A CARD
FROM THE
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY,
Of Waltham, Mass.
This Company beg leave to inform the public
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 ov
er 700 operatives. They produce 75,000 Watches
a year, and make and sell not less than one half
of all the watches sold in the United States.
The difference between their manufacture and
the European, is briefly this : European M'atches
are made almost entirely by hand, and the result
is of necessity a lack of that uniformity, which is
indispensable to correct tiinc-keeping. Both the
eye and the hand of the most skillful operative
must vary. But it is a fact that, except watches
of the higher grades, European watches are the
product of the cheapest labor of Switzerland, and
the result is the worthless Ancres. Lepines and so
called Patent Levers—which Suon cost more in at
tempted repairs, than their original price. Com
mon workmen, boys and women, tuy the rough
separate parts of these watches from various fac
tories, polish and put them together, and take
them to the nearest watch merchant, who stamps
and engraves them with any name or brand that
may be ordered.
How AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE.
The American M'altham M'atch is made by no
such uncertain process—and bj' no such incompe
tent workmen. All the Company's operations,
from the reception of the raw materials to the
completion of the M'atch, are carried on under one
roof, and under one skillful and competent direc
tion. But the great distinguished feature of their
M'ajches, is the fact that their several parts are
all made by the finest, the mist perfect and deli
cate machinery ever brought to the aid of human
industry. Every one of the more than a hundred
parts of every watch is made by a machine—that
infallibly reproduces every succeeding part with
the most unvarying accuracy. It was only neces
sary to make one perfect watch of any particular
style and then to adjust the hundred machines
necessary to 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
by their improved mechanical processes than can
be made under the old-fashioned handicraft sys
tem. They manufacture watches of every grade,
from a good, low priced, and substantial article
in solid silver hunting cases, to the finest chron
ometer; and also ladies' watches in plain gold or
the finest enameled and jeweled cases; but the in
dispensable requisite of all their watches is that
they shall be GOOD TIME-KEEPERS. It should
be remembered that except their single lowest
grade named'-Home Watch Company, Boston,"'
ALL WATCHES made by them
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
by a special certificate, and this warrantee is good
at all times against the Company or its agents.

DR. SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP.
This great medicine cured Dr. J. 11. Schenek, the
proprietor, of Pulmonary Consumption, when it
had assumed its most formidable aspect, and when
speedy death appeared to be inevitable. Hisphy
sicians prononnced his case incurable, when he
commenced the ise of this simple but powerful
remedy. His health was restored in a very short
time, and no return of the disease has been appre
hended, for all the symptoms quickly disappeared,
and his present weight is more than two hundred
pounds.
Since his recovery, he has devoted his attention
exclusively to the cure of Consumption, and the
diseases which are usually complicated with it,
and the cures effected by his medicines have been
very numerous and truly wonderful. Dr. Schenck
makes professional visits to several of the larger
cities weekly, where he has a large concourse of
patients, and it is truly astonishing to see poor
consumptives that have to be lifted out of their
carriages, and in a few months healthy, robust
persons. Br. Schenok'S Pi l.ho.vii- STRVP, Ska-
WEED TOXIC, and MANDRAKE PILLS, are generally
all required i"n curing Consumption. Full direc
tions accompany each, so that any one can take
them without seeing Dr. Schenck, but when it is
convenient it is best to see him. He gives advice
free, but for a thorough examination with his Re
spiromc,er his foe is three dollars.
Please observe, when purchasing, that the two
likenesses of the Doctor, one when in the last stage
of consumption, and the other as he now is, in per
fect health, are on the Government stamp
Sold by all druggists and dealers; price $1 50
per bottle, or $7 50 the half dozen. All letters for
advice should be addressed to Dr. Schenck s prin
