ARCANA WATCH.
An Elegant Novelty in Watches.
The cases of this watch are an entirely new invention, composed of six different metals combined, rolled together and planished, producing an exact imitation of 18-carat gold, called Arcana, which will always keep its color. They are as beautiful and durable as solid gold, and are afforded at one-eighth the cost. The case is beautifully designed, with panel and shield for name, with patent pushpin, and engraved in the exact style of the celebrated Gold Hunting Levers, and are really handsome and desirable, and so exact an imitation of gold as to defy detection. The movement is manufactured by the well-known St. Jimer Watch Company of Europe, and are superbly finished, having engraved pallets, fancy carved bridges, adjusting regulator, with gold balance, and the improved ruby jeweled action, with line dial, and skeleton hands, and is warranted a good time-keeper. These watches are of three different sizes, the smallest being for ladies, and are all hunting cases. A case of six will be sent by mail or express for $125. A single one sent in an elegant morocco case for $25. Will readily sell for three times their cost. We are the sole agents for this watch in the United States, and none are genuine which do not bear our trade-mark.

Brandreth's Pills.
A lady of fifty-six was out of health generally; no food agreed with her; always violent pains in the stomach after eating. All the remedies she took did her no good until at last she took BRANDRETH'S PILLS for a few days together, then rested for a few days. This method she followed for three months, which restored her health completely.
A young lady was obliged to leave school because of a constant severe pain in the region of the heart when she read aloud or spoke, or went up stairs or walked quickly. Her case was nearly a fatal one, by the remedies employed, of which bleeding was one. But at length she used BRANDRETH'S PILLS, which in one year cured her, and now her health is fully restored.
TUMOR OF THE NECK CURED.
A young gentleman had a tumor on one side of his neck which had been years in coming. It was pronounced a cancer. DR. BRANDRETH expressed the opinion that perseverance with his PILLS would cure it. They were used according to the printed instructions which accompany each box, and soon the tumor began to give way. In a little over one year they cured it perfectly, and the gentleman can not now be surpassed for health and vigor.
Is it any wonder BRANDRETH'S PILLS are so well patronized?
BRANDRETH'S PILLS are sold at 25 cents per box, enveloped in full directions. Purchase none unless my PRIVATE GOVERNMENT STAMP is on the box. See upon it B. BRANDRETH in white letters.
