Attention is invited To the following
statement anil the accompanying tes'imoni
ali in favor of these w&etf*' ■
CELEBRATED AMERICAN WATCHES,
A Gold Medal was awarded the Company by the
Massachusetts Mechanical Association, 1850. A
Gold Medal was also awarded them by the Amer
ican Institute at New York, in 1857. The Compa- j
ny also received the First Premium—a Gold Medal
- from the Franklin institute, Philadelphia, in
1858.
These Watches have now been in ttie market for :
nearly ten years, during which time they have been
tested as to
ACCURACY, DURABILITY AND RELIABIL
ITY,
in every conceivable manner, and have proved
themselves to be the most satisfactory time pieces
ever ottered to the public.
This result has been brought about b.y a stiict ap
plication of mechanical science to the construction
of the watch from its very inception, reudeiing it, ;
when finished
MAT HEMATIC ALL Y CORRECT,
in all proportions, and necessarily as perfect a time
keeper as it is possible to make.
The Company have tested their Watches, in
many instances, by actual daily noting, and the re- j
suit of tins test has been that they have exhrbiled i
a rate aqua! in iregularity to the best marine chro- :
nometer.
N. B.— We have just introduced a
JTEIV STYLE OF WATCH
elaborately finished, and thinner than any we have
heretofore produced, with several improvements
calculated to secure the greatest accuracy of pet for- ;
rriance, and tt|re vent the usual accidents and de
rangements to which foreign watchts are liable.

Dear Sir:—The American Watch, No. 9210,
presented me by the New York Chess Club, proved
to be a most reliable and accurate time-keeper—al
most unnecessarily so lor ordinary purposes. It is
ciow nearly live months since it came info my pos
session, and during that period its variation from i
standaid time has been but a trifle more than half a
minute. The following is a reeord of its perfor- j
mance. It was set June 3d correctly:

IJfOHRER'S PRACTICAL CAL
—
A Book o! Plain Rules and Calculations for Business
Operation, By Martin M. Rohrer, Practical
Surveyor end Conveyancer. New Edi
tion, Published by J. B. Lippincott
it Co., Philadelphia-
This work contains 204 pages, and upwards of
300 Rules and Examples, entirely and thoroughly
flractical, such as arise every day in the common
pursuits of Business. It has already passed through
a number of Editions in rapid succession, and is
pronounced by all classes et business men to be
the handiest book of reference, pertaining to calcu
lations, that has ever been published.
Every example in the book is worked out in full
and tated in a plain manner, so that when a par
allle case arises, those referring to the work will
find no difficulty in readily solving it ; in a word,
the general arrangement of the Calculator is so
simple, that ar.y one who knows how to add, sub
stract, multiply, ordivide, can easily solve any or.
dinary example that arises in business, or arrive at
the result of any estimate required,
The chief aim of the author has been to eschew
theory and philosophy in figures, aiming only at
facts and simplicity, believing that business men
care little about spending time in discussing the
philosophy of rules or the science of.figures, deern
ing it sufficient for their purpose to be able at a
moment, by reference, to arrive at the true result
The calculator differs in this respect from all A
rit'nmetics of the day, and kindred works—it is a
key to practical business calculations—it is, in the
hands of the business man, what the key to math
emrtieal works is in the hands of the teacher in the
school-room—it facilitates time and insures cor
■rectnrss.
THE WORK TREATS OF THE
Measurement of Land, of Lumber, of Brick and
Brick work, of Stone and Stone Work, of Gram
and Grain Bins, of Coal and Coal Bins, of Wood, of
Solids, of Liquids, of Circular, of Square, or Irregu
lar Vessels, ot Cisterns and Vats, of Roofing, of
Plasterers', Painters', Gtnziers', Pavers', Plumbers,
Paper Hangers', and Upholsters', Work. It treats
of Currency nd of Foreign and Domestic Exchange
ol the Decimal System, of Reduction and its exten
ded application to Business, of Simple and compound
Interest, and their entire application to Business
transactions, with the laws and usages governing
and regulating the same, together with numerous
Commercial Forms—of Legal Tender, of Partial
Payments on Notes, of Banking and Bank Discount
of Equation or Payments and Partnership Accounts
ot Assessment of Taxes, of Weights and Measures,

