tary Officers and Soldiers who "overtax the voice, and 
are exposed to sudden changes should use them. Obtain 
only the genuine. "Brown's Bronchial Troches" having 
proved their efficacy by a test of many years, are highly re- 
commended and prescribed by Physicians and Surgeons in 
Ihc Army, and have received testimonials from many emi- 
nent men.

DOTY'S NEW-YORK 
CLOTHES WASHER, 
Patented July 21st, 1863, byWM. M. DOTY, New- York City, 
Has Proved itself to be the 
Best "Washing: 31achine 
For General Family Use. 
It combines the three great essentials, viz: 
Rapidity of Washing, Ease of 
Operation, and Cheapness, 
To a greater degree than any other Washing Machine ever 
invented. 
It "Washes either a large or small bulk at a time without 
danger of injury. It is Covered while in operation, to keep 
the suds from cooling. 
It is easily worked while Sitting Down. 
It is so East of Operation, that mere children can easily 
do out large washings with it, the clothes requiring neither 
Rubbing nob Boiling. It Rinses, as well as washes. 
It is so Simple that the most ignorant readily understand 
it; and it Requires no Regulating of any kind. It is 
ready any moment to go to work, or to stop, and takes but 
little room. 
It has but little Machinery; none in the Water, lia- 
ble to rust or swell ; and none at all but what is Durable. 
It Costs so Little that none need do without its great 
aid, and proves a Good Investment as a Clothes Sayer 
Alone. 
It has the Highest Testimonials : Read the follow- 
ing specimen:
