ELlxER OF cALIsAYA BARK.

THIS preparation is particularly recommended to
Il persons of weak habit, and to such as reside in
low situations, where the nervous system is, in gen.
era, less relaxed. The addition of certain in
gradients has so completely disguised the taste OF
the bark, as to render this efcacious remedy mos,
Paatable cordial; thus peculiarly adapting il to con-
quer that repugnance which most persons expert
ence after taking for some time bitter potons, as il
combines the greatest efficacy with highly agree
able flavor. As preventive Of the aguc it has
superseded the use Of all other remedies, in such
parts of the country it is known. Prepared only
by ]. Milhau, No. 1873 Broadway, New York.
Price 81 per quart bottle.

F.aI,Or TO Make a watch.

MIR. Dent, in lecture delivered before
the London Royal institute, made an al
fusion to the formation of a watch, and
stated that watch consists of 992 pie
ces; and that forty-three trades, and pro-
badly 2l5 persons are employed in ma
king one of those little machines. The
iron, Of which the balance spring is for
med, is valued at something less than a
farthing; this produces an ounce of steel
worth 4d. which is drawn into 225O wards
of steel wire, and represents in the mar
ket 913 As; but still another process of
hardening this originally farthing's worth
of iron, renders it workable into 1850 ba-
lance springs,which viii rcalize,atthe COM
mon price of 2s. Cd. each, 9946, 6s. the
effect of labor alone. Thus il may be
seen that the mere labor bestowed upon
one farihiBg's worth of iron gives it the
value OF 29O0, 5s, or 1852, which is
1890 Zines its original value.
