DIR. Maggiel is the founder of new medical
system. The quantitarians 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 are 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 salve.
DIR. Maggieis Pills and Salve have ushered in
new medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples throats. One of MaggePs Pills rectifes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver,
clesnses the head and restores the nerves in q
space of time short enough to be almost classed
rs marvellous.
In fact Maggieps Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns, Scalds, Chiblains, Cuts, and all abrassons
of the skin, Maggiel's Salve is infalible.

Proofs Of the Superior Quality
American Watch
made at
wALYHA16. 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, ind more
easily kept in order and repaired than any other
watches in the market. They ire simpler in
structure, and therefore stronger, and less likely
to be injured than the majority of foreign watch
es, which are composed of from 25 to 800 pieces,
while in an oldEnghsh 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 SUPERINrKsDENr,
Altoona, Pa, Is Dec, 1866.
GENrLEMES-The watches manufactured by
you have been in use on this railroad for several
years by our 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
this road. As you aware, we formerly
trusted to those of English manufacture, of ac-
knowledged good reputation; but as 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-
decessor. Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
over a 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., Naitham, Mass.
wsltham Watch Company, Waltham, Mass.
P. s. Bartlett, WaItham, 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 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
ticle, There are numerous counterfeits and imi-
tatiops of our watches sold throughout the eoun-
try. and we would caution purchasers to 10 on
their guard against imposition n.af.
ANY grades of Waltham Watches may be pur-
chased of watch dealers throughout the country.

AN EFFECTUAL WORN MEDIcINE.-BR0WN'6
VERMIFUGE C0MFITS, Or Worm Losenges.
Much sickness, undoubtedly, with children and
adults, attributed to other causes, is oceasioned
by worms. The "Vermifuge Comfts," al
though efectual in destroying worms, can do
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 eradieating worms, so hurtful to
children. IS
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 a remedy. The combination of ingredi-
ents used in making Browns "Vermifuge Com
fits" is such as to give the best possible effect with
safety,

remedies prescribed by the best medical
talent of the country. Its effect is aston

other remedy,

cases of Infsmed Eyelids, and Disehar-
ges from the Ear, when nothing else
would heal them. Piles, that have re-
sisted all other treatRent for many
years, have been effectually cured by the
use of only one box of this Ointment.

HOLLOWAY'S
VERMIFUGE
CONFECTIONS.

.sss DIR. Holloway, some fifteen years ago,
witnessing the distress oceasioned sickly
children in taking the nauseous vermi-
fuges of that day, resolved to annaiyze
them, and from the most effective OF
these remedies succeeded in separating
their active medical properties, pure,
tasteless and inodorous. Then, by
combining these with sugar, and mold
ing them into agreeable confection,
formed the present POPULAR and EFFEc-
TIVE EERNlFuGE known as
HOli0way's Vermifuge Connections
Which have almost entirely superseded
the old nauseous VerInifuges, to the de-
light of the poor little sufferers. 1t con.
tains no calomel or other poisonous in
. grodients.
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 as
family medicine; for they not only Grad
icate Worms-those pests of childhood
but correct any derangement of the

R6- It is fact somewhat singular and
remarkable, that, from the weight of
some respected authority, or because oil
some existing prejudice, or because
Ginning in with some real or faneIed
interest Of community, dogmatic utter
auces Of men, plausible in appearance,
but really unfounded in reason, fail to
challenge investigation, and pass into
generally conceded and recognized
axiems. 1t may be doubted whether the
commonly received opinion that the
Ethiopian is a descendant of Ham, and
was turned from the original white TO
black man, as the result Of the curse Of
Noah, is a case of this description.
Heretofore that there has been an inter
est in a slaveholding community to sus-
tain the Bible as sustaining the Southern
institution, and that such a conclusion
has been supposed to be drawn from the
scriptures, it has gone unchallenged SO
long in the South as to have been received
as an absolute verify by common consent
But now that the interest TO support it
has passed away, the dogma, whether
true or false, begins to be submitted to
the test Of proofs and reason.
From similar causes it is probable the
majority Of the opinions Of mankind are
derived, and assertions are received as
axionsiic and indispuiable truths, more
because men are inclined or have an
interest to believe them, than from tho
fact that they have undergone the ordeal
of reason. and become convictions as 9
