The American Artisan
UNITED STATES AND FOREIGN
PATENT AGENCY.
189 Broadway, New York.
Messrs. BROWN, COOMBS & CO., Proprie
tors of the AMERICAN ARTISAN, offer their
best services to inventory, in Solicitors ot Ameri
can and Foreign Patents. Mr. HxnrtT.Brown,
of this firm, has had more than / trenly-itco gears'
experience in that prefession. both in this country
and Europe,, and his long practice has made
him personally known to thousands of inven
tors and patentees. Tlie applications for the
patents upon many of the greater and more im
portant inventions Os the present century have been
prepared by him. Messrs. Brown,Coombs & Co.,
are thoroughly familiar with nil the rules and re
gulations instituted for the rapid tiansaction of
business with the United States Patent Office, and
the geneial practice in the Patent Bureaus of vari
ous European countries; nud this knowledge ren
ders them confident that their post experience, with
their present unequaled facilities, enables them to
elaborately and yet’speedily prepare all the docu
ments required Gy law in applications for patents,
and to promise their clients an absolute certainty
ofsuccess'm theirjetforts toobtaiuLctters-Pateut ter
inventions that aie really new and useful. Parti
cnlar care is given to the execution of the accurate
drawings which must, always accompany every
application for a patent-, and they employ none but
lire most efficient draughtsmen. The best evidence
of the manner in which Messis. Brows', Coombs
&. Co.'s business is performed, is, that the “Amer
icas' Artisan Patent Aotnct."during the three
years of its existence, has been the most successful
institution of the kind ever established.
The principal offices of Messrs. Brown. Coon as
& Co. are situated at 189 Broadway .opposite John
street, N(w York, in the most central part of the
city- This location is one of very easy access 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. Injthe majority of instance uo model
or drawing of an invention will be necessary on
the first interview, as a mere oral description by
the visitor will ordinarily suffice to convey such
of his invention as will enable Messrs.
Brown, Coombs & Co. to definitely determine
whether a machine or process is new or old—paten
table or not. The office hours are from 9a.m.
to 5 r. m.
Messrs. Brown, Coombs &. Co. are prepared to
furnish to persons residing at a distance from Now
York- free of < barge— written opinions as to
whether inventions contain any lent urns of paten
table novelty; to do this they simply require a
sketcli 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 are formed from tlieir own mature exper
ience; but it an inventor desires to know, positively,
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 Messrs.
Brown, Coombs & Co., who w ill make a special
seaicbjamong all the Records of that institution, anil
then promptly forward a fall and carefully written
report as to the patentability of the invention un
der examination. For this labor the small fee of
i s payable in advance; and the remittance
should W 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 have protected by Letters-
Patent
Patents tor new aud useful inventions are now
granted for the term ot seventkkn teaks Hie
first instalment ofthe Government ice is *l r >, which
sum—together with fifty cents revenue stamp tax
on the power-of attoniey— is payable m advance,
on applying tor the patent; and S2O additional are
due toj.be Government when the letters Patent are
allowed. The Agency fee is from sls upward, ac
cording to the labor involved; but in all cases our
charges will he ns moderate as possible in the pre
paration of drawings aud all necessary documents.
This fee is not payable until after the application
Ims been prepared and the case is ready to be sent
to Washington. Messrs. BboWN. Coombs & Co.
liave a branchin Washington ho that all applien
tious made th rough them can liave every necessary
attention in tlieir passage through the Patent Office
Inventors applying for patents must furnish
models of tlieir machines, whenever possible, for
the inspection of the Examiners in the Patent
Office; but if the invention is a chemical composi
tion, samples of all the ingredients will be neces
sary. Em hos these should be marked with the iu
▼eiitor's name, then carefully boxed, and sent (by
express, prepaid}, together with tlie first instatuieu
of the Government fee, to Messrs B now n, Coombs
&. Co. When the model is small and light, it can
be conveniently and cheaply sentby »j«i/ The

o
p EAD THE FOLLOWING LETTER FROM
Ik Rev. R. Telford, Missionary iri China, now
visiting hisliome in Ponnsylvarrfa:
Washington, Pa., June2s, 1866
Messrs. Perry Davisd: Son, Providence, R. 1.:
Dear Sirs—During a residence of some ten
yC&rs as a Missionary in Siam and China, 1 found
your vegetable Pain Killer a most valunble
remedy for that fearful scourge, the Cholera.
In administering the medicine, I found it most
effectual to give a leaßpoonful of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot wr.ter sweetened with sugar; then,
after about fifteen minutes, begin to give a table
spoonful ot the same mixture every minute 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 had the cholera, and tookjthe medicine faith
fully in the way stated above, eight out of ten
recovered. Yours, Jrnly,
' R TELFORD.
If an attack with lliairhooih Dysentery, or
Cramp Colic, don't delay the use of the Pain
Killer. Mold by all medicine dealers. Price, 25
cents, 56 cents, and JI per bottle.
Manhattan, Kansas, April 17, 1866.
(Jcnlleincn— * * ' I want to say a little
more about the Pain Killer. I consider it a very
valuable medicine, and always keep it on hand.
1 have travelled a good deal since I have been in
Kansas, and never without taking it with me,
lu my practice 1 used it freely for the Asiatic
Cholera, in 1819, and with better success than any
other medicine , 1 also used it here for cholera in
1855, witli the same good resuit.
Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. !>.
Swatu, China.
Cholera! * * I regret to say tlmtjlie
cholera has prevailed here of late to a fearful
extent. For the last three weeks, from ten to
fifty or sixty fatal cases each day has been re
ported I should add that the Pahl Killer, Bent
recently from the Mission House, has been used
with considerable success during this epidemic.
If taken in season is-generally effectual in check
ing the disease.
Rev. CHARLES HARDINIG.
Sholapore, India.
[From the Portland MonlhlyJ
Summer Complaint and Dysentery.
Bowel c'HHplaintrt seotu jtiat now to be the
prevailing clement, and uoy medicine that i«
every where acceptable, and that ijj reliable, in a
very demrablc* acquisition. From what we have
seen, heard, and experienced, we believe Davis’
Pain Killer is this deshleretom- 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 molutteeH, in
equal pane, stirred well together, Ict-neu the dose
for children, according to the age. If the pain be
severe, bathe the bowels and buck with tlie medl
ey no. This inode of treatment is good in cases of
the cholera morbus, sudden stoppages, etc. Re
peat the dose c very hour.
“The quickest way I ever saw the ilysentery
cured was by taking one spoonful of the Pain
Killer in one gill of milk and molasses stirred
x\*ell together and drank hot, at the same time
bathing the bowels freely 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 themselves with a, bottle
of this medicine, and use as occasion required, we
believe a great amount of .suffering ami sickness
would be saved. jcl2—‘ini
