Examination Free to All.


Although the doctor is in many cases
compelled 10 use expensive instruments
and chemicals in making analyses, micro
scopio and other scientific examinations,
yet he makes no charges to anyone, belieN
ing It to be part of the physicians duty
to ascertain the patients true condition
without expense to the sufferer. When
ever and wherever DR.. Humphrey decides
to locate a monthly visit crowds flock to
see him. and no wonder, for by the first ex-
animation, and often without asking a
question, he tells the invalid what the
trouble is, and the prospect of a cure, and
most wonderful Of all he values his first
impression and first look at a patient more
than all else, and DIR. Humphrey Is never
mistaken in his diagnosis in any case.
The doctors methods differ markedly
from the general practitioner in all re-
spects. Following the plan of st. Georges
Hospital of London, he registers every
particular as to the patients physical con-
dition and mental state. The condition of
each organ, location of any and all dis
eased parts. and whether sympathetic or
organic, together with the amount and
nature of the disease. In this way the en-
tire amount OF vital energies are readily
computed and the restoring power of the
BODY measured agulnsC tne iorce anu en-
ergy and destructive capabilities of the dis
ease Thus knowing the actual condition
Of the tissues and the effect or specific
medicines upon every structure of the
body, unlike most doctors, he is enabled to
say positively whether any given case IL
durable or not, and can also give the APP
proximate time and expense of treatment,
and would here point out the utter de-
fusion cherished by many patients that
they ought to get well I'm a few days or

patent strikes most people as an appall
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be natural genius like Edi-

delving in complicated mechanical problems

experiments before he can get anew device to
a patcntable degree of perfection. This delu-

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the con petitors risking the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is sonnet hing
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only q
stimulus to do something thar would be
well worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for club house on a
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something of very little use to
him But the person who patent simple and
useful device in the Press Claims COmpany's
competition, need not worry If he fail to Sc
cure the prize. He has substantial result to
show for his work-One that will command its
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article In his
daily work ought to know better how to i'm
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
mept can be too simple TO be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds In combining simplicity and pOpu-
Iarity, will get the Press Claims Company's
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
JUDGED from the fact that it's stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

Children Over Six Hundred Years \ go.

Somebody has unearthed a book writ
ten by Bartholomew Anglicus about
1860, of which one of the most amusing
chapters is on the children Of his day.
Of these he writes: They dread no
perils more than beating with rod, and
they love an apple more than gold and
make more sorrow and woe for the loss
of an apple than for the loss of heri-
tage. They desire all that they see and
pray and ask with voice and with hand.
They keep no counsel, but they tell all
that they hear and see. Suddenly they
laugh, and suddenly they weep. Always
they cry and jangle and jape; that I'M
meth they be still while they sleep. When
they be washed of filth, anon they defile
themselves again. When their mother
washeth and combeth them, they kick
and sprawl and put with feet and with
hands, and withstand with all their
might" All of which sounds very mod
ern and up to date.

A TEMPTING OFFER.

To induce people to keep track of their
bright ideas and sec what there is in them,
the Press Claims Company has resolved TO
offer price.
To the person who submits to it the sim
pliest and most promising invention, from
a commercial point of view, the company will
give twenty-five hundred dollars in cash, in
addition TO refunding the fees for securing
the patent.
1t will also advertise the invention free of
charge.
This offer is subject to the following con-
ditiOns:
Every competitor must obtain patent for
his invention through the company. He
must first apply for preliminary search,
the cost of which will be five dollars.
Should this search show bis invention to be
unpatentable, he can withdraw without fur
Their expense. otherwise he will be expected
to complete his application and take out a
patent in I he regularway. The total expense,
including Government and Bureau fees, will
be seventy dollars. For this, whether he
secures the prize or not, the inventor will
have a patent that ought to be a valuable
property to him. This prize will be awarded
by Jury consisting of three reputable patent
attorneys of Washington. Intending COM
petitors should fill out the following blank,
