The Strongest, Best, and Cheapest Safeguards in the world against Fire, Robbery, or Violence. With Milners' recently (double) Patented "Gunpowder. proof Solid Lock and Safe Door, without which no Safe in the hands of the Public is secure. NOTE. —All Milner's Holdfast Safes in use may be made com plete with these" Improvements," and every information afforded on application as below. Tfie attention of the Public is invited to the following Experi ments (see Liverpool Mercury and Standard of following dates:) " Liverpool, December Bth, 1854. " We hereby certify that we have this day witnessed some very highly satisfactory experiments at Milners' Phoenix Safe Works, proving the perfect security of their newly-patented ' Gunpowder proof Solid Locks and Safe Doors,' against attempts to force the same open with gunpowder; the door of another safe, experi mented upon, fitted with the open six-lever and detector lock, although of equal strength, being shattered and blown off by the explosion of the gunpowder introduced through the key-hole.— Wm. Brown, M.P. ; Joseph Boult ; William Rishton, Surveyor; Henry Hulme ; Joseph R. Beck ; James Johnson, Deputy Chair man of the Watch Committee; James Robertson, Ditto; J. J. Greig, Head-Constable; Robert Clough, In-door Superintendent; Benjamin Ride,Divisional-Superintendent ; Thomas Quick, Ditto; Joseph Bates, Detective-Inspector; Robert P. Thacker; John Willox; and Samuel Moiser." MILNERS' PIRENIX (212°) SAFEWORKS, LIVERPOOL. The most extensive and complete in the world, employing from two to three hundred hands, assisted by powerful, original, and elaborate machinery and implements, adapted for every branch of the work; established for carrying out the important improve ments under Milners' Quadruple Patents to the interior and ex terior of their Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safes, and for supply ing to the public the Strongest Safeguards against Fire, Robbery, or Violence extant, at the lowest prices consist en t w ith th e mos t perfect efficiency and security. CAUTlON.—Milners' Holdfast Safes are of three qualities— the cheapest superior to any other safes—and range under three Lists, namely, Milners' Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 2, at 10s. per foot; Milners' Strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 3, at 15s. per foot; Milners' First-class Strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 4, at 20a. per foot. The public are deceived by comparisons being made between the prices of the latter superb class of Milners' Safes and the inferior articles offered by incompetent makers to booksellers, ironmon gers, brokers, or any others who will incur the serious responsibi lity of selling them, which are really worthless articles, and dear at any price. What greater delusion than an unsafe Safe? SHOW ROOMS, 6 and 8, LORD-STREET, LIVERPOOL, LONDON DEPOT, 47a, MOORGATE-STREET, CITY.

DR.DE ROOS' COMPOUND. RENAL PILLS (astheir name Renal, or the Kidneys, indicates) have been long established as a most safe and speedy remedy for the above dangerous complaints, Discharges of any kind, and Diseasesof the Kidneys and organs therewith connected generally, &c.,which, if neglected, frequently end in a lingering painful death. For Depression of Spirits, Excitement, Dislike of Society, Incapacity for Study or Business, Loss of Memory, Confusion, Giddiness, Blood to the Head, Drowsiness, Sleep without refreshment, Nervousness, and even Insanity itself, they are unequalled. Possessing tonic pro perties, they agree with the most delicate stomach, strengthen the digestive organs, increase the appetite, and improve the gene ral health. They require neither confinement nor change of diet, and in three days will effect a cure when mercury and all other dangerous medicines have failed. One trial will convince the most sceptical of their surprising properties. Mr. Letellier, Etruria, Potteries.—" Your Renal Pills have done wonders with me and others to whom I have recommended them." H. C., Post-office, Stafford.—" Your Renal Pills are a most splendid medicine." J. Murphy, 70, Upper Sterin-street, Dublin.—" I never met the like of them before, they are really a surprising medicine." W. Chartres, Esq., Newport, Mayo.—" I have a degree of mental energy and vigour such as I did not feel these two years. My memory is wonderfully improved, so that I can recollect all the events of each day with the greatest degree of clearness. It is astonishing how I got out of such awful sufferings, but I think I owe it altogether to the use of your Pills." PERSONS GOING ABROAD, CAPTAINS and OTHERS, can not store more important articles of health than the above, which, by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquillizing the Nervous System, will prevent those fatal diseases so prevalent abroad, as also Sea Sickness and other complaints incidental to long voyages and irregular living. No Emigrant's Chest can be properly furnished without them, for when far removed from medical aid, they will find in these Pills a never-/ailing restorative. IMPORTANT.—The immense demand for the above has induced an unscrupulous person to imitate them, and to assume the name of De Roos. Some unprincipled Vendors, when asked for Dr. DE Roos' PILLS, have attempted to foist upon the public the spu rious Medicines or trash oftheir own com pounding ,fmin which they obtain a larger profit. The GENUINE have the words, " WALTER DE ROOS, LONDON," in white letters on a red ground, printed in the Stamp affixed to each box; by special direction of Her Majesty's Honourable Commissioners, to protect the Public from Fraud, and to imitate which is felony. May be obtained through all Medicine Vendors, at ls. lid., 2s. 9d., 45. 6d., 118., and 335. per Box, with full directions for use; or by enclosing Post-office Order or Stamps to Dr. DE ROOS, 10, BERNERS-STREET, OXFORD-ST., LONDON, they will be sent per return. At home for consultation daily from II till 4 o'clock, Sunday excepted.
