WATCHES

The extensive use of these watches for the laat
fifteen yecrs by Railway Conductors, Engineers
aud Expressmen, Che most exacting of watch
vearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the
strength, steadiness, durability anG accuracy OF
the walthsm Watch. To satisfy that class IN all
these respects, ia to decide the question as to the
real value Of these time-keepers.
More than 5oo,oaG of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets Of the
people, proof and guarantee of their superb
o. hy over all others.
The superior organization and great extent Of
the Company's Works at Waltham, enables item
to produce watches at price which renders
competition futile, and those who buy any other
watch merely pay sfrOm 25 to so per ecu: more
for their watches than is necessary.
These time-pieces combine every improvement
that q long experience has proved of real prac-
teal use. Having had tie refusal of nearly
every invention in watch. making originated in
this country or in Europe, only those were finally
adopted which severe testing by the most skil-
full artisans in our works, and long use on the
part of the public demonstrated to be essential to
correct and enduring time.1eeping.
Among the many improvements NO would par
ticularize:
The invention and use Of y centre pinion
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the
train by the breakage of main-sprngs. is original
with the American Watch Company, who, having
had the refusal of oil other contriyances adopted
Fogg's patent pinion as being the best and fault
less.
Hardened and tempered hair.springs, now
universally admitted by Watchmakers to DO the
best, are used in all grades Of Waltham Watch
es.
All Waltham Watches have dust proof caps,
protecting the movement from dust, and lessening
the necessary Of the frequent cleaning necessary
in other watches.
Our new patent stem. wind,r, or keyless watch
is already decided success, and q great inn
provement on any stem. winding watch in the
American market, and by far the cheapest watch
of its quality now offered to the public. To those
living in portions Of the United States where
watchmakers do not abound, watches With the
above mentioned improvements which tend to
ensure accuracy, cleanliness, durability and con-
venience, must prove invaluable.

SICK HEADACHE.EA recent medical
writer thus accounts for sick headache,
from which so many persons suffer.
He attributed it to a weak stomach
and imferfect digestion, and that the
attacks are usually proceeded by a
greater than ordinary appetite. The
stomach is naturally weak, and SO
long as it is not crowded it works
kindly. By and by more food is put
into it-or more irritating kinds-than
it can digest. 1t ferments, an acid
state is produced, and acid acts as an
irritant upon the coats of the stomach,
and this irritation is taken to be a call
for food, to satisfy which mOie is taken,
and all to no purpose; the pool
stomach r%evolts but with the rest
during the headache, and the relief
from the vomiting, it its
wonted tone. If this he correct. the
remedy is a very simple one. Absti'
hence from food for n meal or two.
or a denial of the unnatural cravings
of the appetite wonld seem TO b'
all that is required. Sufferers from
this disease should test the value o
this advice.

With feelings Of great regret
we announce the death OF Mrs. he
becca Baillio, wife of Il esteemed
tellow-citizen, Judge Gervais Bail
Ito. This sad event, which has
cast a gloom over the family circle,
occurred in New Orleans on the
ODD ult., at the city Hotel, where
she had been spending a few days
of recreation and ease. Her mala-
day was pneumonia; she was at
tended by DR.. Smith, and though
away from home, was surrounded
and nursed by dear and near rela-
tives and the kindest Of friends.
The deceased was a native OF
this Town, born in 1917, and the
death of one so estimable came on
us so suddenly that we can hardly
realize the extent of the shock and
of.the void which the melancholy
event has caused in the commune
ty i'm which she lived. She was
purely a good woman, and her
goodness of heart led her to sym
pathise with all who were in dis
tress. But it. was within her OWE
family circle that her virtues shone
most conspicuously, and her loss
is most keeniy felt by those who
knew her in the dearest and sweet
est relations of life, because it is
they alone who are capable of ap.
preciating her worth to its fullest
extent. She was buried, on las
Sabbath, in the family cemetery
near Pineville, with the impressive
and solemn ceremonies of the Cath
Ollie Church, a strict and exemplary
member Of which she was all he.
