For Inventions, Trade Marks, or Designs. No. 76 STATE ST., OPPOSITE KnBY ST., Bosrox. 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.

Re- searches made to determine the validity and utli- ty of Patents of Inventions, and legal and other advice rendered in all matters touching tlse 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 journey to Washington to pro- cure patent and the usual great delay there, are here saved inventors.

 CHARLES MASON, Commissioner of Patents. " "1 have no hesitation in assuring inventors that trustworthy and more capable of putting thair ap- pIlcatiOns 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 Ill 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

gloss aud freshness of yoath. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and badness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are de- stroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed; but such as remain can be saved by this application, and stimu- lated into activity, so that a new growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi- ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling of, and consequently prevent badness. The restoration of vitality it gives to the scalp arrests and prevents the forma- tion of dandruff, which is often so un- cleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and inju- rious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it.. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy lustre, and grateful perfume.
