1889 my case was frightful. Tumors and ulcers
spread until in 1912, under the advice of my ply

could. had to rest my arm cushion, and had
not been able to raise it to my head for year.
The discharge from two ulcers was nearly pint q
day. Amputation was recommended, but pro-
nounced dangerous. / could not sleep, and my
sufferings were intolerable. friend brought me
an English physician who applied salve with
which he said he had accomplished extraordinary
cures in the hospitals in England. 1t commenced
to relieve; persisted in its use; it finally effected
aperfect and entire cure. 1t is now 1S4s. It is

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 composed of from 125 to 800 pieces,
while in oldEnglish watch there are more than
200 parts. How they run under the hardest trial
watches can have, is shown by the following let
ter:

GENTLEMEN-The watches manufactured by
you have been in 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, I 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 a class they
never keep time as correctly, nor have they done
as good service as yours.
In these statements / am sustained by my pre-
deoessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
over a series of years Respectfully.
EDWARD III. WILLIAMS,
General Superintendent
American Watch Co., Waltham
We make now five different grades of watches,
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
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 purchasing the genuine ar

a GRAND EPOCH IN MHDxCI l..
DIR. Maggiel is the founder of new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeetle 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 salye.
DIR. Maggiels Pills and SalVe have ushered in
new medical era. No more nausesting avalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples throats. One of Maggiel's Pills rectifes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in a
space of time short enough to be almost classed
as marvellous.
In fact Maggieps Bilious, Dyspeptic and Diarr
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns, Scalds, Chilblains Cuts and all abrassions
of the skin, MaggiePs Salve is infallible.

AN EFFEcTUAL WORK MEDIcINE.-BROWN'S
VERMIFUGE C0MFITS, Or Worm Lozenges.
Much sickness, undoubtedly, with children and
adults, attributed to other causes is occasioned
by worms. The e"Vsrmifuge 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 sure in eradicating worms, so hurtful to
children. Hrs. e..
Children having Worms require immediate at
tenton, as neglect of the trouble often 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 sure remedy. The combination of ingredi-
ents used in making Browns ''Vermifuge Com
fits" is such to give the best possible effect with
safety,
