FSaves half the labor, can not turn the wrong way, conse¬ 
quently does not tangle the thread, break the needles, and 
damage the machine. A child can run any machine with 
Cowles’s Treadle. It saves half tile labor, and avoids the 
heel-and-toe motion which destroys the nervous system and 
is so injurious that physicians forbid its use to many. Makes 
the hardest machine run so easy that one is astonished. 
Gives complete control at fast or slow speed with the feet 
alone, so that both hands are free to hold the work, ami no 
starting the wheel with hands. In 12 weeks this Treadle has 
gained a notoriety unparalleled, and the sales are immense. 
We have thousands of certificates, both from physicians and 
operators, testifying in the strongest terms. Send for circu¬ 
lars. Territory for sale.
