aYeHEADAcBE is the favorite sign by which na- ture makes known any deviation whatever from the natural state of the brain, and viewed in this light it may be looked on safeguard intended to give notice of disease which might otherwise escape attention, till too late to be remedied; and its indications should never be neglected. Heacs aches may be classified under two names, viz :: Symptomatic and Idiopathic. Symptomatic Head ache is exceedingly common and is the precursor of great variety of diseases, among which are Apoplexy, Gout Rheumatism and all febrile dis eases. In it's nervous form it is sympathetic of disease of the stomach constituting sick heddachs, of heptic disease constituting BILIOUS HEADACHE, of worms, constipation and other disorders of the bowels, as we'll as renal and uterine affections. Diseases of the heart arc very frequently attended with Headaches; Anamia and plethora arc also affections which frequently occasion headache Idiopathic Headache is also very common, being usually distinguished by the name of NERVOUS HEADACHE, sometimes coming on suddenly in state of apparently sound health and prostrating at once the mental and physical energies, and in other instances it comes on slowly, heralded by depression of spirits or acerbity of temper In most instances the pain is in the front of the head over one orboth eyes, and sometimes provoking vom- iting; under this class may also be named NEU- RALGIA.
 For the treatment of either class of Headache the Cephalic Pills have been found sure and safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains in a few minutes, and by its subtle power eradicating the diseases of which Headacne is the unerring index

MER1cA AN & FOREIGN PATENTS

MD H. EDDY, Solicitor of Patents, date EAs Agent of the U. S. Patent Office, Wash ington, under the Act of 1887 )-76 State St., opposite kilbySt., Boston.
 After an extensive practice of upwards oftwens ty years, continues to secure Patents in the United States; also in Great Britain, France, and other foreign countries. Caveats, Speciiica- tions, Assignments, and all Papers or Drawings for Patents executed in liberal terms, and with despatch Researches made into American or Foreign works, to determine the validity or util- ity of Patents or Inventions-and legal or oth- CT advice rendered in all matters touching the same. Copies of the claims of any Patent furn- ished by remitting One Dollar. Assignments recorded at Washington.
 This Agency is not only the largest in New England, but drought inventors have advan- tages for securing patents, or ascertalhlng the patcntabilty of inventions, unsurpassed by. if not immessurably superior to, any that can be offered them elsewhere. The testimonials be low given, prove that none is MORE SUCCESSFUL AT TIE PATENT OFFICE than the subscriber; and as SUCCESS IS THE BEST PROOF OF ADVANTAGES OR ABILITY, he would add that he has abundant reason to believe, and can prove, that at no oth- CT office of the kind are the charges for profes. sional services so moderate. The immense prac- tice of the subscriber during twenty years past, has enabled him to accumulate vast collection of specifications and official decisions relative to patents These, besides his extensive library of legal and mechanical works, and full accounts of patents granted in the United Statcf and Eu- rope, render him able, beyond question, to of- fer superior facilities for obtaining patents.
 All necessity of 6 journey to Washington, to procure patent, and the usual great delay there, are here saved inventors.
 TESTIMONIALS.
 1T regard MT. Eddy as one of the most capabie and succeysful practitioners with whom have had official intercourse CIIAS MASON,'
 Commissioner of Patents. "I have no hesitation in assuring Invcnsors that they cannot employ person more conpetenI and tyusf~o,My, and more capable of putting their applications in a form to secure for them an early and favorable consideration at the Pa tent Office. EDMUND BURKE
 late Commissioner of Patents.
 ' BosToN, February 8, 185S "Mr. R. H. Eddy has made for me THIRTEEN applications, on all but ONE ofwhich patents have been granted, and that one is nom pending Such unmistakalle proof of great talent and ability on his part leads me to recommend all inventors to apply to him procure their patents. and they may be sure of paving the most faithful attcn- ton bestowed on their cases, and at very reason able charges.
 From Sept. 17th, 1857 to June 17th, 1858, the subscriber in course of his large practice, made, on trice rejected applications, SIXTEEN APPEALS, EVERY ONE of which was decided in has favor, by the Commissioner of Patents:
