A GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE.


DR.. Maggielis the founder Of new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paraIyze 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.
DR.. Maggiers Pills and Salve have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nauseating avaian-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples threats. One of Maggiels Pills rectifes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver,
eleanses the head and restores the nerves in q
space of time short enough to be almost classed
as marvellous -.
In fact Maggiers Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr
hea Pills where all others fail. While for
Burns, Scalds Chilblans, Cuts, and all abrassions
of the skin, Maggiel's Salve is infallibe.

YOUNG LADY
Returning to her country home, after a sojourn
of few months in the city, was hardly recog-
nzed by her friends. In place Of coarse, rus
tic, flushed face, she had soft ruby complexion
of almost marble smoothness, and instead of
twenty three she really appeared but eighteen
Upon inquiry as TO the cause of so great a change,
she plainly told them that she used the CIR
CASSlAN BALM, and considered il an inval-
liable acquisition to any lady's toilet. By its use
any lady or gentleman can improve their personal
appearance an hundred fold. 1t Is simple in Its
combination, as nature herself is simple, yet un-
surpassed in its efficacy in drawing impurities
from, also healing, cleansing and identifying the
skin and complexion. By its direct action on
the cuticle il draws from it all its impurities,
kindly healing the same, and leaving the surface

ACARD FROM THE
American Watch COMPANY
OF
wALTHAM6, MASS.

This Company beg leave to inform the public
that they commenced operations in 1850, and their
factory now covers four acres of ground, and has
cost more than million dollars, and employs
over 700 operatives. They produce $4,000 Wat
ches year, and make and sell not less than one
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 are the
product of the cheapest labor of Switzerland, and
the result is the worthless Azores, Lepines and
so called Patent Levers-which soon cost more in
attempted repairs, than their original price. 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.
HOW AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE.
The american Waltham W atch is made by no
such uncertain process-and 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 on under
one roof, and under one skillful and competent
direction. But the great distinguishing feature
of their Watches, is the fact that their several
arts are all made by the finest, the most perfect
and delicate machinery ever brought TO the aid
of human industry. Every one of the more than
a hundred parts of every watch is made by ma
ehine-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 adj just 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
Better Article for the Money
by their improved mechanical processes than can
be made under the old-fashioned handicraft sys-
ten. They manufacture watches of every grade
from good, low priced, and substantial article
in solid silver hunting cases, to the finest chrome
meter; and also ladies' watches in plain gold or
the finest enameled and jeweed cases. but the in
dispensable requisite of all their watches is that
they shah be GOOD TIMEKEEPERS. It should
be remembered that, except their single lowest
grade named "Home Watch Company, Boston,,
ALL MATCHES made by them s- SO
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
by special certificate, and this warrantee is good
at all tunes against the company or its agents.

ACCIDENT AT THE BRIDGE.-It is said that
the wing wall at Renwick's mill has so
changed the current near the bridge that
pilots are in doubt how to steer, and hence
the numerous accidents this spring, the loss

Last evening Thursday about o'clock,

which has been lying at lie Claire all winter,
attempted to pass through the draw in the
bridge, towing barge, and struck the little
pier on the Illinois side near the bow, tear
ing away the lower and part of the upper
guards to her midships. She had been fred
up to run down to this point, it having
been the intention to tow her to St. Louis
from here, for repairs. She viii be taken
