All About It. — ■♦ The Waterbury is so cheap that anybody can afford to have one. A watch, however, to be cheap, and at the same time to be good, must be of very simple construction. In the "Waterbury" the power is applied directly, instead of being multiplied by an elaborate system of wheels. The spring is, consequently, a long one. Hence we often hear the objection that "it takes all day to wind." The Waterbury Company could easily manufacture a quick- winding watch; but then it would not be the "cheapest watch in the world," or else it would not be a reliable timekeeper. In a word, it would not be the " Waterbury." But because it is cheap, do not think it is only a toy, or a "watch good enough for children." It has all the traits of the best makes, and aa it adds to these unusual strength and durability, besides cheapness, it is essentially the watch for the mechanic, the farmer, the clerk, the working-man — in a word, THE WATCH FOE THE PEOPLE. And it is sold by all Storekeepers and Dealers throughout the Colony.

Having hod inflammation on the bone of the leg, which oame on after a severe attack of low fever, I was attended by Dr J. Boyd, who had made strenu- ! ous efforts to save my leg, but without success. He then found it necessary to amuntato my limb. Having heard in the meantime "of the wonderful < cures worked by the Eucalypti Extract, I obtained a bottle, and the extract had not been applied more than an hour when I began to feel greatly relieved. After applying tho extract every four hours for nine or ten days, I was out of all danger. I would per. suado all who may be affected with any suoYx disease to give the Eucalypti Extract a trial, and 1 am convinced that thoy will find it the most wonderful of medicines.— Tonrß, &c, B. J.
