TuE Greatest Puzzle Out. — Some people are puzzled at 

 one thing and some at anodicr. But the greatest puzzle of all, to 

 our good housewives, is to comprehend how it is that James 

 Pi'LE's Dietetic Salekatus is sure to make good bread, biscuit 

 and cake every time it is used, and that it is perfectly free from 

 all the noxious compounds with which all other kinds of saleratus 

 are adulterated. Look out for imitations. See that the name of 

 James Pyle is on the package. Depot, 345 Washington Street, 

 New York.

A CARD FROM THE GROVER & BAKER S. M. CO. 



Tlie public, in their eagerness to supply themselves ivith Sew- 

 ing Machines making the Grovek &, Bakku stitch, must not for- 

 get to purchase them of parties who are alone authorized to soil 

 ihem. All purchasers and users of fraudulent machines of this 

 class will be visited with certain prosecution. Those who have 

 already been induced to buy these fraudulent machines can pur- 

 chase a license fur their use before prosecution on proper appli- 

 cation. All machines sewing from two spools, and in which one 

 iie>.-dle only penetrates the cloth, and having a feed which allows 

 the material to be turned at will, are infrinitemeuts,

All persons are cautioned not to make, deal in, or use any 

 Sewing Machines which sew from two sijools and make the stitch 

 known as the Gkovkr & Baker stitch, unless the same are pur- 

 chased from the Gbover ifc Baker Sewing Machine Company, 

 or their Agents, or Licensees, and stamped under my patent of 

 SEptember 10, 1846. 



Said Company, and their Licensees, alone, are legally author- 

 ed ui.der their own patents, and my said patent, during the ex- 

 tended term thereof, t» make and sell this kind of Sewing Ma- 

 chine, and all others are piracies u]>on my said patent, and will 

 be dealt with accordingly, wherever found.
