Lucius T. Sheffield, dentist, has tri-
umphed. He patented the process
known as bridge work" in 1881. He
patented the process, and then he sold
to dentists the right to bridge teeth
for $25 a year and Is per cent. of their
receipts. At first dentists decried the
new process. But in spite of their op-
position the invention grew in popular
ity, and his income from his royalties
became fortune. The dentists of New
York state alone paid him $4,000 in
one year.
Finding that teeth-wearers insisted
on having bridges the dentists of the
country organized for the purpose of
proving that DR.. Sheffield's patents
were invalid. They retained high
priced lawyers to fight their cause in
the courts. Long litigation was the
result.
Two cases were decided against him.
and for the last few years he has re-
ceived nothing from his royalties and
licenses. But victory has come at last.
Judge Townsend, of the appellate
court, has rendered decision in the
case of DIR. Sheffield against Dentist
Howard o. Kyle. The decision declares
that DIR. Sheffield's patent is valid.
The patent has now expired, so that
in the future DR.. Sheffield can collect
no royalties, but every dentist who has
infringed on his patent since 1881,
when it was issued, will have to pay
him at his own price.
"The amount due me-" said DR..
Sheffield, 'is nearly SS,000,000. OF
course, don't expect to realize any
thing like that sum, but do expect to
receive enough to make me comfortably
rich for the rest of my life"

The ladies of tho Columbian Club
wish to call the attention of the people
of Audubon to lecture course to be
given this winter. The program is as
follows: Lecture, "Buttoned up Peo-

by DIR. James Hedley, March 10; "Harp
of the Senses" by John Denote, Apr.4
Much thought has been given to the adj
visibility of having course of lectures
in Audubon; after due consideration
and having been urged and promised
support, tho Columbian Club has taken
upon itself the work, which it considers
educational. 1t is no money making
scheme, but the ladies feel that the re.
ceipts must pay all expenses, which will
be over $3.50. This course will intro
duce to our town some OF the best lee.
turers in the United States and it will
indeed be great mistake if all who can
do not avail themselves of this rare op
portunity. The Club feelsassured thai
the numbers will be highly satisfactory
but it must have the hearty co-opera
ton of the citizens il the course be on
tirely successful. 1t must be borne in
mind that il these lectures are not sue
cessful in a financial way it will be Q
long time before any like attempt will b'
made. Therefore the ladies solicit you'
hearty support and ask you to remember
that this work is not taken up for the
benefit of the Club, but for the socia
and intellectual Improvement OF thu
town.
