PATENT AGENCY.
189 Broadway, New York.
M esars. BROWN, COOMBS & CO., Proprie
tors of the AMERICAN ARTISAN, offer their
best services to inventors, as Solicitors ot Ameri
can aud Foreign Patents. Mr. IItg«K( T. Brows,
of this firm, lias bad more than hoenly-two years’
experience in that prefession, both in this country
and Europe, and bis long practice has made
him personally known to thousands of inven
tors and patentees. The applications for the
patents npon many of the greater nnd more im
portent inventions ol the present century have been
prepared by him. Messrs. Brow a, Coombs &Co.,
are thoroughly familiar with ull the rules nnd re
gulations instituted for the rapid transaction of
business with the United States Patent Office, and
the general practice in the Patent Bureaus of vari
ous European countries: and this knowledge ren
ders them confident t hat tlieir post expedience, witli
their present nuequaled facilities, enables them to
elaborately and yet speedily prepare ull the docu
ments required by law in applications for patents,
and to promise their clients an absolute certainty
of success'll, their|efi'orte to'obtain.LettersjPatentfor
inventions that ate really new and useful. Parti
cnlar care is given to the exeentiou of the «o«:Mrate
drawings which must always accompany every
application for a patent, and they employ none but
the most, efficient draughtsmen. The best evidence
of the manner iu which Messrs. Brown, Coombs
& Co.’s business is performed, is, that the “Amlu
ican Artisan Patent Aokncy,"during thethree
years of its existence, has been the most successful
snstiluliou of the kind ever established.
Tiio priiKipal offices of Messrs. Brows. Coombs
& Co. arc situated at 18!) Broadway,onp6site John
• street, New York, in the most central part of tire
city. This location is one of very easy access by
strangers, inasmuch us it is within a stono's throw
from the City Hail. All inventors temporarily so
journing in the metro|>olis are invited to visit this
establishment. ln|l hemajority of instance no model
or drawing of an invention will be necessary on
the first interview, as a mere oral description by
tlie visitor will ordinarily sutlice to convey such
aknowledge of his invention as will enable Messrs.
Brown, Coombs & Co. to definitely determine
whether a machine or process is uew or old —paten
table or not. The office horns are from 9a.m.
to 5 r. m.
Messrs. Brows, Coombs & Co. are prepared to
furnish to persons residing at a distance from New
York—free of charge- hbrillen opiitlons as to
whether inventions contain any features of paten
table novelty; to do this they simply require a
sketch or rongh model of tlif machine or other in
vention that, is suppored to be new, together with
a brief description of the same, and ns soon as pos
sible thereafter a letter of tbe best advice is mail
ed to the person desiring tin’ information. These
opinions are formed from their owu mature exper
ience; but if an inventor desires to know, positively,
whether his incipient idea has ever laxu embodied
in a machine or process already patented, his wisest
course will be to have a preliminary examination
made at the United States Patent office by Messrs.
Brown, Coombs & Co., who will make a special
searebjamoug all the records of that institution, anil
then promptly forward a full and carefully written
report as to the patentability of the invention un
der examination. For this'labor tile small fee of
$5 is payabh; in advance; and the i emittance
shouldbe accompanied by a sketch of the invention
and a few lines of writing describing the same,
and distinctly statingthose pointsof noveltv which
the inventor desires to have protected by Letters-
Patent
Patents for uew aud imeful inventions are now
granted for tbe term of sevkntf KN ykaus The
flrstinstalment olJliedSoverntnemdee is sls, which
sum—together with fifty cents revenue stamp-tax
on the power-of attorney— is payable in advance,
on applying for the patent; and S.H) additional are
due to the Government when the Lettera-Patenture
allowed. The Agency fee is from upward, ac-.
cording to the labor involved; but in all cases our
charges will he as moderate as possible iu the pre
paration of drawings and all necessary documents.
This tee is not payable until after the application

MEDICIRALIII I
Asiatic Cholera in China.
ALMOST EVERY CASE
CURED WITH
PAIN KILL Eli.
>
Read the following letter from
Kev.R. Telford. Missionary in China, new
visiting his home in Pennsylvania:
Washington, Pa., June 25,1866.
Messrs. Perry Davistk Son, Providence,R. l.i
1 Dear Siw—During a residence of some ten
■ years as a Missionary in Siam and China, I found
. your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable
' remedy for that fearful scourge, the Cholera.
1 In administering the medicine, I found it moat
■ effectual to gjvo a teaspoonfnl of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot water sweetened with sugar; then,
1 after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table
' spoonful ot tho same mixture every tninnte until
relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to
the extremities. Bathe the stomach with Pain
Killer, clear and rub the limbs briskly. Os those
who bad the cholera, aud took the medicine faith
frilly in the way stated above, eight ont of ten
recovered. Toura, iruty,
K TELFORD.
If au attack with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or
Cramp Colic, don’t delay therose of the Pain
Killer. Bold by all -medicine dealers. Price, 25
cents, 50 cents, and $1 per bottle.
Manhattan, Kansas, April 17,1866.
Gentlemen— * _ * * I want to say a little
more about the Pain Kiiier. I consider h a very
valuable medicine, and always keen it on hand.
I have travelled a good deal since I have been in
Kansas, and never without taking it with me,
In my practice I used it freely for the Asiatic
Cholera, in 1819, and with better success than any
other medicine; I also used it here for cholera in
1855, with the same good result.
Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. D.
Swatu, China.
Cholcia I * * * I regret lo say that the
cliole.ru has prevailed here of late to a fearful
extent. For the last three weeks, from ten to
fifty or sixty fatal cases eacli day has been re
ported. I should add that the Puin Killer, sent
recently from tlie Mission House, has been used
with considerable success daring this epidemic.
If taken in season is generally effectual in check
ing the disease.

[From the Portland Monthly.]
Summer Complaint and Dysentery.
Bowel complaints seem just now to be the
prevailing element, and any medicine that is
every where acceptable, and that is reliable, is a
very desirable acquisition. From what we have
seen, heard, and experienced, we believe Davis'
Pain Killer is this desideratum. For the best
method of using it, we quote from the directions:
“For common bowel complaints, give one tea
spoontul in a gill of new milk and molasses, in
equal parte, stirred well together; lessen the dose
tor children, according to the age. Ff the pain be
severe, bathe tbe bowels and back with I lie medi
cine. This mode of treatment is good in cases of
the cholera morbus, sudden stoppages, etc. Ke
peat the dose every hour.
“The quickest way I ever saw tlie dysentery
cured was* by taking one spoonful of ihe Pain
Killer in one gill of milk aud molasses stirred
well together and drank hot, at the saiile time
bathing the bowels freely with medicine Let
the dose be repeated every hour until the patient
is relieved.”
If every pereon who has reason to fear this
disease would provide themselves with a Ipittle
of this medicine, andffisr as occasion required, we
believe a great union ill of Buffering and sjctaiess
would be saved. je!2—2m