react upon themselves and the surrounding organs, pro

While in this condition, oppressed by the derangements,
take Ayer's Mils, nisi see how directly they restore tho
natural" action of the system, and with it tho buoyant
fueling of health again. What is true and so apparent in
•this trivial aud coin nam complaint, is also true in many
oT the deep-seated and daugeroua distempers. The same
purgative effect expels them. Caused by similar obstruc

of nlcerotih sores upon her hands and feet that bad proved

your Pills, and they havo cured her.

From Dr. £. H r . Oartunight, New Orleans.
Your Pills are the prince of purges. Their excellent
qualities surpass any cathartic we possess. They aro
mild, but very certain and effectual in their action on the
bowels, which makes them invaluable to us iu the daily
treatment of disease.

From Dr. Edward Boyd, Baltimore.
Dzjl&BßO. AVER: I cannot answer vou what complaints
I havo cur&l with your Pills better than to say all that we
ever treat with a purgative medians. I place great depen
dence on an effectual cathartic in my daily contest with
diaoasc, and believing as I do that your Pills afford us tho
best we have, I of course value them highly.
Pirrsßcao, May 1,1865.
DR. J. C. ATEIL Sir: I have been repeatedly cured of
the worst heartache any body can have by a dost* or two
of your Pills. It seems to arise from a foul stomach,
which they cleanse at once.

Bilious Disorders Liver Complaints*
From, Dr. Theodore BeU, of New York City.
Not only are your Pills admirably adapted to their pur
pose as an aperient, bnt I And their beneficial effects upon
tho Liver very marked indeed. They have in my prac
tice proved more effectual for the enre of bilious o/m
--plaiyd* than any remedy 1 can mention. 1 sincerely
rejoice that we have at length a purgative which is wor
thy the confidence of the profession aud the people.
DEPARTMENT OP THE IYTRRIOR, >
Washington, D.C., 7th Eeb., 2856. J
SIR: I have used your Pills in my general and hospital
practice ever since you made them, and cannot hesitate to
say they arc the best cathartic we employ. Their regu
lating action on the liver is quick and decided, conse
quently they are an admirable remedy for derangements
of that organ. Indeed, 1 have seldom found a case of
bilious disease so obstiuate that it did not readily yield to
them. Fraternally yours, ALONZO BALL, M. D.,
Itiysician of the Marine Hospital.
Dysentery, Diarrhoea, Relax, "Worms.
From Dr. J. G. Greets of Chicago.
Your Pills have bad a long trial In my practice, and I
hold them in esteem as one of the best aperients I have
ever found. Their alterative effect upon the liver makes
them an excellent remedy, when given in small doses for
bilious dysentery and diarrhcea. Their sugar-coating
makes them very acceptable aud convenient for the use
of women and children.
Dyspepsia, Imparity of the Blood.
From Rev. J. V. Htmcs, JAistor of Advent Churchy Boston.
DR. ATER: I have used your Pills with extraordinary
success in my family and among those I am called to visit

purify the blood, they are the very best remedy I have
ever known, and I can confidently recommend them to
xuy friends. Yours, J. Y. HIM Ed.

From Dr. J. J*. Vaughn, Montreal, Canada.
Too much cannot be said of your Pills for the euro of
corttvenrm. If others of our fraternity have found thcui
as efficacious as I have, they should join me in proclaim
ing it for the benefit of the multitudes who suffer from
that complaint, which, although bad enough in itself, is
the progenitor of others that are worse. I believe cos
tiveness to originate in the liver, hut your Pills affect that
organ and cure the disease.
From Mrs. E. Stuart, Physician and Midwife, Boston.
I And one or two large doses of your Pills, taken at tho
proper time, are excellent promotives of the natural secre
tion when wholly or partially suppressed, and also very
effectual to cleanse the stomach and expel worms. They
are so much die bast physic wo have that I recommend
no other to my patients.
