BAM’b LKVY, .epi—3M . Ordinary. The American Artisan 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- Pateut Patents for new and useful inventions ate now granted forthoterm of sivknthbn ykars The first instalment oftlie Governmem lee is sls, which sum—together with fifty cents revenue stamp-tax on the powcr-of attorney-is payable tn adeauec, on applying for Hie patent; and s2tl additional are due to tlie floverument when the letters Patent are allowed. Tlie Agency fee is from $25 upward, ac cording to the labor involved; but in all cases our charges will te as moderate us possible in the pre paration of drawings ami all necessary documents. Tliis fee is not payable until after the application has been prepared mid tlie ease is ready to be sent to Wa-hHigton. Messrs. Bhown. Coombs <fc Co. have a branch m Washing ton so that all nppltou tious made through them can have every necessary attention iu their passage through the I‘atentl Itiice Inventors applying for patents must furnish models of their machines, whenever possible, for the inspection of tlie Examiners in the Patent Office; but if the invention is a chemical composi tion, samples of all the ingredients will be neces sary. Each of these should lie marked with the in ventor's name, then carefully boxed, and sent (by express, prepaid}, together with the tiret instalmeu of the Government fee, to Messrs Baows, Coombs &. Co. When tlie model is small and light, it can be. conveniently and cheaply sentby mail The model must not exceed one foot in any of itsdimens ions, unless it is of such a character that it is im practicable. Patents, except those for liesigus, are granted on equal terms to citizens and all loreigners, except inhabitants of Canada and some olln-rs of die British American Provinces. Besides patents or new and usetiii iitvt Rtions. there are also granted patents for designs. Design-patents arc not now, as formerly, limited strictly to ornamental configuration ; but under Section 11 of the Act of March 2. 1861. any new form of any article, or any impression otjiyure upon the surface of any article or uiateriul, by whatever means or process produced, can lie patented. Un der tins Act. patentees are entitled to the extem sionof their respective patents for the term of seben years from the day on which sai'l patents Blwll ex pire, upon the sumo terms and lestrictioiis as are now provided for the extensions of Letters Patent. Among tho numerous subjects foi patents of this chiss may be particularly mentioned—eastings of all msials, parts of machiiMM, household'furniture and utensils; glassware, hardware of ail kinds, cornices,aud oUiei interior and exterior decorstieus of buildings; also, designs for woven and printed folirka, dress and upholstery trimmings, aud liar ness laliels and trade marks for medicines, per fumery, and all preparations, comp-'.-nenis, or nserclsiiuli e, pul up iu bottles, boxes, or other packages, arc suitable subjects; also, lite forms of such bottles, boxes, or packages themselves, and envelopes, likewise all works of art, as staluary, busts, comoositioiin in alto or basso-relievo. The Governmeiit feu on a design patent forilj years is $1(1; 7 years, sls; 11 years, s3<). No nioitols of designs are required; but duplicate drawings or photograph* must be furnished- The specification to aceompanv the drawings- or photographs re quires to be'prepared with great care. Messrs Brown, CyoMiis Co. givo very parlicular al tentioß to Illis branch of their business. Their charge for preparing applicat iotis for design-pa ten Is is generally aliout sls.

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, Rt v. CHARLES HARDINIG. Biiola|H,re. India. [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 Special Hotice. * H ® E £ LXZ ■ =- j .2 B a 'lm J" -W s- ? » Hrs | : •§; 'a -z * fi.
