Of coursé, the saleability of a patent depeunds largely upon the care with which the papers were prepared and the skill employed in obtaining good valuable claims. Many inventors who has not met with sueeess in selling their patents are inclined to believe that there is no louger a demand for them, and in this view the general public appears to concur. It is therefore worth mentioning . within a month there have been many patents sold, some of which have brought their fortunate owners wealth. At the head of the list is a patent which sold for the princely sum of$%98,â€" 000 and another brought $75;00. .A patent beverage brought its inventor the snug sum of $25,000, while patents for prneumatic tools sold for $20,000, and a churn for $5,000. â€" John J.8tonc suld his patent for door bell and burg lar alarims for $75,000 and will hence~ forth probably use his own invention to protect his moitey.

At this time the last exertion caused great fatigue. My appetite was poor and I was attacked with frequent sick headaches. 1 gradually grew worse until 1 was so weak 1 could barely walk through the house. I was yery pale and emaciated and finally became enâ€" tirely incapacitated. Variqns medi cines were resorted to but gave uo rcâ€" lief. Later 1 was treated by two of the best physicians of the town. One said my blood was poor and watery. â€"I folâ€" lowed his advice for some time but did not improve. â€" Then the second doctor ; was calted and he said he could help; me, but after thorougbly testing his medicines without benefit, I gave it npj and despaired of ever getting well. My grandmother had beeo reading at that tine much about Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills and persuaded me to try them. That was about January, 1898. From the first the results were really marvelâ€" ous, being far beyond my friend‘s exâ€" pectations. â€" After taking five boxes I can stand more fatigue than 1 could for two years. I have gained weight splendidly; can take my food, with a delightful relish, and again feel cheerâ€" ful, healthy and strong. _ I would furâ€" ther say that the change is wholly due to Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills. 1 hope that my testimony will prove beneâ€" filcial to other girls similarly afilicted. ~ _ PAID WITH A SNUB.
