M essrs. BROWN, COOMBS Ar. CO.. Proprie
tors of the AMERICAN ARTISAN, offer their
best services to inrentors, as Solicitors of Ameri
can and Foreign Patents. Mr. Httitnr T. Brown,
of this firm, has had more than tmenty-lwo yearn’
experience in t hat prefession, both in this country
and Europe, and his long practice hns ntado
liim personally known to thousands of inven
tors ami patentees. Tho applications for the
patents upon many of the greater and more im
portant inventions ol the present century have been
prepared by him. Messrs. Brown. Coom ns Co.,
are thoroughly familiar with all the rules ami re
gulations instituted for the rapid tiansaction of
bnsiness with the United States Patent Office, and
the genetal practice in the Patent. Bureaus of vari
ous European countries; aud this knowledge ren
ders t hem confident t hat their post experience, with
their present uneqnaled facilities, enables them to
elaborately and yet speedily prepare all tho docu
ments required liy law in applications for patents,
and to promise their clients an absolute, certainty
ofanceess'in their[etforts to(obtain;LettersjPateiit for
inventions that are really new and useful. Parti
cular care is given to the execution of the accurate
drawing) which must always accompany every
application for a patent, and they employ none but
themoetefficient draughtsmen. The best evidence
of the manner in which Messrs. Brown. Coombs
& Co.’s business is performed, is, that the “Amur
ican Artisan Patent Agk.ncy, during thethree
yeara of its existence, has been the most swrce.<aful
institution of the kind ever catablisbcd.
The principal offices of Messrs. Brown.Coombs
& Co. are situated at 189 Broadway, opposite John
street, New York, in the most central part of the
city. Tins location is one of very easy access by
strangers inasmuch as it is within a stone's throw
from the City Hall. All inventors temporal ily so
tourning in tho metropolis are invited to visit this
establishment. 1 n|the majority of instance no model
or drawing of an invention will bo necessary on
the first, interview, as a mere urn! description by
file visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey such
aknowlcdge of bis invention as will enable Mcssr.-.
Brown, Coombs & Co. to definitely determine
whethern machine or process is new or old—paten
table or not.. The office hours are from !)a.m.
to 5 I’. M.
Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co. are prepared to
furnish to persons residing at a distance from New
York—free of charge—tcriWea opinions as t •>
whether inventions contain any featuresof paten
table novelty, to do this they simply re.iniro a
sketch or rough model of the machine or other in
vention that is supposed to be new, together with
a brief description of the same, and as soon as pos
sible thereafter a letter of the best advice is mail
ed to the person desiring the information. These
opinions arc formed from their own mature expel
ienceibut tfauinventor desiresto know, posit.ividy,
whether his incipient idea has ever been 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 Meiers.
Brown, Coombs & Co., who will make a special
search'.among all the records of that institution, and
then promptly forward a full and carefully written
report as to the patentability of the invention un
der examination. For this labor the small fee ot

shouMoc accompanied by a sketch of tho invention
and a few lines of writing describing the ssinm
and distinctly stating those points of novelty which
the inventor desiresto have protected by Letters-

sum—together with fifty cents revenue stamp tax
on the power-of attorney—is payable in advance,
on applying for the patent; and s2lt additional are
due to the Government when the Letters Patent ar.

cording to the labor involved; but tn nil cases our
charges will be as moderate as possible in the pre

This fee is not payable until after the application

Read the following letter from
Rev. R. Telford. Missionary in China, now
visiting his home in Pennsylvania:
Washington, Pa., June 25,1866.
A/dws. Perry Roh, Providence, It. I.:
Dear Sirs—During a residence of some ten
years as a Missionary in Siam and C’liina, I found
your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable
remedy tor that fearful scourge, lhe Cholera.
In admiiiistetiug the medicine, [ found it most
effectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a
gill ot hot wrter sweetened with sugar; then,
after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table
spoonful oi the same mixture every minute until
relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to
the extremities. Bathe the stomach With Pain
Killer, clear aud rub lhe limbs briskly. Os those
who had the cholera, and took the medicine faith
fully in the way stated above, eight out of ten
recovered. Yours, tauiv,
r Telford.
If an attack with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or
Cramp Colic, don’t delay the use of the Pain
Killer. Sold by all mediciop dealers. Price, 25
cents, 56 cents, and $1 per bottle.
Manhattan, Kansas, April 17, 1866.
Gentlemen— * * I want, to say a little
more about the Pain Killer. I consider it a very
valuable, medicine, and always keen it on liana.
I have travelled a good deal since I nave been in
Kansas, and never without taking it with me,
In my practice 1 used it freely for the Ada|ic
Cholera, in 1819, and with better success thanuiiy
other medicine , I also used it here for cholera iu
1855, with the same good result.
Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. D.
Swato, China.
Cholcicu! * :i x 1 regret to say that the
cholera has prevailed here of late to a feaifnl
extent. For the la. t, throe weeks, from ten lo
fifty or sixty fatal cases each day has been re
ported. I should add that tho Pain Killer sent
recently from the Mission House, has been used
with considerable success during this epidemic.
If taken in season i: generally effectual iu check
ing the disease.

[From the Portland Monthly.l
Summer Complaint p.nd Dysentery.
Bowel complaints seem just now to be tho
prevailing • lenient, and any mediciik; that is
everywhere a< ceptablo, and that is reliable, is a
very desiiabb acquisition. From what we have
seen, heard, and experienced, ww believe Davis*
Pain Killer is this desideratum. For the besA
method of using it, we notqfrom tho directions:
“For common bowel complaints, give one tea
spoonful in a gill of new milk and molasses, in
equal parts, stirred well together; lessen the doee
lor children, according to the age. If the pain be
severe, bathe the bowels and back with the ne di
cine. This mode of treatment is good :n of
the cholera morbus, sudden stoppages, etc, Re
peat the dose every hour
“The quickest way I ever saw the dysentery
cured was by taking one spoonful of the Pain
Killer in one giil of milk and molasse* stirred
well together and drank hot, at tlie same time
bathing the bowel* frcelv with medicine Let
the dose be repeated every hour until the patient
is relieved.”
If every person who has reason to fear this
disease would provide thciuael ws with a bottle
of this medicine, and use as occasion required, we
believe a great amount of stillering and sickness
would besaved. je!2—2ni
