Much sickness, undoubtedly, with children and
ADULTS attributed to other causes, is occasioned
by worms. The "Vsrmifhge CoInfts,' al
though =eGectual 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 eradicating worms, so hurtful to
children. "a 81
Children having Worms require immediate at

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 lnArket.s 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 an oldEngiishTw.tch 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 SUPERINTENDENT,
s54~"G Altoona, Pa, Is Dec, 1866 !
GENTLEAEN-The watches manufactured by
you have been in use on this railroad for several
years by our enginemen, to whom we furnish
watches 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 us 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 class they
never keep time as correctly, nor have they done
as good service as yours. .-.-'- Z .
In these statements am sustained by my pre-
decessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
over a series of years. Respectfully,
g EDWARD II. WILLIAMS,
..4 %, General Superintendent.
American Watch Co., Waltham.
We make now five different grades of watches,
named respectively as follows:
Appleton, Tracy 4 Co., Waitham, Mass.
Waltham Watch Company, Waltham, Mass.
P 8. Bartlett, fF# Waltham, 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 a reliable tme-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 that they are purchasing the genuine ar
ticla. There are numerous counterfeits and imi-
tations of our watches sold throughout the coun-
try and we would caution purchasers to be on
their guard against imposition.
Any grades of Waltham Watches may be pur-
chased of watch dealers throughout the country.

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 I'M
