Our Fees.

We call attention 10 the follow
ing extract from the last report of
the Com missioner of Patents:
"When establishments are or
ganized for the purpose of procur-
ing patents, they are apt to become
more solicitions about the number
than the quality of those which
they obtain. This tendency is ag-
gravated by those who solicit pat
ents upon contingent fees, or who.
without special training or qualifi-
cations, adopt this business as an
incident to a claim agency, and
press for patents as they press for
back pay and pensions. Such men
are often more DESTROYS Of obtain
ing a patent of any kind, and by
any means, than they are Of obtain
ing one which shall be of any value
to their clients. Inventors are
often poor, uneducated, and lack
ing in legal knowledge. They de-
sire a cheap solicitor, and do not
know how to choose q good one.
The yare pleased with the parch
ment and the seal, and are not
themselves able to judge Of the
scope Or value of the grant
Honest and skillful solicitors,
with thorough knowledge Of the
practice of the office, and of pat
ent law, and who are able and will
ing to advise their clients as to the
exact value of the patents which
they can obtain for them, may be
of much service to inventors
There are many such, but those
who care for nothing but to give
them som sthing called q patent,
that they may secure their own fee,
have in too many instances proved
a curse. To get rid of tt cir client
and of trouble, they have some.
times been content to take less
than he was entitled to, while in
many cases they have, with much
self laudation, presented him with
the shadow, when the substance
was beyond his reach"
With the class thus denounced, we do not
propose 20 compete, buto long experience
in the patent Office and the courts, has. we re-
spectfuiiy submit, given us such facilities for
the transaction of business, that we can Of
fer our services for fees as low as any reputa-
bic practitioners can afford to charge and
lar below what any competent persons can
affoi d, who have yet to famiiariZe themselves
with the enormous and constantly increasing
mass of American and foreign patents. We
charge no more than fair remuneration. We

cases, our charge is $40, which covers all our
fees before the Examiner and the Board of
Examiners in chief. Exceptionally difficult
cases must be made a matter of special ar
rangement. Our fee is not conditional. We
cannot afford to work for nothing. But we
rarely fail to get patent after favorable
report ON preliminary examination. The
Commissioners report shows that about %
per cent. of the applications made in 1869,
were finally rejected. Of cases filed by US
during that year, less than 4 per cent. were
thus rejected.

The result in Indiana will make that
State sharply contested battlefield in
1872, rs it was in 1868. The Republi-
cans will by no means despair Of carry
ing it. On the contrary. we believe they
will thoroughly rouse themselves to the
WORK, and again win the victory. The
slight Democratic gain this year. howev-
or, is favorable to the Presidential aspi-
rations of Senator Hendricks, while the
heavy Democratic losses in Ohio will
possibly prove fatal to the hopes Of Sem

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.

s'The life Of tho flesh is in the blood" is a
Scriptural maxim that Science proves to be
true. The people talk OF bad blood as the
cause OF many diseases, and, like many popu-
lar opinions, this Of bad blood is founded in
truth.
The symptoms OF bad blood are usually
quite plain. Bad digestion causes imperfect
nutrition, and, consequently, the circulation
is feeble, the soft tissues lose their tone and
elasticity, and the tongue becomes pale,
broad and frequently covered with pasty
white coat. This condition soon shows itself
In roughness Of tho skin, then In EnUPTIyE and
uLcEnAT1yE diseases, and, when long conti-
nued, results in serious LESSONS Of the Brain
Liver. Lungs OF Urinary Apparatus. Much,
blood. It is estimated by some that one-iifth
of the human family are affected with Scrofula
in some form.
When the Blood is pure, you are not so liable
to any disease. Many impurities Of tho Blood
arise. from impure diseases OF large cities.
Eradicate every impurity from the fountain Of
life, and good spirits, fair skin aud vital
strength will return to you.

Diseases of Nervous System,

Almost nine-tenths of our peo pie suffer from
nervous exhaustion, and are, therefore, liable
to it's concomitant evils of mental de PRECISION,
confused ideas, sof ening Of the brain, iDsani-
~, and complete breaking down Of the general
health. Thousands are suffering to -day with
broken. down nervous systems, and, unfortu-
nhtcly, tobacco, alcohol, late hours, over-work,
tmental and physically arc causing diseases
OF tho nervous system to increase at a fearful
ratio.
The symptoms to which diseases OF the per-
'vous system give rise, may be stated as fol.
lows: dull, heavy feoling in the head, some
Periodical Headache, Dizziness, Noises or
Ringing in tho Head; Confusion OF Ideaa;
Temporary Loss. of Memory; Detection OF

DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER.

Persona unacquainted with the structure
and functions OF the Kidneys, cannot estimate
the importance Of their healthy action.
Regular and sufficient action OF the Kidneys
ls as important, nay, even more 80, than regu-
larity of the bowels. The Kidneys remove
from tho Blood those effete matters which, if
permitted PEI to remain, would. speedily destroy
life. total suspension Of the urinary dis
charges will occasion death from thirty ak tc
forty-eight hours.
Whom the Urine is voided in small auanti-
ties at the time, or when there is disposition
to Urinate more frequently than natural or
when the Urine is high colored or scalding.
with weakness in the small Of the back, it
should not be trifled with or delayed, but
Koskoo should be taken at onoe to remedy the
difficulty. before a lesion of tho organs takes
place. Most of the diseases OF tho Bladder
originate from those Of the Kidneys, the Urine
being imperfectly secreted in the Kidneys,
prove irritating to the Bladder and Urinary
passages. When we recolect that medicine
never reaches the Kidneys except through the
general circulation OF the Blood, we see how
necessary it is to keep the Fountain OF Life
Pure.

THE WEATHER.-An sold sea captain" pro-
phecies cold weather to continue during Feb
ruary. He bases his prophecy on the fact that
the moons last change occurred In the morning.
in Providence, X. l., predicts that there viii be
no ice, because when February comes In with
only slight skmming over the ponds, he has
but little faith in the after crop. This sets the
editors Of the Providence journal to moralizing
on the inconvenience next summer OF slim
ice crop, and they sum up their lamentations
over the fear that they will have no "sprouting
julep, smelling of nepenthe and crushed mint"
which decoction they class under the head of
.green vegetables" They have queer names
for things in Rhode Island.
