A Novel Combination of Medicinal Ingredients for Alleviating and
Curing Gout and similar Complaints, also Fevers, especially
Malarious Fevers.
I, DAVID NAPIER, of Johannesburg Transvaal, Africa, General Merchant,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is
to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement: -
This invention has for object, the employment of known medicinal ingredients,
and the admixture of them in or about certain proportions for the relief and in
many instances cure of fevers of all kinds, especially malarious, swamp, and
kindred fevers which are so dangerous to human life.
The mixture, as powders, can be administered at any time, and are applicable
in all cases of lowness of the system, swellings, such as those arising from gouty
and rheumatic complaints, ague, and similar disorders, which as a rule produce
feverish heat from poorness of the blood.
For the purpose of my invention, I take say;-
1. Calomel
2. Turkey opium
3. Sulphate of potash
4. Ipecacuanha
5. Sulphate of quinine
6. Turkey rhubarb
7. Powder jalap
The effect of the above compound is as follows:-
--
No. 1. Stimulant for the liver and system generally.

No. 2. Acts as retainer of the whole compound in the system until all foul and
putrified matter has been collected.
Nos. 3 and 4. Act in concert with No. 2 becomes both anodyne and sudorific.
No. 5. Tonic.
Nos. 6 and 7, acting in concert with No. 1 is purgative and expels the whole
matter after going through the regular course of operation.
The above mixture can be kept for any length of time and is not subject while
in a dry condition to become deteriorated by climatic changes.
The quantity of the mixture to form a powder for an adult, may vary slightly
according to age and constitution but as a rule powders of 15 to 50 grains will
have a beneficial effect.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The combination of medicinal ingredients, as hereinbefore mentioned in or
about the proportions stated, and their employment in powder form as a means for
alleviating and curing malarious, swamp, also other high and low fevers in general
in the human body, also local fever, such as gout, rheumatic, and the like, also
ague, as set forth.

An Improvement in the Manufacture of Sensitive Plates or Films
for Photographic Purposes.
FRANCIS WILLIAM EDWARDS, of 87 Bellenden Road, Peckham Rye, S.E.,
Photographer, and HARRY RANSOM, of 122 Newington Butts, S.E., Photographer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
Our invention relates to an improvement in the manufacture of sensitive plates
for photographic purposes, and its object is to give a grain, stipple, or line to the
pictures printed therefrom, and also to diminish the liability to halation and
solarization (or reversal of the image), which are incidental to photographic plates
prepared in the ordinary way.
By employing plates made according to our invention, it is possible to produce
photographs in which the subject appears as a series of fine lines or dots, instead of
the usual flat tones, thus obtaining in the one operation of printing the special
character required for photo-mechanical reproductions.
Our invention consists in giving to the surface of the sensitive film, or its support
a series of fine lines or dots, by any of the ordinary printing or stencilling methods,
preferably by a specially prepared roller, or a perforated plate. These lines or
dots, consisting of a suitable medium, will thus allow the action of the light on the
sensitive parts only, and hence the resulting negative will appear as a series of fine
lines or dots.
By this method of graining the negative, with a medium easily removable, in
whole, or in part, after development, the light and shade of the print can be
modified as required.
This lining or graining of the sensitive surface will also have a tendency to break
up the rays of light reflected from the surface of the support of the sensitive
medium, and thus prevent halation or solarization.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
The preparation of sensitive photographic plates or films, with a grained, dotted,
stippled, or lined surface, such lining or stippling consisting of any suitable medium
applied by any mechanical or other method.

An Improved Device for Opening Ball-stoppered Bottles.
I, WILLIAM FLETCHER of the Drury Lowe Arms Inn, Smithy Houses, Denby
in the County of Derby, Hotel Keeper, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner-the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of my invention is to provide a simple and effective means of opening
ball-stoppered bottles and at the same time to protect the hands and person of the
operator in case the bottle should burst.
In order that my invention may be the more readily understood I have caused
to be annexed to this Specification a sheet of drawings, the figures and letters of
reference marked upon which will be hereafter referred to.
Figure 1. being a vertical section on line "a" "a" of Figure 2, the latter being
a plan looking upwards.
I form my improved device preferably of any suitable kind of sheet metal, such
as copper, brass, zinc or tin or of some suitable metallic composition, of a truncated
cone shape, the sides and top being preferably constructed without openings so as
to minimise the danger of cutting the hand when a bottle bursts.
The cap A is placed on and turned down over the sides B and soldered or other-
wise fastened down thereto, the spigot C being first soldered or secured thereon.
I may provide a rubber ring or seating D round the spigot if desired, and for
the better exit of the gas I may construct or arrange to have a projecting rib or
the like as shewn by dotted lines at E to keep the top of the bottle away from the
underside of the cap (or I may do without either the rubber ring or rib in the
simplest form of device).
The sides B are turned back at the bottom edge F round a wire G.
Instead of being constructed as above I may have the whole cast in one or more
pieces.
It is evident that I may vary the shape, section or size of my improved device
to suit the different purposes for which it is required as I may also vary the
material of which it is constructed.
It will be seen that when this device is placed upon the ball-stoppered bottle
the spigot C falls upon the ball and when pressure is applied the bottle is opened
with perfect safety to the operator, in case the bottle should burst.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
The improved device for opening ball-stoppered bottles constructed or cast as
described herein and substantially as illustrated by the accompanying sheet of
drawings.

