The immense practice of the subscriber during twenty years past, has enabled him to accumulate . vast collection Of specifications and official decis- ions relative to Patents.
 These, besides his extensive library of legal and mechanical works, and full accounts of patents granted in the United States anl Eu- rope, render him able beyond question, to of- fer superior facilities for obtaining Patents.

 CERTIFICATE,
 This is to certify that, about eigb teen months ago, commenced using STERLING AMBRosIA. My hair was short, thin, and rap idly falling out. I had tried many Hail Tonics, Invigorators. &c., without receiving any benefit Soon after using the Ambi esa my hair ceased falling out and commenced growing so rapidly as to astonish me. Now my hair is thick, soft and glossy, and is five feet and four inches in length-when let down reaching to the floor. This wonderful result attribute solely to the use of STERLING AMBRosIA, as since 1 commenced using it ] have applied nothing else to my hair.
 Mrs. L. A. BROWN,
 No. 439 Broadway, New York. We advise young persons, whose hair is be ginning to fall out, to take warning in time and save their hair, by using the Ambrosia To these who have already lost their hair, the free use of the Ambresia will surely restore it as it has done for thousands.
 Dr. Sterling's Ambrosia is a stimulating oily extract of Roots, Barks and Herbs. Il will cure all diseases of the scalp, and itching of the head; entirely eradcates dandruff pre- vents the hair from falling out, or from turn. ing prematurely gray, causing it to grow tbick and long. It is entirely different from all other preparations, and can be relied on.
 It is a we'll known fact to thousands in the city of New York that this is the only article yet discovered that will cure the Disease of the Scalp and cause the Hair to grow.
