AN EFFEcrUAL WoRh MEpIcIsE.-BRoWN,S
VERAIFUGE CoMFITS, Or Worm Losenges.
Much sickness, undoubtedly, with children and
adults, attributed to other causes, is occasioned
by worms. The "Vermifuge Comfts," al
though effectual 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 sure in eradicating worms, so hurtful to
children. .sE
Children having Worms require immediate at
tenton, 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 snrs remedy. The combination of ingredi-
ents used in making Browns "Vermifuge Com
fits" is such to give the best possible effect with
safety, -rs.EE

DR.. BRANDRETH-For some years I have been

My physicians were of the highest reputation.
By their advice took eolchcum, citric acid, and

or shortened the attacks, which lasted for weeks
at a time. In my last attack / concluded to try
your famous pills. T was lying upon my bed al
the time, suffering the severest pains in my feet
and ankles, which no pen can describe.
The first dose of six Pills was effective that
in few hours the pain and swelling sensibly aba
ted and in As hours were all gone, and 1 was
cured and have had no return.

ACARD FROM THE
American Watch COmpan,
WALTHAN6, MASS.

This Company beg leave to inform the public
that they commenced operations in 1850, and their
factory now covers four of ground, and has
cost more than million dollars, and employs
700 operatives. They produce $4,000 Wat
ches year, and make and sell not less than
half of all the watches sold in the United States.
The difference between their manufacture and
the European, is briefly this European watches
are made almost entirely by hand, and the result
is of necessity lack of that uniformity which is
indispensable TO correct time-keeping. Both the
eve and the hand of the most skillful operative
must vary. But it is a fact that, except watches
of the higher grades, European watches the
product of the cheapest labor of Switzerland, and
the result is the worthless Apcres, Lepines and
so-ealled Patent Levers-which soon cost morein
attempted repairs, than their originalprice. Com
mon workmen, boys and women, buy the rough
separate parts of these watches from various fac
tories polish and put them together and take
them to the nearest watch merchant, who stamps
and engraves them with any name or brand that
may be ordered. E a.
HOW AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE.
The American Waltham W atch is made by no
such uncertain process-andb by no such incom-
petent workmen. All the company's operations
from the reception of the raw materials TO the
. completion of the Watch, are carried under
one roof, and under ene skillful and competent
direction But the great distinguishing feature
of their Watches, is the fact that their several
are Iuttae ny stlit HIest, lnVst PciieSt
and delicate machinery exer brought to the aid
of human industry. Every one of the more than
a hundred parts of every watch is made by ma
chine-that infallibly reproduces every succeeding
part with the most unvarying accuracy. 1t was
only necessary to make one perfect watch OF one
particular style and then to adjust the hundred
machines necessary to reproduce every part of
that watch and it follows that every succeeding
part must be like it.
The company respectfully submit their watches
on their merits only. They claim to make
A Better Article for the Money
by their improved mechanical processes than can
be made nnder the old fashioned handicraft sys-
ten. They manufacture watches of every grade,
from good, low priced, and substantial article,
in solid silver hunting cases, 70 the finest chroao
