jury empanneled to try the same, the con
sideration of the debt or contract which
may be the subject of the suit, the amount
and value of the property owned by the
debtor at the time the debt was contracted,
or the contract entered into to show upon
the faith of what property credit was given
to him, and what tender or tenders of pay
ment he made to the creditors at any time,
and that the non-payment of the debt or
debts was owing to the refusal of the
creditor to receive the money tendered or
offered to be tendered ; the destruction or
loss of the property upon the faith of which
the credit was given, and how and in what
manner the property was destroyed or lost,
and by whose default.

trial, upon the same conditions as are con

the judgment according to the equities of
each case, and render such verdict as to
them shall appear equitable and just; and

UNITED STATES AND FOREIGN
PATENT AGENCY.
* 189 Broadway, New York.
Messrs. BROWN, COOMBS fc CO., Proprie
tors of the AMERICAN ARTISAN, oiler their
best services to inventors, as Solicitors of Ameri
can and Foreign Patents Mr. HenryT.Brown.
of this linn, lias had more than ZweaZy-Zwo years'
expel ience in that profession, both in this country
and Europe, aud his long practice bus made
him personally known to thousands of inven
tors mid patentees. The applications for the
patents upon many of tho greater and more im
portant in veutions olt lie present century have been
prepared by him. Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co.,
are thoroughly familiar with all the rules and re
gulations instituted for the rapid transaction of
business with the United States Patent Office, aud
the general practice in the Patent Bureaus of vari
ous European countries; mid this knowledge ren
ders them confident that their post experience, with
their present uueqnflled facilities, euajiles them to
elaborately and yet speedily prepare all the docu
ments required by law in applications for patents,
and to promise tlieir clients an absolute certainty
of success'™ theiijetlorts for
inventions that ate really new and useful. Parti
cular carois given to the execution of the accurate
drawings which must always accompany every
application for a patent, and they employ none but
the most, efficient draughtsmen. The best evidence
of t-ho manner iu which Messrs. Brown, Coombs
te Co.'s business is perfmnicd, is, that the “Amer
ican Artisan Patent Agency,” during the three
years of its existence, lias been the most successful
institution of the kind ever established.
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. 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 temporality so
journing iu the metropolis are invited to visit thin
establishment. Injl he majority of instance no 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
aknowledge of his invention as will enable Messrs.
Brown, Coombs & Co. to definitely determine
wbetbera machine or process is new or old —paten
table or not. The office hours are from 9 a.m.
to 5 r. m.
Messrs. Brown, Coombs & Co. are prepared to
furnish to persons residing nt a distance from New
York —free of charge— written opinions as to
whether inventions contain any features of paten
table novelty; to do this they simply require 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 are formed from their own mature exper
ience; but if 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 will make a special
searclqamong 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’tabor the small fee of
$5 is payable in advance; and the remittance
should be accompanied by a sketch of the invention
and a few lines of writing describing the same,
and distinctly stating those points of noveltv which
the inventor desires to have protected by Lettors-
Patent.
Patents for new and useful inventions are now
§ ranted for the term of seventeen ykahs The
rstiustalment ofjtlie Govemmenv lee is sls, which
sum—together with fifty cents revenue stamp tax
on the power-of attorney—is payable tn advance,
on applying for (he patent; and additional arc
due to the Government when the Letters-Patent are
allowed. The Agency fee is from $25 upward, ac
cording to the labor involved; but m all cases our
charges will he as moderate as possible in the pre
pa ration of drawings and all necessary documents.
This fee is not payable until after the appiicutioii
has been prepared ami the rase is ready to be sent,
to Washington. Messrs. Brown. Coombs & Co.
have a branchia Washington so that nil applica
tions made through them can have every uecessu-y
attention in their passage through the Patent Office
Inventors applying for patents must, furnish
models of their 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. Each of these should be marked with the in
ventor's name, then carefully boxed, and sent (by
express, prepaid), together with the first instalmen
oftbe Government fee, to Messrs Brown, Coombs
&. Co. When the model is small and light, it can
be conveniently and cheaply sentby mwi'Z The
model must not exceed one foot in any of itsdinicns
ions, unless it is of such a character that it is im
practicable.
Patents, except those for designs, are granted
on eqpal terms to citizens and all foreigners except
inhabitants of Canada and some others of the
British American Provinces.
Besides puteuts or new and u.-ifu, inventions,
there are also granted patents for resigns.
Design-patents are not now, as formerly, limited
strictly to ornamental configuration ; but under
Section 11 of tlie Act of March 2. 1861, any new
form ofanvnrtich'.orany imyirassioa otjigurc upon
the surface of any article or material, by whatever
means or process produced, can be patented. Un
der this Act, patentees are eiftitled to the exten
sion of their respective patents for the term of seven
years from the day on which said patents shall ex
pire, upon the same terms and restrictions ns are
now provided for the extensions of Letters Patent.
Among the numerous subjects foi patents of this
class may be particularly mentioned —castings of
all metals, pails of machines, household fmnitnre
and utensils; glassware, hardware of all kinds,
cornices,and other interior aud exterior decor .lions
of buildings; also, designs for woven ami printed
fabrics, dress and upholstery trimmings, and har
ness labels and trade marks for medicines, per
fumery, and all preparations, compositions, or
merchandi e, put up in bottles, boxes, or other
packages, are suitable subjects; also, the forms ol
such bottles, boxes, or packages themselves, :pid
envelopes, likewise all works of art, as statuary,
busts, compositions in alto or basso-relievo. The