Improvements in the Finishing of Looped or Knitted Fabrics.
I, BENJAMIN JOSEPH BARNARD MILLS, of 23 Southampton Buildings, in the
County of Middlesex, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion, (a communication to me from Messrs. Beer & Co. of Leignitz in the
Empire of Germany, Manufacturers), and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
Hitherto stockinette and other like looped or knitted fabrics made on warp
frames or on double rib, circular or other kinds of knitting machines, have been
made with fancy designs which have been sometimes produced by using variously
colored yarn and sometimes by using yarn of different kinds of material, in which
cases the effect of the designs was produced by the varying contrasts of the
different yarn or material used.. In most cases these goods have been produced with
a smooth or even surface and they have had a bright or glossy finish imparted to
them by pressing or calendering before they have been brought into the market.
By the present invention however it is proposed to produce patterns on stocki-
nettes and other knitted or looped fabrics by pressing them by means of heated
engraved plates or rollers whereby some portions of the surface are depressed whilst
others are in relief.
This pressing is effected in the same way as that adopted in the like treatment of
woven cotton and silk plushes and like woven materials, by pressing the engraved
design forms in a heated condition into the materials.
This is generally done by means of relief engraved cylinders heated by steam
or by gas flames, but it can also be effected by means of engraved dies or plates
in a press.
By means of the present invention raised designs can be produced on looped or
knitted fabrics and the ground or sunken portions of the design may be plain or
may be of any desired or suitable pattern or character.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The production of designs on stockinette or other looped or knitted fabrics by
means of heated engraved dies or plates or rollers and pressure, substantially as
herein described.

Improvements in Struts for Propping the Banks of Ditches, Trenches,
and the like, and for other analogous purposes.
A communication from FRANZ STEFFENS, of 89, Friedrichstrasse, Aix-la-Chapelle,
in the German Empire, Architect.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
The strut llustrated in the accompanying drawing has for its object to secure
the planking used in the construction of canal ditches and the like and for analogous
purposes, in order to prevent the vertical walls from tumbling in. Contrary to the
struts or props hitherto used for this purpose, this strut has, owing to its
adjustability the advantage of being applicable to the propping of the banks of
ditches of different width; furthermore, the inconveniences of quickly wearing away
or deteriorating and easy loosening of the struts or props are prevented.
The strut consists of two racks a and b provided at their ends with plates c and d
having at their outer surfaces several pointed pins e. The racks are guided in a
casing in the interior of which two spur pinions g and h are arranged between and
gearing with the racks.
The pinion g only serves for guiding, while the shaft of the other pinion h carries
at one side a ratchet wheel i with which engages a pawl k and at the other side a
lever arm or handle l. The strut is operated in the following manner :-
The racks a and b are drawn out by the workman till the pins e reach the planks
of the side walls; then the plates c and d are sufficiently pressed against the planks
by means of the lever 1, a backward movement of the racks being prevented by the
pawl k and ratchet wheel i.
In order that the plates c and d will firmly bear against the walls of the ditches,
in case these walls are not parallel the plates d and e may be jointed to the racks b

'Improvements in Tops.
I, ABRAHAM GERSHEN GREEN, of 99 Old Montague Street, in the County of
Middlesex, Toy Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:—
This invention relates to improvements in gyroscope tops which consist of a
spindle carrying a wheel mounted within a ring or hoop. Hitherto in tops of this
class the wheel has been exposed in such a manner that its rotation has been
stopped by its coming in contact with any object. What is far more serious it has.
been liable to damage by falls-the wheel being the heaviest part of the top,
invariably coming in contact with the floor or other surface and being bent out of
truth.
Now my invention consists in providing a guard to the said wheel so as to
protect it from the effects of contact with other articles and falls as described
above.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood and carried into
practice I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accom--
panying one sheet of drawings of which
Fig. 1 is a side elevation, and Fig. 2 a plan of a gyroscope top constructed
according to my invention.
As shown in the drawings, the ring a in which the wheel bis mounted carries
a second ring or hoop e, disposed at right angles to the same in the same plane as
that of the wheel b. It will be seen that the guard, ring or hoop e protects the
wheel bon all sides. It is obvious that two or more guard rings may be
employed if preferred in which case they will preferably be mounted one on each
side of the plane of the wheel at equal distances therefrom.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
In tops of the class herein before referred to, the arrangement of a guard hoop
or ring around the wheel of the same, substantially as and for the purpose herein--
before set forth and described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

