L’NITHI) STATKS AND FOREIGN
PATENT AGENCY.
189 Broadway, New York.
Meesra. BROWN, COOMBS &. CO .Pioprie
tors of the AMERICAN ARTISAN, offer their
beet services io inventors, as Solicitors of Ameri
cun and Foreign Patents. Mr. Hkkhy T.Brown,
of this firm, has had more than tmenly-two years'
experience in that, prefession, both in this country
and Europe, and his long practice luis made
him personally known to thousands of inven
tors and patentees. The applications for the
paten Is upon many of the greater and more im
portant inventions o( tlie present century have been
prepared by him. Messrs. Brown, Coomrs & Co.,
are thoroughly familiur with all the rules pud re
gulatiuua instituted for the rapid transaction of
biwiness with tlie United States'Patent Office, und
the general practice iu the Patent Bureaus of vari
ous European countries; aud this knowledge ren
ders them eoulidmit that their post experience, with
their present unequaled facilities, enables them to
elaborately and yet speedily prepare all the docu
ments required by law in applications for patents,
and to promise their clients an absolute certainty
ofsvecessiu theiijefforts for
inventions that me really new and useful. Parti
cular care is given to the execution of the accurate
drawings which mnrt always accompany every
application for a patent, aud they employ none but
thomostefficientdrauglitemen. The best evidence
of the manner in which Messrs. Bhown, CooflHs
& Co.’s business is pei formed, is. that the "Amsit
ican Aktiban Patknt Agenct,” during the three
years of its existence, has been the most successful
institution of the kind ever established-
The principal offices of Messrs. Brown.Coombs
& Co. are situated at 18!) Broadway, opposite John
street, New York, in the most central part of the
city. Thia location is one of very easy accese by
strangers inasmuch as it is within a stone’s throw
from the City Hall. All inventors temporarily so
journing in the metropolis are'invited to Visit this
establishment. Inh he majority of instance bo model
or drawing of an invention will bo uecoesary on
tlie first interview, ns a mere oral description by
tlie visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey sucli
aknowledge of Ills invention as wiilenalile Messrs.
Bbuvvn, Coombs & Co. to definitely determine
whether a machine or process is tow or old—lutten
table or not. The office hours are from Va. m.
to 5 I’. M.
Messrs. HnoWN, Coombs Co. are prepared to
furnish to persons residing at a distance from New
York—free of charge— written opinions as to
whether inventions contain any features ol |r.iten
table novelty; to do thb they simply require a
•ketch or rmigh model of the machine or other in
vention that is supposed to be new, together With
a brief description of the same, aud as soon as pos
sible thereafter a letter of the beet advice is mail
ed to the person desiring the information. These
opinions are formed from their own mature exper
ience-, but if au inventor dusiresto know, positively,
whether his incipient idea lias ever been embodied
in a machine or process already patented , his wisest
eourse will be to have a preliminary eiumiuation
made at the United States Patent office by Messrs.
Brown, Coombs Sc Co., who will make a special
searehjamong all the records of tlidt institution, and
then promptly forward a full anil carefully written
report as to tlie patentability of tlie invent ton uu
der examination- -Eor this labor the small fee of
$5 is payable tn advance; and the remittance
sliouldbe accompanied by a sketch of the invention
and a few lines of writing describing the same,
and distinctly stating those points of novelty which
the inventor desires to Itave protected by Letters-

Besides patents or new and usetiii iitvt Rtions.
there are also granted patents for designs.

the surface of any article or uiateriul, by whatever
means or process produced, can lie patented. Un

Asiatic Cholera in China.
ALMOST EVERY CASE
CURED WITH
PAIN KILLER.
Read the following letfer from
Rev. R. Telford. Missionary ill L'luuff, now
visitrug his home in Pennsylvania:
Washisoton, Pa., June 25,1866.
Messrs. Perry Danis it tion j Providence, A.7.:
Dear Sirs—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.
Iu administering the medicine, I found it most
effectual to give a teaspooirfnl of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot wuter sweetened with sugar; tlieu,
after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table
spqouful ot the same mixture every minute until
relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to
the extremities. Bathe tlie stomach with Pain
Killer, clear and rub the limbs briskly. Os those
who had the cholera, and took the medicine faith
fully in the wny stated above, eight oat of ten
recovered. Yours, truly,
R TELFORD.
If an attack with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or
Cramp Colic, don’t delay the use of tbs Pain
Killer. Sold by all me<n< iiie dealers Price, 25
cents, 50 cents, mid $1 per bottle.
Manhattan, Kansas, April 17,1866.
Gentlemen — » » - j want to say a little
more aliout the Pain Killer. I consider it a yer*
valuable medicine, nod always keep itUul band.
1 have travelled, a.good dual since I. havfelieeti in
Kansas, and never without taking it with me.
In my practice I used it freely for the Asiatic
Cholera, iu 18411, mid with Vetter success than ally
other medicine : 1 also ueed it here for cholera in
18511, with tho same good result.
Truly, ymire, A HUNTING, M. D„
UwsTo; China.
Cholera! * * * I regret to say that the
cholera lets prevailed here of late to a fearful
extent. For the last throe wtoks, from ton to
fifty or sixty fatal cases each day has been re
ported. I slionld add that the Pain Killer, sent
recently irotn the Mission House, hue been used
with conriderablu success during this epidemic,
If taken in season is genet-alfy effectual in check
ing tho disease,

[From the Portland Monthly.]
Summer Complaint and Dysentery,-
Howel complaints teem jnst now to t» the
prevailing element, and any medicine that is
every where acceptable, and that is reliable, is H
very desirable acquisition. From what we have
seen, heard, and experienced, we believe Davis'
Pain Killer is this desideratum. For the bee*
method of using it, we quote from the directions:
“For common bowel complaints, give one tea
spoonful in a gill of new milk and molasses, in
equal parte, stirred well together, lessen tlie dose
for children, according to the ag e - If llie pain lie
severe, bathe the bow-els and back with the mv'ti
ciue. This mode of treatment is good in cases of
the cholera morbus, sudden stoppages, etc. Re
peat the dose every hour.
“The quickest way I ever saw the dysentery
cured was by tukiug one spoonful of the Pain
Killer in one’ gill of milk and molasses stirred
well together aud <haiik hot, at the same time
bathing tho bowels freely with medicine. Let
the dose he repented every hour trim! the patient
is relieved.”
If every person who has reason to fear this
disease would provide themselves with a bottle
of this medicine, aud use as rwraeion required, we
believe a great amount of suffering andsickness
would be saved je!2—2m
