Two Noted Grave R,ohhera.

Our readers will remember the account
given in these columns of the robbing of
the grave of the Hon. Scott Harrison. in
Ohio. last May, the body being found in
the dissecting~room of the Ohio Medical
College. Public Indignation justly brands
any man as scoundrel who will rob the
grave of the dead. But there are two
noted grave robbers in the country, so far
from being the subjects of the peoples
wrath, are universally lauded for their
virtues, The reason is plain While the
former class steal the dead, bodies of our
loved ones to submit them to the dissecting
knife, these only rob the graves to restore
the living victims to our hearts and homes.
Their names-Dr. Pierce Golden Medical
Discovery and Pleasant Purgative PeI-

BOW Watchas ara Made

1t will be apparent to any one, who
will examine SOLID GOLD WATCH that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving aud polishing, the large proper
ton of thesprecieus metal used is needed
only to stitfen aud hold the engraved
portions in place, and supply the necessary
solidity and strength. The surplus gold IS
actually needless, so far as UTILITY and
beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS
PATENT STIFFENED GOLD WATCH
GASES, this WASTE OF precious metal is
overcome, and the SAME soLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from one-third to
one-half OF the usual cost of solid cases.
This process is of the most simple nature.
as follows:-A plate Of composition metal.
specially adapted to the purpose, has two
plates OF SOLID GOLD soldered one on each
side, The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers. and the result is a
strip OF heavily plated composition. from
which the cases, backs. centres, bezels.
&c., are cut and shaped by suitable dies
and formers. The gold in these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds of
chasing. engraving and enameliing: and
eRgraved cases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth By time and use
without removing the gold. These cases
are for sale By all jewelers., and are guar
aDteed BY SPECIAL CERTIFICATE to
WEAR FOR 20 YEARS. If your lew
