T he lever principle in our mills is 
.the only practicable ami reliable mode yet applied 
lor giving adjustability to Sugar Cane Crushers, and 
the lover and weight is, and must always bo, tlio 
simplest and most unvarying power. Witli it the 
cane is pressed drier with less power and less lia¬ 
bility of breakage than by any other mo(b>. These 
Mills have been before the public for several years; 
they are extensively u^ed tliroughout the entire sor¬ 
ghum growing sections of the country, and wherever 
used have invariably given entire satisfaction. They 
have been much improved for tho present season, and 
now embrace points of oxcelloiice, aside from the 
leading feature of tho lever, which of themselves 
place them far ahead of any other Mill in use. We 
build Mills of different sizes, geared to run by steam, 
water or horse power; also premium Horse'Powers, 
very simple in their construction and of great 
strength; also an Evaporator of our own planning, 
equal if not superior to anything now in use ; and 
in fact, every article required by Sorghum Manufac¬ 
turers. 
Our Sorgho Hand Book, containing full descrip¬ 
tions and illustrations of our different sized Mills 
and Sorghum Machinery, and embracing a treatise 
on the growth and manufacture of Sorghum, sent 
free on application. 
Parties wanting our machinery should send-in 
their orders early, as towards tho close of tho season 
we receive more orders than we can possibly fill

New York:— 
Gents,— In April, 1864, suffering much 
from a I'uptnre of three years' duration, which ihade life .a 
burden to me, I was entered on yonr books as a patient, not 
over sanguine as to the results, owing to ilie repeated and 
costly former failures in this part of the world. Gratitude 
demands of me. a report of the snccess w^iich has followed 
the scientific appllc'ilion of yonr RADICAL CURE TRUSS 
in my qase. I followed yonr iiistrnctions for three months, 
and ventured to discontinue the use of the appliance with 
perfect impunity. Since that time I have enjoyed aTctnrn 
to perfect liealth and strength, andean follow my calling 
with pleasure and satisfaction. I don’t part company with 
the Truss, for fear of another mishap, seeing the Australian 
colonics have no iiiechanical appliances to compare with it. 
It is tlie perfect cure. Trusting von will excvise my tardy 
but heartfelt acknowledgment, I am, gents, yours, most 
gratefullv, W. A. BEDELL, age"33. Miner.
