I entirely regained my health to my agreeable
surprise and delight, and to the astonishment of
my friends. (Signed) W. J. LANGLEY.

Dear Sir, It is with heartfelt gratitude I hare
to inform you that by the use of your Ointment
and Pills, the life of my wife has bet-n saved. For
seven years she had a had breast, with ten run
ning wounds, (not of a cancerous nature.) I was
told that nothing could save her: she was then in
duced to use your Ointoent and Pills, wheu in
the short spsce of three months, they effected a
perfect cure, to the astonishment of all who knew
us. We obtained your Medicines from Messrs.
Wright A Co., of Chartres-street, New Orleans.
1 send this from "Hotel des Princes," Paris, al
though I had written it at New Orleans, before
we finally left, at that time, not knowing your ad
dress at New York.

OLD BOURBON AGAIN.
THE citizens of the "Old North Sute," who
have on various occasions extended to me
their aid and custom, in the purchase and sale of
Stock, have my hearty thanks for their many acts
of kindness ; and in justice to the citizens of the
State generally, so far as I have had the pleasure
of forming an acquaintance with them, I must say
that I have traded North. South, East and West,
through a great many States of the Union, and 1
have yet to find a more generous, hospitable and
kind hearted people, and one more ready to bestow
acts of kindness upon the stranger, than is to be
lonnd in the "Old North State." I trust I shall
ever feel grateful to you for the past favors and
be enabled so act in all my dealings as to deserve
its continuance in the future.
Having engaged to deliver a number of
MULES
to my old friends and customers, at various points,
during the month of October next, I take this
method of informing them that I hare made a
purchase for them, and also a large number beside,
with which I hope to be enabled to accommodate
all who may want to buy a Bourbon Mule. It is
known that Old Bourbon is the great Mule Coun
ty of Kentucky and of the world, and that the sub
scriber handles none but the best Bourbon Stock.
I will bo in Raleigh on the 17th of October, and
will stop at the various towns between there and

utility which can be used without making
the owner liable to a suit for infringement of pat
ented pirvileges, are still sold at,
REASONABLE PRICES,
AKD WITH
UNQUESTIONED RIGHT.
Having termined our legal controversy with
Eli as Howe, Jr., and procured his full license to
use his invention, there is not the slighest claim
that our machines infringe any other patent.
The right to use the machines which we have
sold, and shall hereafter sell, is unquestionable.
We own ten distinct patents of Sewing Machines,
covering all the nice points of the iuventiou, and
all the machines of other manufacturers infringe
one or more of them. Our patent securing the
spring whereby the cloth, &c, is held U the feed
ing apparatus by a yielding presure, is infringed
by all the machines now offered in the mnrket
Those who buy the inferior and praetic.-il machines,
are hereby distinctly apprised that we shall com
pel them to pay us for the privilege of using them.
Vjur legal rights will hencetorth be rigidly enfor
ced. THE IMMENSE SUPERIORITY
of Singer's Sewing Machines has been completely
established They are of universal application
the same machine doing all kinds of work, and
doing it perfectly. They are not only superior in
contrivance, but unequaled in mechanical finish.
They perform all work required and continue to
do it without getting out of order. We desire to
call attention particularly to our uew.
MACHINES TO SEW WITH A SINGLE THREAD
which by ample trials have been proved superior
to all others for stitching linen and all very thin
fabrics also for sewing leather either with a
waxed thread or silk and for quilting linings.
We are also prepared to exhibit and sell embroid
ering machines, producing an entirely new and
very beautiful result. Machines of extra size,
both shuttle and single thread, may be had for a
small difference in price. These are found to be
very popular. Machines for hat-binding, stitch

work, will be supplied at short notice.

within one hundred and fifty yards of the Central
Rail Road ; combining every thing to reader it a

tains 131 acres of good, arable land, about 100 of
which is in the original lorest toe residue nas
been cleared within the last three years, liberally

There is a spacious Store House, and a Black

ried on a very extensive business for the last twelve
months with great success, auu can, tnereiore,
pronounce it one of the best stands for a country
store within my knowledge. The range for Cat-
t1. Hob-s and Sheen is very fine, and there i an
iihiiniliinee of fire wood and rail timber, and clay
for brick making, upon the land. There is a most

STATE AGRICULTURAL FAIR.
AT RALEIGH. OCTOBER, 1854.
TO my friends and patrons, who intend visiting
Raleigh in October, to attend the Fair, and
to buy their supply of Winter Garments:
The Clothing Trade at the present time is at
tracting considerable attention in the Mercantile
World, and every year more capital is being em
ployed ; and when we consider the amount of Clo
thing manufactured, we cannot but be surprised to
know that so few manufacturers pay particular
attention to getting up their Stock in good taste,
and having their goods well made.
We believe from our experience in business that
too much care and attention cannot be given to the
manufacturing of Clothing ; consequently we pay
the best prices for all kinds of work done ; and af
ter having under daily training for years certain
hands, it is but reasonable to suppose that we can
offer for sale the best made Clothing in the State.
We shall have, therefore, on exhibition, during
Fair week, at ou r Store, the most beautiful Stock
of Ready-made Clothing in the State Scott &
Baldwin, of Wilmington, not excepted !
