LADIES’ SOLID-GOLD WATCHES. 
Almostevery young gentleman prides himself upon carrying a watch of some hind, 
and gentlemen can with perfect propriety, carry a silver watch an imitation gold, or 
a nickel watch, provided it is a good time-keper. Although ladies have the sameprldo 
about carrying a watch, and take the same pleasure in doing so that Gentlemen do, 
still the great majority of Ladies do not carry watches. There are two reasons for their 
notdoing so. First it is not considered quite the proper thing for a Lady to carry any but 
a Gold Watch, and second, Gold Watches have heretofore been so high in price that 
the majority of young ladies could not afford to own one. Realizing this con¬ 
dition ofthings, wo have, after much time spent *n Experimenting, and at 
great expense perfected a beautiful Ladies’ Watch with 
Solid Cold Hunting Cases Which wo are enabled to sell at the ex¬ 
tremely low price of Twelve Dollars, making it the cheapest 
Cold Watch In the World, tnd thu3 placing it within the reach of 
almost every younglady in tho land. Young gentlemen who havedesired to 
make their favorite sister or sweetheart a present of a Watch, (and, by the way, 
a nice Watch is one of the prettiest and most desirable presents that can do 
f iven,) and who have been prevented by the high price of watches from 
oingso,can now purchase an Elegant Cold Watch, without feel¬ 
ing Impoverished a whole year afterward. Wo make the cases of our New 
Ladies’Watch of Solid Cold, Elegantly Engraved, and in very truth, 
they are “Things of Perfect Beauty.” They have fine Nickel Movements, 
L,nd are fully guaranteed for time. Every Watch is put up in beautiful velvet 
linedCase. Sent by Registered mail, on roceipt of S 12.00. Ifyouorder

BREAKFAST. 
“By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which 
govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a 
careful application of the fine properties of well-selected 
Cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a 
delicately flavored beverage which may save us many heavy 
doctor's hills. It Is by the Judicious use of such articles of 
diet that a constitution may he gradually built up until strong 
enough to resist every tendency to disease. Hundreds of 
subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack where 
ever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal 
shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood 
and a properly nourished frame.”— Civil Service Gazette.
