I I PATENTS! NOTICE TO INVENTORS. Tbere was never a time In the hiBtor ofonr coaotry when the demand for inventions and improvements in the arts and sciences generally was so great as now. The conveniences of mpjltind in the factory and workshop, the household and on the farm, an wi: an in official life, require continual neceHB'oDS to the Bppartenanoe and implements of each in order to save labor, time and expense. The political change in the administra tion of government does not affect the progress of the American inventor, who being on the alert, and ready to per ceive the existing deficiencies, does not permit the affairs of government to de ter bim from quickly oouoeiving the remedy to overcome existing discrepan cies. Tno great owe cannot be exnr oved in choosiug a competent and Bkill ful attorney to prepare and prosecute an application for patent. Valuable in terests have been lost and destroyed in innumernble instances bv the employ ment of incompetent counsel, and es pecially is this advioe applicable to those who adopt the 'No patent, no pay" system. Inventors who entrust their business to this class of attorney? do o at imminent risk, as the breadth and strength of the patent is never con sidered in view of a quick endeavor to get an allowance and obtain the fpe.
