AMERICAN
WALTHAM WATCHES.

We claim and are prepared to prove that the
American Watches manufactured at Waltham
Massachusetts are not only equal but far supo-
rior, to the watches Of England Switzerland and
France We also, claim that they are CHEAPER,
MORE ACCURATE, MORE DURABLE, and
more easily kept in order and repaired than any
other watches in the market
Because in each one Of the very numerous parts
of which watch is made up, we attain, by me-
chanical power, nearly d5soiutsmathematical pre-
cIsion and uniformity, making every watch of any
one style true copy Of its model.
This similarity in structure reduces the cost OF
production; it secures uniformity in results; it
perpetuatos and i,,raRi6iv diruses any excellence
that may be once achieved and makes II easy to
repair any injury sustained, or replace any part
that may be lost or destroyed.
In addition to these mechanical advantages, our
Watches are simpler in structure and therefore
stronger and less likely to be injured than foreign
watches
How they run under the hardest trial watches
can have, is shown by the following letters
! PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COMPANY
| OFFICE OF THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT,
ALTOONA, PA, 18th December, 1865. J
Gentlemen! The witches manufactured by you
have been in on this railroad for several years
| by our cngnemcn, 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 yOul
| watches give us less trouble, and have worn ant
do wear much longer without repairs than any
| watches we have ever had in use ON this road. Al
! you are aware, we formerly trusted to those o
/ English manufacture, OF acknowledged good rep
utatiOn but ms n cluss they never kepttime as cor
rcctly, nor have they done good service, AZ

In these statements am sustained by my pre-
decessor, Mr.. Lewis whose experience extended

Healing the Sick without Medicine
DIR. A. j. HIGGINS,
OF CHICAGO,
ODYLLIC PHYSICIAN,
For Chronic Diseases,

NAyILL BE AT THE PHILLIPS HOUSE,
w Dayton, Ohio, May LIST, and remain three
Dr. HGGINs gives no medicine but cures by
new and scientific method which Is far superior
TO any other vet discovered SO powerful ana 80
natural is this system that by il many have been
restored to health in an Incredibly short space OF
time, who have for many years suhereu from avs,
eases which have been pronounced incurable, ana
to whom medicine has bCen administered with no
good ofrect Many who have for years suffered un-
told miseries in the back and head, have been en-
tirey cured In one week. DR.. Higgins practice is
very eGcetice In all spinal diseasesi also cures
Cancers OF all kinds In from ten TO hlteen ual s.
and that too without leaving the patient poisoned
but his blood will he cleansed so that II viii never
again return. BY tnis practice nature Is assisted
In restoring the equilibrium of the vital forces,
and when the patient is cured he will also have
learned how 70 keep well.
The Dr. here announces that his practice Is so
essentially different irOm other persons profess
ing to heal the sick without medicine, that to
Judge him by them would be doing him great IN
There is nothing miraculous or supernatural
about this practice. BY some II is called gilt
but It is based upon strict principles OF natural
siuians OF other practices who have received treat
ment for themselves and families, and also rec
ommend 1t to their patients.
IL takes but few Treatments to cure most oil the
following diseases;
Weak eyes, weak spines, scald head, nervous
head ache, sick head ache, neuralgia, deafness,
inflammation OF the eyes of long standing, nasal
catarrh of the front and back passages, sore
throat, bron, ,hits, stomach cough liver cough en-

tumOrs in the uterus, paralysis, gout, rheumatism
diseases Of the kidneys, lame backs etc. etc

PARALYSIS, which has been considered by
other ply scians ms incurlble, can be cured where

INC Missouri Flood-Great Losses.

CHICAGO, April 25.--The Missouri, at
Council Bluffs has at last come to a stand,
but it is higher, by two feet, than at any
flood since 1874. Cultivated and fertile
lands for breadth of two miles, on either
side, have been entirely covered with rush
ing water, and houses, barns, hay, grain,
cattle and human beings have been carried
down by the great flood. All of our rail-
roads have been greatly damaged, and the
track in some cases destroyed for miles.
The track of the Council Bluffs and st. Jo-
seph Railroad is under water for several
miles, and will not be In order until the
tide runs out. The Chicago and North
western track is submerged for distance
of twelve miles.
