were first used in private practice in 1925. The
were introduced to the public in 1888, since which
time their reputation has extended, until they have
a sale in excess of all other Cathartic and Purify
ing Medicines. There is hardly family among
civilized nations who have not personal evidence of
their beneficial effects Their great success is ow-
ing 20 their uniform reliability in cases of Consti
patton, Bilious and StOmachc diseases, whether of
long or short duration. They entirely vegeta-
BILE in their composition and harmless to the gent.
lest infant. One ingredient opens the pores of the
skin; another is diuretic, and stimulates proper
action of the kidneys; third is emolient, loosen
ing phlegm and humor from the lungs; other prop.
critics warming and catharte, and cleanse the
stomach and bowels from unhealthy secretions-
Their combined effect is to regulate the impaired
functions of the system, and to produce health. 1t
is not asserted Moffat's Pills are c,re-dll-that
they will cure all complaints-but under ordinary
circumstances they may be relied upon to cure
Nervous and sick Headache, Costiveness, Dyspep-
sia, Indigestion, Jaundce, Liver and Bilious COM
plants, Colds. Scurvy, General Weakness, &c.
They are expressly made for these diseases. Mil
lions upon millions of cures can be cited. In no
single instance has complaint ever come to our
knowledge, where they have not operated as
commended.
The printed circular around each box fully ex-
plains the symptoms and effects of each disease,
specifies treatment, furnishes evidence, &c.

a GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE.

DIR. Maggiel is the founder Of medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses eufeeble the stomach and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulcerat-
ell and eTuptive surfaces Of the skin deuged
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 matchess salve.
DR.. Maggiels Pills and Salve have ushered in
a medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples throats. One of Maggiels Pills rectifes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver,
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in
space of time short enough to be almost classed
as marvellous.
In fact Maggiels Bilious, Dyspeptc and Diarr
hea Pills where all others fail. While for
Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Cuts and ali abrassions
of the skin, Maggiels Salve is infalhble.

Which have almost entirely superseded
the old nauseous Vermfuges to the de-
light of the poor little sufferers. 1t con-
tains no calomel or other poisonous in
gradients.
So highly esteemed is this popular
Vermifuge by the profession, that all
intelligent physicians who know of
them, prescribe them in preference to
other remedies, as not only more pleas
ant to take, but more effective to cure.
Parents and guardians, having the
care of children, should keep them
family medicine; for they not only Grad
icate Worms-those pests of childhood
but correct any derangepent of the
digestive organs, so prevalent with chill
dren.

GENTLRMES-The watches manufactured by
you have been in on this railroad for several
years by enginemen, to whom we 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 less trouble, and
have worn and do wear much longer without re-
pairs than any watches we have ever had in use
on this road. AS you aware, we formerly
trusted to those of English manufacture, of ac-
knowledged good reputation; but as class they
never keep time as correctly, nor have they done
good service yours.
In these statements I am sustained by my pre-
decessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
over a series of years. Respectfully,

named respectively as follows:

All of these, with the exception of the Home

Watch Company to be of the best material on
the most approved principle, and to possess every
requisite for reliable time keeper Every dealer
selinS lhese Watcnes is provided with the Com

accompany each watch sold, so that buyers may
feel sure that they are purchasing the genuine ar

try, and we would caution purchasers TO be on
their guard against impositisn.
ANY grades of Waltham Watches may be pur
chased of watch dealers throughout the country.
