Messrs. 'HOBBS, II 4 trr
-, and CO. call the special atten-
tion of BANKERS, GOLDSMITH'S, JEWELLERS, and
others in possession of valuable property, to their NEW LY-
PATEN TED SAFE, which is so constructed as to im-
pregnable against all the artifices of the BURGLAR in the
use of the drill, the wedge,
the screw or the crowbar, by
having itssides and angles held together by a system of
Tubular Dovetailing, instead of the old practice of riveting;
the Tubes by which they are held together being tilled by
molten iron, so as to form a homogeneous mass, with the
wedges of the Safe overlapping each other within the
Tubes. The Doors are also protected by a newly-invented
Lock, which is invulnerable against the most skilled class
of burglars as well as the most scientific mechanicians.

PIIEASANTS,
PARTRIDGES,
and
POULTRY.—Landed Proprietors, Gentry, &e., of
the United Kingdom wishing to rear Game for 1868 and
to be successful, are respectfully asked to send six stamps
for Mr. CHAMBERLIN'S new BOOli:, containing SOO
certificates of the utility of his FOOD. J. 0. supplies the
Crowned Heads of England and France and the chief of
the aristocracy. By the use of his "Spanish Meal" any
quantity of birds can be raised.
The hundreds of thousands of heads of Game reared on
my system during the last ten years proves its utility ; the
loss from every cause has not averaged three to the hun-
dred. Gapes and Roup (the two most fatal diseases which
attack game) the birds have been and always are free
from. This is attributable to their robust constitution
and excellent condition. Pheasants fed on my food show
their beautiful plumage with hardness and closeness of
feather to the greatest advantage; they cannot be sur-
passed.
The magnificent Foreign and English Pheasants at the
Zoological Society's Gardens, London, and his Imperial
Majesty's Pheasantry at Compiegne and St. Germains, aro
fed with my food.
Address, Mr. JAMES CH &MBERLIN, Post-office-
street, Norwich, England.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the bead, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 1311, and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address aro engraved on the
stamp.
