ofDistemper, Worms, Bots, Coughs, lIide-bound,
Colds &c -, in Horses; and Colds, Coughs, Loss

Cattle. These Powders were formerly put up by
Simpson I. Tobias, son of Dr. Tobias, and, since
his death, the demand has been so great for them,
that DR.. Tobias has continued to manufacture
them. They are perfectly safe and innocent; no
need of stopping the work of your animals. They
increase the appetite, give Ie coat, clesnse the
stomach and urinary organs; also increase the
milk of cows. Try them, and you will never be
without them. Hiram Woodruff, the celebrated
trainer Of trottng horses has used them for years,
and recommends them to his friends. Col Philo.
P. Bush, of the Jerome Race Course, Fordham,
N. Y, would not use them until he was told of
what they are composed, since which he is never

REASON WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
Made at WALTHAM, iMASSA CHUSET1

Made at WALTHAM, lMASSA CHUSETTS,
IS THE BEST.
1t is made on the best principle. It's frame 10
composed of SOLID PLATES. No jar can in
terfere with the harmony of its working and no
sudden shock can damage its machinery. Every
piece is made and finished by machinery Qtself
famous for its novelty, we'll for its effective
messy and is therefore properly made. The watch
is what all mechanism should INACCURATE,
SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECONOMICAL. Ex-
cept some high grades, too costly for general use,
foreign watches chiefly made by women and
boys. Such watches composed of several
hundred pieces, screwed and riveted together,
and require constant repairs to keep them in any
kind of order. All persons who have carried
'ancres" "lepines" and English Patent Le-
vers," are perfectly well aware of the truth OF
this statement.
At the beginning of our enterprise more than
ten years ago, it was our first object to make
thoroughly good low priced watch for the mill
ion, to take the place of these foreign imposi-
tions; the refuse of foreign factories, which
entirely unsaleable at home and perfectly worth
less elsewhere.
How well we have accomplished this, may be
understood from the fact that so many years of
public trial. we now make MORE THAN HALF
OF ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES, and that no others have ever
given such universal satisfaction. While this de-
partment of our business is continued with in
creased facilities for perfect work, at pre-
sent engaged in the manufacture of watches of
the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO
CHRONOMETRY, unequalled by anything hith-
erto made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by any
thing made in the world. For this purpose we
have the amplest facilities. We have erected an
addition to main building expressly for this
branch of our business, and have filled it with the
best workmen in our service. New machines
and appliances have been constructed which per-
form their work with consummatc deicacy and
exactness. The choicest and most approved ma
terials only are used, and chalange COMPARE
son between this grade of our work and the finest
imported chronometers. We do not pretend to
sell our watches for LESS MONEY than foreign
watches, but we do assert without fear of contra
diction that for the SAME MONEY our product is
incomparably superior All our watches of what
ever grade, are fully warranted and this warran-
tee is good at all times against our agents
in all parts of the world.

only of responsible dealers All persons selling
