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
FIRE-RESISTING SAFES. 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
a singe upon them.
66 Gutta Percha Company's Works,
" City-road, London, Bth June, 1853.
" Stns,—We consider it only our duty to inform you of the
entire preservation of all the books and papers* contained in
the large safe you recently supplied us with, although exposed
during Sunday last to a fire which destroyed the larger part of
our works. This is the more remarkable, as the intense heat
has in many parts melted the outside of the safe.
" 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 any way you may wish.
" We are; Sirs, your obedient servants,
"THE GUTTA PERCHA COMPANY.
" HENRY FORD BARCLAY.
"To Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son,
47A, Moorgate-street, City, London."
* Including .W 5,000 worth of Cash and Bills.

"Scotland-road Mills, Liverpool. Bth June, 1853.
"GENTLEMEN,—Some time back I was indebted to your
strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe for the protection of a
large amount of cash, against the violent an 4 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 1 had
last from you for my provision warehouse in Brownlow-bill.
The floor was all trodden over around the safe, as if the thieves
had been at it for many hours, 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.
" 1 am, Gentlemen, yours respectfully,
"THOMAS LEICESTER.
" Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son."

ADDITIONAL TESTIMONIAL of the valu-
able medicinal properties of FRAMPTON'S PILL OF
HEALTH forwarded to Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, from
W. Smith, Esq. :—" 13, St. Mark's-terrace, West Brompton,
London, 10th May, 1852.—Sir,—Ten years ago I was induced
to give you my opinion, founded on experience, of the merits
of Frampton's Pill of Health. lam pleased at your having
published that plain statement, by which I hope others have
bean induced to try so effective a medicine. Anxious cares
and the neglect of my old tried friend during the early part of
this year, had produced symptoms of uneasiness which I
found it prudent no longer to neglect; and I am delighted to
say that a few doses of the pills, under the blessing of Divine
Providence, has removed, and I am again as well as I ever
was in my fife. Please forward me the usual supply of half-a-
dozen boxes, which I may safely term my medicine chest for
self and family; and I hold it a duty to omit no opportunity
of thus giving to you proofs of my experience of the valuable
properties of this medicine.—Wm. SMITH."
These Pills are particularly efficacious for Stomach Coughs,
Colds, Agues, Shortness of Breath, and all obstructions of the
Urinary Passages; and, if taken after too free an indulgence
at table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state
of repose. Persons of a Full Habit, who are subject to Head-
ache, Giddiness. Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising
from too great a flow of Blood to the Head, should never be
without them, as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely
carried off by their immediate use. For Females, these Pills
are moat truly excellent, removing all Obstructions, the dis-
tressing Headache so very prevalent with the sex ; Depression
of Spirits, Dulness of Sight, Nervous Affections, Blotches,
Pimples, and Sallowness of the Skin, and give a healthy and
juvenile bloom to the complexion. To Mothers they are con-
fidently recommended as the best medicine that can be taken
during pregnancy ; and for children of all ages they are un-
equalled. As a pleasant, safe, and easy Aperient, they unite
the recommendation of a mild operation with the most suc-
cessful effect. By regulating the dose, according to the age
and strength of the patient, they become suitable for every
case, in either sex, that can be required.

rally throughout the Kingdom.

are patronised by Royalty and the most distinguished families
in different parts of the world. During the last four years
their extraordinary efficacy has astonished thousands.
The Hair Restored, Boldness and Greyness Prevented,
By BEETHAM'S CAPS! tRY FLUID.—The truly wonder-
ful efficacy of this unique I,reparation is the theme of admira-
tion wherever introduced. It effectually prevents the hair
falling off or turning grey, promotes its growth on places that
have been bald for years, strengthens weak and fine hair, and
gradually restores its natural colour, without the use of dye.
It cleanses the head from scurf, and imparts a beautiful
transparent, glossy appearance, and keeps it in any desired
form. In inducing the growth of whiskers, eyebrows, mus-
tachios, its effect is surprising.—bottles 25. 6d., double sizes
4s. 6d., 7s. 6d. equal to four small, lls. to six small.
Ease and Comfort in Walking.
BEETHAM'S CORN AND BUNION PLASTER.—This
most important discovery causes the greatest delight and
astonishment wherever it is introduced. Its effect, to use the
words of numerous correspondents, is truly miraculous ; the
most inveterate Corns, Bunions, and those unsightly and
painful enlargements of the GREAT TOE JOINTS, which disfi-
gure the beautiful symmetry of the foot, have been imme-
diately relieved from all pain and uneasiness, and in a short
time entirely dispersed after twenty years' suffering. Unex-
ceptionable references are allowed to be given to individuals
in almost every part of the United Kinedom.—Sold in Packets,
Is.; Boxes, 2s. 6d. ; which will be sent free to any part of the
United Kingdom on the receipt of 14 or 34 postage stamps, by
Mr. Beetham, Cheltenham, or any of his Agents.
For Removing Superfluous flair.
BEETHAM'S VEGETABLE EXTRACT is the only article
ever discovered which does not cause pain or injury to the
Skin. Numerous worthless articles are introduced, contain-
ing the must deadly poisons, and unfit to be applied to the
human body; many of them remove the skin, and produce
dangerous wounds. The effect of this Extract is unerring,
and gives the greatest satisfaction.—Packets, 55., sent free
for Os., by Mr. Beetham, Cheltenham.

variety of ways, to suit the circumstances and convenience

Death, if that event should happen previously," is particularly

are entitled to the Entire Profits of the Branch, which are
divided at the expiration of every fifth year. These profits
may be applied either in Reduction of the Yearly Premiums
until the ensuing period of division, or in Additions to the
sums Assured.