A New or Improved Device for Covering Taps when Tapping Ale,
Stout, Mineral Waters, and the like for Preventing Leakage.
I MICHAEL FORAN (Color Sergeant) of the 1st Battalion Royal Irish Rifles
Drogheda, Ireland, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to a new or improved device for surrounding the stem of
taps for beer barrels and the like so that they may be readily inserted in the barrel
and held tightly therein so as to prevent leakage, at the same time doing away with
the necessity for winding paper around same, which is now frequently resorted to,
and which is a very unsatisfactory method as the contents of the barrel frequently
leaks through, while when the tap is half inserted the paper often slips in which
case the operation of winding on the paper has to be gone through again, thus
resulting in a considerable loss of time. This improved cover can be used over and
over again and would be found much cleaner and handier in every respect than the
paper hitherto used for that purpose.
In carrying my invention into practice, I form a hollow cover of sufficient length,
slightly tapering towards one end, which is passed over the stem of the tap, and,
owing to the tapering form can be pressed tightly on the said stem. This outer
cover is made of any resilient material such as papier machè (not too hard and
unglazed), india-rubber, cork or other suitable material and may be roughened, or
furnished with serrations so as to fit tightly into the barrel.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood I will now proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 shows three views of the device viz.: a side view and a view at either end,
and Fig. 2 shows the device as applied to a tap.
My improved device consists as shown at Fig. 1 of a cylindrical hollow cover a
tapering towards one end and which is placed over and around the stem of the tap b
as shown at Fig. 2.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The new or improved cover for the taps of beer barrels and the like substantially
as herein described and shown, and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in the Lids of Slop Pails and other similar Vessels
and in the Manufacture of the same.
I, ROBERT RHODES of the firm of T. Rhodes & Sons of Lye Stourbridge in
the County of Worcester Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
"
My invention has for its object improvements in the lide of slop pails and other
similar vessels and in the manufacture of the same by which the lids are produced
from one piece of metal and they are stronger, easier manufactured and less liable
to injury than those now in use.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practice I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings upon
which one of my lids is illustrated.
Figure 1 is a plan looking upon the top of the lid.
Figure 2 is a cross section of the lid but showing the handle B in elevation the
edges of the lid boing only partly finished.
Figure 3 is a similar cross section through the lid to Figuro 2 but shewing the
lid in its finished condition.
From a plain blank of metal steel iron or other metal I form the blank A
under a press or stamp in suitable tools and in such a manner that the part of
the outer portion of the lid E is formed by the same action of stamping. The
bovilled part el serves as the rim to enter the pail or other vessol and instead of
a thin edge as is now the case with lids I obtain the substantial swell or bead E
which is not nearly so liable to indentation and injury as the single edge at present
used and besides the one piece of metal forms the whole. The first process
produces the lid as seen in cross section, Figure 2 with the part e straight. Of
course the lid might be used as there shown but for the sake of finish and strength
I turn over the edge ei.e. what is called "wiring" it as seen by e³ Figure 3.
The handle B is rivetted or otherwise fastened on in any convenient manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what mauner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
The improvements in the lids of slop pails and other similar articles and in the
manufacture of the same so that the lip or rim E is formed from one piece of
metal as and for the purpose herein set forth and as shewn upon the drawings.

An Improved Varnish or Composition, applicable as a Protective
Coating for Wood, Iron, and the like.
I, ADOLF BECK of Türken Schanz Street Vienna, in the Empire of Austria,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
This invention relates to an improved lacquer which differs from all others
hitherto in use, in that it has the following properties :-It is indissoluble, water-
proof, and fast polishing.
This improved lacquer can be used either by itself or in combination with colours,
such as earth colour metallic oxide etc., for the painting of wood and iron structures,
and it is especially useful as a preventative of the rotting of wood and the rusting
of iron. Among its other qualities it dries very rapidly and becomes extremely
hard, and a small quantity suffices to cover a large surface, while the surface
covered with it can be washed without injuring its lustre or polish.
The ingredients composing this new lacquer are as follows:
Amber colophony
Refined benzine (0*)
Linseed oil varnish
Thick turpentine
to which may be also added 8 parts of American resin.
