many years doctors pronounced II
a local disease, and prescribed
local remedies. and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be consti-

quires constitutional treatment.

The Press Claims Company devotcs muct
attention to patents. 1t has handled thous
nnds of applications for inventions, but II
would like TO handle thousands more. fhcrt
is plenty of inventive talent in this country
needing nothing but c o ra ID On
to produce practical results. That enco"r
srclncnt the Press Claims Company pro
poses to give -
NOT so HARD As 1T SEEMsr
A patent strikes most people as an appall
ingly formidable thing. The idea is thaI y a. ar
inventor must be a natural genius, ike E.l
son or Bell that he must put years 10 oclV'hs
in complicated mechanical problems ana
tl,at he must spend fortune OH delicate ex
pcrimcnis before he can get new uevice 10
a patentable degree OF perfection. Ihls ue-
lus,on the company desires to dlspcl IL dc'
sircs to get into the head of the public clear
comnrchcnsion of tho fact that 1t is not inc
great, complex, and expensive inventions
ihat bring the best returns to their authors
Int the little, simple, and cheap ones-the
things that seem so absurdly trivial that the
citizen would feel somewhat ashamed OF
bringing them to the attention OF inc fa'eh'
Office.
Edison says that the prOnls he ii''s leocl.."
from the patents on all his marvellous 'hvcn.
tions have not been sufficient topay the cost
of his experiments But the man who ,,o con.
ceiycd the idea of fastening a bit OF rubber
cord to clld's ball, so that it would come
back to his hand when thrown made lor-
tune out of his scheme. The modern sew
inc.machine is miracle OF ingenuly-the
product of the toll Of hundreds OF busy bralns
through a hundred and fifty years, put 'ne
whole brilliant result rests upon Ihe sln'ple
device of putting the eye OF inc neco'c AZ 'ne
point instead of the other end.

Patents
Notice to Inventors.

There was never time in the history OF
our country when the demand for inventions
and improvements in the arts and sciences
generally was so great as now. The con-
veniences OF mankind IN the factory and
work shop, the household, on the farm, and
in official life, require continual acccsslOns
to the appurtenances and implements to each
in order to sayc labor, time ard expense
The political change in the administration
of government does not affect the progress
OF the American inventor, who beng on the
alert, and ready to perceive the existing
deficiencies, does not permit the affairs of
government to deter him from quickly con.
eeiyng the remedy to overcome existing
discrepancies. Too great care cannot be
exercised in choosing competent and skill
full attorney to prepare and prosecute an
application tor patent Valuable Interests
have been lost and destroyed in lnnumerablc
instances by the employment Of incompc-
tent counsel, and especially IS this advice
applicable to those who adopt the "No pat
ent, no pay" system. Inventors who cntrust
their business to this class Of attorneys do
80 at imminent risk, as the breadth and
strength Of the patent is never considered IN
view Of quick endcavor to get an allowance
and obtain the fee then due. THE PRESS
CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wcddcrburn,
General Manager, 6lS F street, N. w., Wash
ingtop, d. c., representing large number
ofimportant daily and weekly papers, as
we'll as general periodicals Of the country,
was instituted to protect its patrons from
tho unsafe methods heretofore employed in
this line of business. The said Company is
prepared to take charge ofall patent business
entrusted to 1t for reasonable fees, and pre-.
parcs and prosecutcs applications generally
including mechanical inyentions design pat
erts, trade marks, labels, copyrights, inter.
fcrences, infrngements, validity reports, and
gryes especial attention to rejected cases
It is also prepared to enter into competition
with any firm in securing foreign patents

No Blanks in this Competition.


This is a competition Of rather an unusual
nature 1t IS common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan
all the competitors risking the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount Of the prize But the
Press Claims Companys offer is something
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 a
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing 1t. The architect whose com.
octitive plan for club house on a certain
corner is not accepted has spent his labor on
,methng of very little use to him But the
erson who patents simple and useful de-.
rice in the Press Claims Companp's Compe-
t,tion, need not worry if he fail to secure The
prize. He has substantial result TO show
for his work-one that viii command its val.
ue in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to M
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the rid of the idea that an
improvemcnt can be too SIMPLE to be worth
patenting TIE sinblcr the better. The
DersOn who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the Press
Claims Company's twenty five hundred dol
lars.
The responsibility Of this company may be
Judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading ncwspa,
pcrs of the United States.
