: GRAND epoch IL MEDICINE.

DIR. Maggielis is the founder Of new medical
system. The quantitarisns whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulcerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces of the skin deluged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one to three
harmless pills. and cures the most virulent and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three bexes
of his matchless salse.
DR.. Maggiel's Pills and Salve have ushered in
q medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ehes of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples throats. One of Maggiefs Pills rectifes
the dsordered condition of the stomach and liver,
clesnses the head and restores the nerves in a
space of time short enough to be almost classed
as marvellous.
In fact Maggiers Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns, Scalds, Chibains, Cuts, and all abrassions
of the skin, Maggiel's Salve is infaIlible.

Proofs Of the Superior Quality
of the
American Watch
made at
wALTHAN6, MASS,

The American Watch Company, of waltham
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches are
cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more dura-
BILE, and better adapted for general use and more
easily kept in order and repaired than any other
watches in the market. They are simpler in
structure, and therefore stronger, and less likely
to be injured than the majority of foreign watch
es, which are composed of from 125 to 800 pieces,
while in an oldEngish watch there are more than
700 parts. How they run under the hardest trial
watches can have, is shown by the following let
ter
PENN. RAILROAD COMPANY.
OFFICE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT,
Altoona, Pa, Is Dec, 1855.
GENTLEMEN-The watches manufactured by
you have been in on this railroad for several
years by our enginemen, to whom furnish
watches as part of our equipment. There are
now some three hundred of them carried on our
line, and we consider them good and reliable
time keepers. Indeed, have great satisfaction
in saying your watches give us less trouble, and
have worn and do wear much longer without re-
pairs than any watches We have ever had in
on this road. AS you are aware, formerly
trusted to those of English manufacture, of ac-
knowledged good reputation; hut as a class they
never keep time as correctly, nor have they done
as good service as yours.
In these statements 1 am sustained by my pre-
decessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
over series of years. Respectfully,
EDWARD II. WILLIAMS,
General Superintendent.
American Watch Co., Waltham.
We make now five different grades of watches
named respectively as follows:
Appleton, Tracy Co., Waitham, Mass.
Waltham Watch Company, Waltham, Mass.
T. 5. Bartlett Waltham, Mass.
VIM. Ellery, Boston, Mass
Home watch Company, Boston, Mass.
All of these, with the exception of the Home
Watch Company, are warranted by the American
Watch Company to be of the best material, on
the most approved principle, and to possess every
requisite for a reliable time keeper Every dealer
selling these watches is provided with the Com
pany's printed card of guarantee, which should
accompany each watch sold, so that buyers may
feel sure that they are purchasing the genuine ar
tice. There are numerous counterfeits and imi-
tations OF our watches sold throughout the coun-
try, and we would caution purchasers to be on
their guard against imposition.
Any grades of Waltham Watches may be pur-
chased Of watch dealers throughout the country.

An EFFECTUAL WORN MEDIcINE.-BROWN'S
VERAIFUGE CoMFITS, Or Worm Lozenges.
Much sickness, undoubtedly, with children and
adults, attributed to other causes, is occasioned
by worms. The 'Vermifuge Comfts," al
though efectual in destroying worms, can DO
no possible injury to the most delicate child.
This valuable combination has been success
fully used by physicians, and found to be safe
and in eradieating worms, so hurtful to
children.
Children having Worms require immediate at
tention, neglect of the trouble often causes pro-
longed sickness.
Symptoms of Worms in children are often over
looked. Worms in the stomach and bowels cause
irritation, which can be removed only by the use
of surs remedy. The combination of ingredi-
ents used in making Browns "Vermifuge Com
fits is such to give the best possible effect with
safety,
