GUN COTTON.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlA,—Perceiving numerous experiments are being
made with the view of introdueing the above article
into the mining districts, I think it only right that some
steps should be taken for the preservation of life and
property from the dangers to which both are exposed
from the distribution of gun cotton for sale amongst the
various shopkeepers ; taking for granted, as stated by
tghuenppoawtednetreesO its explosive properties exceed that of
consequently it must be more dangerous ;
added to which,c I understand it is liable to spontaneous
combustion. Why, then, is such a commodity to be
vended ad libitum whilst the dealers in gunpowder are
subjected to such heavy restrictioas and penalties ?
Again, I should like to know how the insurance:upon an
individual's stock and premises would stand affected:in
the event of an accident arising from such a commodity
being upon the premises ? If the subject is not taken
up by the Government, and that soon, we shall have
some much more frightful accidents than have recently
occurred on our railways. Let us bear in mind " Pre-
vention is better than cure.
Your insertion of the above will be esteemed by
Yours respectfully, _

EADVERTISEMENT.]—ASTONISHING CURE OF A VERY
BAD LEG OF THIRTY YEARS' SIANDING BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS
AND OINVHENT.—The wife of ltr. George Bourne, butcher, of
Stockton-on-Tees, suffered for full thirty years, with a dreadful bad
leg, apparently originating by the bursting of a vein internally. The
pain was intense; the most eminent medical men tried to cure it
but in vain ; at last she was induced to try Holloway's Pills and
Ointment, when, to the astonishment of herself and all who knew
her, the leg, in the course of eight 'reeks, was thoroughly healed and
cured, and has remained sound anl free from pain for the last nine
months. Sold by all druggists. ard At rroiemor livuoway'4 gdal3-