granted to American citizensor to aliens who have

qualifications for such business, it need only be
stated that Mr. Brown has had the prepara
tion of more European applications than any
othei person in this country, Messrs. Brown,
Coombs & Co., besides having a branch office in
Washington, have their own agencies in the
prificipal capitals of Europe. A circular relating
to foreign patent business will be furnished free

p EAD THE FOLLOWING LETTER FjfOM
i URev. R." Telford. Missionary in China, now
visiting his home in Pennsylvania:
Washington, Pa., June2s, 1866
Messrs. Perry Davis <fc Son, Providence, R. 1.:
Dear Sira —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.
In administering the medicine, I found it most
effectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot water sweetened with sugar; then,
after about fifteen minutes, Ix-giu to give a table
spoonful of 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, aud took the medicine faith
fully in the way stated above, eight wut of teu
recovered. Yours, f riuv.
r Telford.
If an attack with Diirrhma, Dysentery, or
Cramp Colic, don't, delay the use of the Piiin
Killer. Sold by al! medteino dealers. Price, 25
cents, 50 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 eery
valuable medicine, and always keen it on hand.
I have travelled a good deal since I have been in
Kansas, and never without taking it with me,
In my practice I ured it freely for the Asiatic
Cholera, in 1819, and with better success than any
other medicine ; 1 also used it here for cholera iu
1855, with tho same good result.
Truly, yours, A HUNTING, Ji. D.
' Swato, China.
Cholcia I » * * I regret to say that the
cholera has prevailed here of late to a fearful
extent. For the last three weeks, from tell to
filly or sixty fatal cases each day has been re
ported. I should add that the Pain Killer, sent
recently from the Mission House, has been used
with considerable success during this epidemic.
II taken in '-a.-'.ii is generally etj'eclual in check
ing the disease.

Summer Complaint and Dysentery.
Bowel cotnjitainta aeem .just now to be the
prevailing element, and any medicine that is
every where acceptable, and that is reliable, ia a
very dot>iruble acquisition. From what we have
Keen, heard, ami experienced, we believe Davis'
Pain Killer is this deai<h*ratiim. For the be«*
method of fining it, we quote from the directions:
“Fnr common bowel complaints, give one tea-
Kpoontul in a gill of new milk and molaßacs, in
equal purts, stirred well together ; lesfiea the dose
lor children, according to the age. If the pain be
severe, bathe the bowels and back with the medi
cine. This mode of treatment is good in cases of
the cholera morbus, sudden stoppages, etc. Re
peat the dose every hour.
“The quickest way 1 ever saw the dysentery
cured was by taking one apoouful of the Pain
Killer m one gill of milk and mobiles stirred
well together and drank hot, at tbe same limp
bathing the bowels freely with medicine Let
the dose be repeated every hour until the patient
is relieved.”
If every person who has teason to fear tbi-p
disease would provide themselves with a bottle
of this medicine, and use as occasion re<|iiire(l, we
believe a great, amount, of suffering and sickneHH
would be saved.
