Put It in Oil.

Albany Journal. An Alßanian who recently dropped his watch wile fishing took it to a watchmaker, who told him thaf it was so badly rusted that partof the works would have to be duplicated. The watchmaker said “If you had only been thoughtful enough to have dropped your watch in oil as as you took it out of the water, or better yet, to have dropped it into alcohol or any kind of strong liquor, it would have cost you nothing but the cleaning.” ; This is well to remember.
