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 theletter
testifies, and brought its contents out of the Furnace without
a singe upon them.
"Gotta Percha Company's Works,
" City-road, London,gth June, 1553.
" Sitts,—We consider it only our duty to inform you of the
entire preservation of all the books and napers*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.

"Scotland-road Mills, Liverpool. Bth June, 1833.
"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 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 provision warehouse in Brownlow• hill.
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.
" I am, Gentlemen, yours respectfully,
"THOMAS LEICESTER.
" Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son."

MR. HOWARD'S PATENT WHITE SUCCEDANEIJM,
For filling Decayed Teeth, however large the cavity, even if
the Tooth is Broken down to the Gums. It is superior to
anything ever before used, as it is placed in the tooth in a soft
state, without any pressure or pain, and in a short time be-
comes as hard as the enamel, and will remain firm in the
tooth for many years, rendering extraction 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 Kingdom, Price

dom. LOSS OF TEETH.
A new and very curious invention connected with Dental
Surgery has been introduced by Mr. HOWARD, it is the pro-
duction of an entirely new description of Artificial Teeth,
fixed by his New Patent System of Self-adhesion and Capillary
Attraction without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so per-
fectly 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 extrac-
tion of any teeth or roots, or any painful operation whatever,
and from the nature of the materials used the most perfect fit
is obtained. The invention is of importance to many persons,
and those who are interested in it, should avail themselves of
this new method.
Mr. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 17, George-street, Hanover-
square, London. At home from Il till 4.
Mr. HOWARD'S new principle of fixing Artificial Teeth has
obtained the approbation and recommendation of the follow-
ing eminent Physicians and Surgeons:—Sir James Clark,
Bart., Physician to her Majesty; Dr. Locock, Physician Ac-
coucheur 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,j isud numerous other mem•
bus of the medical profession.
