MACKINTOSHES SUPERSEDED.
ALPERDOE'S VENTILATING WATER-
PROOF FROCK.—This well-known and much-ap-
proved garment is the only substi'ute for the Mackintosh,
which effectually excludes the rain, without confining perspi-
ration. It is made of a woollen material, is light, gentlemanly,
and durable, and recommended, by those who have adopted it,
as the most convenient and valuable protection from the
weather ever invented. The best proof of this is the number
made during the four years it has been in use through such
recommendation. A great variety is kept ready made.

THE HASIBURCM FIRE.'

1. N consequence of the great destruction of Books,
Papers, &e., through depositing them in Common Iron
Safes and Tin Boxes, which afford no security in case of fire,
C. CHUBB & SON beg to call the no'ice of the public to
their PATENT FIRE-PROOF STRONG ROOMS,
Chests, Safes, and Boxes, which are perfectly secure against
the force and ingenuity of the most skilful and determined
burglar, and have been subjected to the following severe tests
from fire :

" Saw Mills, Grosvenor basin, Pimlico, Jan. 2.5, 1826.
- •

"We certify that these papers were enclosed Chubb's
Patent Fire-proof Box, and exposed in the furnace of a steam-
engine of 22-horse power, by which the box became red hot in
three minutes, and remained in the furnace in that state for a
considerable time, and were taken eta in our presence perfectly
-- uninjured.R. R. Arnz, E. W. Lower, R. Goodman,
Engineer." _

At the fire at Messrs. 'Boyle and Co.'s premises in Dublin,
the books were preserved by being deposited in ene of Chubb's
Sees.

Copy of letter jest received by the Proprietors, from Mr. William
Moat, al, Edward-street, Oldham.road, Manchester:—
, entlemen,—l have the utmost pleasure in forwarding you this
my own case of cure, effected solely by the persevering use of your
Par's Life Pills. Before having recourse to them, I had been for
upwards of live years afflicted with a most distressing malady, which
the diffe ent eminent medical men who attended me all pronounced
to be a serious case of hydrocele (or dropsy of the scrotum), and de-
clared there was no other chance of either relief or cure than under-
going surgical operation. I was thus driven almost to despair ; and
consulted the treatise written by Sir Astley Cooper, wherein berates
that that the operation is generelly attended with considerable danger.
I therefore determined not to risk so painful and uncertain an ex. e.
riment, but rather chose to leave the result to nature and Provi-
dence. Fortunately, I heard of the great fame of P rr's Pills, and
resolved to give them a fair trial. I consequently took th rn for some
time without perceiving any benefit, but still kept persevering ; and
I have now taken twelve boxes, loci to my great joy I am perfeetly
well, the dropsy is entirely removed, together with a scorbutic affix -
lion, which I had been much troubled with since my return from
India in :1827 ; and now there is not a vestige of disease left in my
whole system, as I am now in better. health and spirits than I have
been for foarteen years. I feel certain you would have accounts of
far more cures, if people would persevere in the use of the pills a pro.
per length of time, as I have done I give you my heartfelt thanks,
and authority to publish this letter, and will gladly answer any ap-
plicsitions, either personally, or by letter, and will remain your grate.
ful and obliged servant. (t igned) WM. MOAT.
