that it is growing more and more so is
certain. There is 10 end to the methods
invented to meet this universal mania,
and any effort TO enumerate them, even

As the seeds Of fatal disease are carried
TO every part of the human system
through innumerable blood-vessels, so this
gambling epidemic is borne in countless
channels through our whole social fabric.
until every part thereof is infected. The
disease is insidious. dangerous. and loath-
some; at best, unless speedily checked, it
must terminate in chronic debility or re-
puIsive deformity. Some powerful and
radical measures must be brought 20 bear
upon it, and the bitterest draughts, if need
be, must be piled unsparingly. Ii the So
ciety for the Suppression of Gambling,
makes never so small beginning in this
direction, it will merit the appreciation
and deserve the cordial support of every
man, woman. aud child in the land. for
that il is high time something should be
done in earnest, must be patent to the
most careless and infatuated.

A CARD FROM THE
American Watch Comfy
WALTHAM, MASS.

This Company beg leave 20 inform the pub
lie that that they commenced operations in
1850, and their factory now covers four acres
of ground, and has cost more than a million
dollars. and employs over 700 operatives
They produce $4,000 Watches a year and
make and sell not less than OF e-half Of all
the watches sold in the United States.
The difference between their manufacture
and the European, is briefly this 4: 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 eye and The hand of
the most skillful operative must vary. But it
ID fact that. except watches of the higher
grades, European watches are the product OF
the cheapest labor Of Switzerland. and the re-
suit is the worthless Ancres, Lepines anU so
called Patent Levers-which soon cost more
in attempted r, pairs, than their original price.
Common workmen, boys and women. buy
the rough separate parts of these watches
from various factories. polish and put them
together, and take tkem to the nearest watch
merchant, who stamps and engraves them
with any name or brand that may he ordered.
How American Watches are Made.
The American Waltham Watch is made by
no such uncertain prOcess-and by no such
incompetent workmen. All the Company's
operations, from the reception of the raw ma
terials to the completion of the Watch, are
carried on under one roof and under one
skillful and competent direction. Bat the
great Distinguishing feature of their Watches.
is the fact that their several parts are all made
by the finest, the most perfect and delicate
machinery ever brought to the aid Of human
industry. Every one one of the more than
hundred parts of every watch is made by
machine--that infallibly reproduces every
succeeding part with the most unvaryihg sc4
curacy 1t was only necessary to make one
perfect watch of any particular style and then
to adjust the bundled machines necessary 20
reproduce every part of that watch. and it
follows that every succeeding watch must be
like it.
The Company respectfully submit their
watches on their merits only. They claim
TO make
A Better Article for the Money
