(`TREAT FIRE AT THE GITTTA
gUI PERCHA COMFANY'S WORKS, AND DEFEATED

BURGLARIES.
THOMAS MILNER :and SON have sincere pleasure in
,communicating to their Friends and the Public the following
new endorsements to the claims of their HOLDFAST and
+IRE.RESISTING SACFES. The Fire at the Gutta Percha
• Company's Works was of the most intense character, as may
well be conceived from the nature of its food. Gutta Percha,
Oil, Naptha, reducing the buildings to a pile of gutted red-hot
walls. The Safe has been most severely tried, as the letter
• testifies, and brought its .contents out of the Furnace without
&singe upon them.

" Ci.ty-road, London, Bth June, 1853.
;--We consider itonly our duty to inform you of the
,entire.preservation of all the books and papers* contained in
,the large-cafe you recently supplied us with, although exposed
1- during Stmday last to a fire which destroyed the larger part of
.our works. This is the more remarkable, as the intense heat
has in•marty parts melted the outside cf the safe.
•f‘ We are of opinion that so successful a vindication of the
merits of •your invention cannot, on public grounds, be too
generally known ; and we therefore leave you at liberty to use
this letter in say way y9u may wish.
"-We are, Sirs. your obedient servants,
"THE GUTTA PERCI4A COMPANY.

"GENTLEMEN,—Some time back I was indebted to YOut
strong Holdfast and Vire-resisting Safe for the protection of a
large amount of cask, against the violent and persevering
attempts of burglars at my steam-mills, in Woodstock-street,
and I have now the pleasure of informing you that I have
lately found the same impregnable security in the one I had
last from you for my vrovision warehouse in Brownlow•bill.
The floor was all trodden over around the safe. as ifthe thieves
had been at it for many tours, after which they got it out into
the back yard, and as it could not be picked or broken open,
they then filled the'key-hole with gunpowder, thinking to gain
admission by explosion ; but in which they were again foiled.
"I feel it due to your invaluable safeguards to give you this
testimonial, and shall strongly recommend them to all my
friends. Please send me another of the same size for my house.
"I am, Gentlemen, yours respectfully,
"THOMAS LEICESTER.

NEVER KNOWN TO FAIL.—BRANDE'S
BRONCHIAL SEDATIVE, equal in Medicinal effect
to Two of any other preparation for Coughs, Colds, Bron-
chitis, Asthma, Pulmonary Phthisis, Influenza, Derangement
of the Voice. and all Affections of the Chest and Lungs.
Compounded under the direction of a Professional Gentleman,
who for many years has made the Anatomy and Pathology of
the Chest and Lungs his particular study.
The Influence of BRANDE'S BRONCHIAL SEDATIVE
pursues the exact tract of the inflammatory action causing
cough. First soothing the glottis and epiglotis (the organs of
voice), its sedative influence passes along the mucous lining
of the windpipe unto the bronchii, and allaying pulmonary
irritation, giving ease and comfort to the chest—restoring
the voice to its accustomed clearness and power.
Authentic Testimonials selected from an immense number of
others, shoring the good already effected by this Medicine.
" Dark-street, Haverfordwest, Feb. 18th, 1849.
"Sir,—Having been recommended by Mr. 0. E. Davies, of
this town, to try Brande's Bronchial Sedative, for a very
severe cough, with which I was troubled for more than six
months, I did so, and after taking only two packets. I was
perfectly recovered. I had been for months that I could not
rest night or day, with difficulty of breathing, and a tickling
sensation in the throat, and the cough at times was so severe
that I was nearly suffocated. I can now sleep comfortably,
and am quite free from pain.—I am, &c..
" To Mr. John Willis." " MARY ROVERS.
"Victoria Cottage, Romford.
" Sir,—l cannot express to you my thanks for the relief I
have found from taking your Cough Wafers. They have done
me a world of good. Formerly I was never without a cough,
and tried all sorts of medicines without being able to remove
it; now, thanks to you, it is gone. Your medicine, unlike
any other I have tried, acts as a stimulant to the digestive
organs, and improves the general health.—l am, yours, &c.,
"To Mr. John Willis." " ROBERT SHEPPARD.
"Sir,—Having. received great benefit from a parcel of your
invaluable medicine, "Brande's Bronchial Sedative," which
I received about a fortnight ago, I have again to request you
will be pleased to forward me four parcels of the same.—l am,
&c., "JOHN BURKE. Corporal 68th Lt. Infantry, Galway.
