AMERICAN AND FOREIGN PATENTS. R. H. EDDY, SOLICITOR OF PATENTS,

For Inventions, Trade Marks, or Designs, No. 76 STATE ST., OPPOSITE KILBY ST., BOSTON. A FTER an extensive practice of upwards of A thirty years, continues to secure Patents in the United States; also in Great Britain, France and other foreign countries. Caveats, Specified tions, Assignments and all papers for Patents ex- ecuted on reasonable terms with dispatch. Re- searches made to determine the validity and utii- ty of Patents of Inventions, and legal and other advice rendered in all matters touching the same Copies of the claims of any patent furnished by remitting one dollar Assignments recorded in Washington.
 No Agency in the United States possesses supe- rior facilities for obtaining Patents, or ascertain ing the patentability of inventions.
 All necessity of 8 journey to Washington to pro- cure patent, and the usual great delay there are here saved inventors.
 TESTIMONIALS.
 F1 regard Mr. Eddy as one of the most success full practitioners with whom have had official in tefcourse. ..f
 CHARLES MASON, Commissioner of Patents s1 have no hesitation in assuring inventors that trustworthy, and more capable of putting tEoir ap plications in form to secure for them an early and favorable consideration at the Patent Office
 EDMUND BURKE,
 Late Commissioner of Patents MT R. H. Eddy has made for me over THIRTY applications for Patents, having been successful in almost every case. Such unmistakable proof of great talent and ability on his part, leads me to recommend all inventors to apply to him to pro- cure their patents, as they may be sure of having the most faithful attention bestowed on their ca ses, and at very reasonable charges

Dr. J. Walkers California Yin. egar BitterS are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the1o ranges of the Sier- ra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal properties of which are extract ed therefrom without the use of Alcohol.

Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
BY its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair q splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, Md, State
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, 1.-THE
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and I
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"