Prospective Allowances are, at each division, set apart from
those Policy-holders who are not immediately entitled to par-
ticipate in the profits, but who will hnve paid five yearly
premiums before the next ensuing division; thus affording to
the Assured all the advantages of an Annual Division of Profits.

MR. HOWARD'S WHITE SUCCEDANEUM,

For Filling Decayed Teeth, however large the cavity. It is
superior to any thing ever before used, as it is placed in
the tooth in a soft state, without any pressure or pain, and
in a short time will become as hard as the enamel, and will'
remain firm in the tooth for many years, rendering.extrac-
tion unnecessary. It arrests all further progress of decay,
and renders them again useful in mastication. All persons
can use the SUCCEDANEUM THEMSELVES WITH EASE,
as full directions are enclosed.
Prepared only by THOMAS HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist,
17, George-street. Hanover-square, London, who will send
the SUCCEDANEUM free by POST to any part of the King-
dom.—Price 2s. 6d.—Observe ; the SUCCEDANEUM is

LOSS OF TEETH. A New and Curious Invention con-
nected with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. How-
ard; it is the introduction of an ENTIRELY NEW DE-
SCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH ; fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals
by the closest observer. They will never change colour or
decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever
before used. This method does not require the extraction of
roots, or any painful operation, and will support and pre-
serve the teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore
articulation and mastication. The invention is of importance
to many persons, and those who are interested in it, should
avail themselves of this New discovery.
MR. HOWARD, SURGEON DENTIST
17,

At home from eleven till four.
This new method of fixing Artificial Teeth, has obtained
the approbation and recommendation of the following emi-
nent Physicians and Surgeons :—Sir James Clark, Bart.,
Physician to Her Majesty; Dr. Locock, Physician Accou-
cheur to Her Majesty; Sir B. C. Brodie, Bart., Sergeant
Surgeon to Her Majesty; Sir D. Davies, Physician to Her
Majesty the Queen Dowager; Dr. Merriman, Physician to
Her R. H. the Duchess of Kent; and numerous other mem-
bers of the Medical Profession. Those interested in the
subject will find this statement of the superiority of these
teeth over all others to be entirely and scrupulously correct.

Dr. DE ROOS' PILULE VITAS, or VEGETABLE LIFE
PILLS. A universal Restorative for both Sexes and all Ages,
concocted solely from the VEGETABLE kingdom; they may
be administered to the youngest Child, or to the most delicate
Invalid, by merely regulating the dose according to the age
and strength of the person. They remove all Disorders and
Pains in the Stomach and Bowels, as Costiveness, Spasms,
Loss of Appetite, Sick Headache, Fulness after Meals, Indi-
gestion, Liver Complaints, Inactivity of the Bowels, Listless-
ness, Heat, Pain, and Jaundiced Appearance; and while they
act thus salutarily, they must of necessity increase the
strength of the Patient. Headache, Giddiness, Singing in the
Ears, Fluttering of the Sight, and other Heavy Drowsy Sensa-
tions,—the forerunners of many fatal diseases,—as Apoplexy,
Paralytic Strokes, Epilepsy, &c., are effectually warded off by
a few doses of these Pills. They also produce sound refresh-
ing Sleep, a keen Appetite, and possess extraordinary efficacy
in invigorating the system, and imparting a pleasing serenity
of mind. They are unequalled as a Family Medicine; in few
instances, where occasionally employed in Families and
Schools, will other assistance be needed.

For Females they are truly excellent, removing Headaches,
Depression of Spirits, Dizziness of Sight, Nervousness, Dim-
ples, Sallowness, and giving a healthy juvenile bloom to the
Complexion. Ladies, however delicate, will find them parti-
cularly beneficial both before and after confinement. For
Elderly People they are the most comfortable Medicine that
can be taken.

Mr. Smith, St. Ins: "Since taking your Pills I have not
once required the services of a medical man, and feel satisfied
this would be the case generally, if people were not so much
governed by prejudice."—T. Webster, Esq., Sleaford, near
Melton Mowbray: "Having read your advertisement, I felt
assured your Pills would be of use to some of my poorer
neighbours. I have bad 12 boxes, and they have derived
great benefit from taking them. I shall continue to recom-
mend your valuable Pills to all my friends."— Mr. Edwin
Highley, 4, Mount-street, Halifax : " I find your Paula Vita
a very pleasant medicine in removing headache."—Maent-
wrog, Tan-y.Bwlch, North Wales: "Mr. Warner's compli-
ments to Dr. De Roos, and he finds no medicine do him so
much good as his Pilulae Vitae." _ _

Persons going Abroad, Captains, and others, cannot 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-failing
restorative. . . _

IM PORTA NT.—Some unprincipled Vendors, when asked for
Dr. DE ROOS' Pills, have attempted to foist upon the Pur-
chaser other Medicines, or trash of their own compounding,
from which they obtain a larger profit. The GENUINE have
the words " WALTER DE ROOS, LONDON," in white let-
ters on the red ground printed in the stamp, affixed to each
Box, by special direction of Her Majesty's Honourable Com-
missioners, to protect the Public from Fraud, and to imitate
which is Felony.
May be obtained through all Medicine Vendors, at Is. lid.,
2s. 9d.; 4s. 6d., lie., and 335. per Box, with Directions for
Use, &c., or by enclosing Post-office Order or Stamps to Dr.
DE ROOS, 35, Ely-place, Holborn-hill, London, they will be
sent per return.

4, Market-street, Manchester; and all Medicine Vendors.
N.B.—Respectable persons in country places, who will be
allowed a liberal commission, may make a handsome addi-
tion to their income, by selling these Pills, which are very
justly becoming a favourite Medicine With the Public.
