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 •5 is payable in advance; ami the temittam o 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- Fa, tent Patents for new and useful inventions are now granted for the term of seven tiF' tears lhe first instalment ot’the Government lee is sl.i, which 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. allowed The Agencv fee is from $25 upward, ac cording to the labor involved; but tn nil cases our charges will be as moderate as possible in the pre I. nation of drawings and all necessary documents.

Each of these sbonld be inarked with the in vent.u's name, then carefully boxed, and sent, (by express, prepotd), together with tho first instalmen of the Government fee, to Messrs Brown , Coo.n ns & Co. When the model is small ami light, it can be conveniently and cheaply sentby mail The model must not exceed one foot in any of itsdiniens ions, unless it is of sneh a character that it is im practicable.

Besides pntr-nts or new and usefit. inventions, there are also granted patents for ceeigns.

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. Kr v. CHARLES lIAKDINIG, Sholapong India. [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 Special Notice. § iHII 5 I I ■ ■ft I I V • y: r ■ I Spectacles Rendered Useless. pll K MOST EMINENT PHYSICIANS JL Oculists and Divines recommend the nso of the CORNEA RESTORERS for Presbyopia or Far or Long Sightedness, or every person who wears spectacles from old age ; Dimness of Vision or Blurring; Overworked eyes; Astheno pia or Weak Eyes ; Epiphora, or Watery Eyes ; Pain in the Eye ball; Amaurosis, or Obscurity of Vision ;> Photophobia, or Intolerance of Light; Weakness of the Retina and Optic Nerve: Myodesophia, or Specks of Moving Bodies before the eyes; Ophthalmia, or Inflam mation of the Eye and Eyelids, and Imperfect Vision from the effect of Inflammation, etc.; Cataract Eyes; liemiopia, or Partial Blind ness ; and many other Diseases of the Eye.
