A QUERY -FOR FARMERS.
Who is the greater benetattor? ' He who makes his field pro-
duce an additional bushel of corn, or he who preserves from
destruction an equal amount of produce ?
It is a well-known fact, that great losses of Corn, Provisions,
&c. are annually occasioned. by the ravages
s of Veimin and
noxious Insects, and at the present tune it is especially impor-
tant to save as well as to multiply.
BUTLER'S VERMIN AND INSECT KILLER
is proved to be a most safe and effectual means of Destroying
Rats, Mice, Beetles, Bugs, Crickets, &c.,
. THE . PROOF,
Mr. Williams, Vicarage Farm, High Wycombe, writes that " he
has used it successfully in his Ricks, and can, therefore, recom-
after it to other farmers." Mr. Hornsby, of Odihain, Hants,
after once using it in a building infested with Rats, where he had
tried various means in vain, says, "By next morning the baits
were all eaten, and I have not seen a Rat about the place since !"
Mr. King, Druggist, Bath, says, " I can bear testimony to its
excellent properties for Rats, having tried it in my own house
with singular effect !" Mr. Ball, of Wycombe, whose bakehouse
swarmed with black beetles and crickets, says, "They have now
nearly all disappeared !" Mr. Harwood, of Bristol, after trying
it once only, on board the brig Monmonth and the Seaman's
Chapel, which were overrun with rats and mice, writes," I cannot
speak too highly of the Killer : the mice are all vanished. The
mystery is, what is become of them? for I can trace no signs of
them ; I have not been troubled with rats or mice since I I I"
though a month had then elapsed. And Mr. Fogg, Druggist,
Lewes, says, "In every instance where I have had an opportu-
nity of making the inquiry of purchasers, I have been assured
of its decided efficiency, and in proof of its public character I
have sold a considerable quantity entirely through the recom-
mendation of those who have proved its value."
Sold in packets, 3d., 6d., and Is. each.

MOST VALUABLE, BUT UNINSURABLE

SEVENTH recent practical service of MILNERS'
FIRE-RESISTING SAFES.—Fire Resisting' by self-con-
tained and self-acting evaporation, which must always precede
and prevent Fire.
This is the second case in which everything in the Premises,
excepting what !Miners' Safe preserved, was consumed.
"TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, ETC.
"Sta,—ln the complete burning of the whole of our pre-
mises on Moniy last, the only things saved out of the stock
and property re our Books, which we feel that we owe en-
tirely to MILNERS' FIRE-RESISTING SAFE, in which we kept
them. The Sife bears evidence of the intense fire it had re-
sisted, and it was with as much surprise as gratitude that, on
breaking it open after the fire, we found instead of ashes as we
expected, our Books perfect as we left them. We think it due
to this invaluable invention, and to the public, to make this de-
claration through your columns.

The Liverpool Mercury remarks, after describing the fire :
"The Books belonging to the establishment, which were in one
of Milners' Fire-resisting Safes, were the only articles pre-
served."

Birkenhead, June 2, 1845.,
"Dear Sir,—We have much pleasure in bearing unqualified
testimony to the efficiency and important advantages of MIL-
NERS' FIRE-RESISTIPIO SAFES AND BOXES, in cases of acci-
dent from Fire.
"After the destructive Fire at our Offices this morning, the
BooILA and Papers deposited in the MILKERS' SAFE purchased
from-Tou, were found to be entirely uninjured by Fire, whilst
those contained in a strong Iron Safe and Drawers, standing
beside it, were completely destroyed.
"We will accordingly thank you to supply us with another
SAFE of the same size (No. 4) and description immediately.

The Liverpool papeil, in reporting the 6e, state, " The
building in which the fire commenced was cempletely gutted,
and the whole of the contents destroyed, with the exception of
the Books, those being preserved in one of MILNERS' PATENT
SAFES. Messrs. Walker have sustained a very serious loss, by
the destruction of a number of plans ands pecifications of build-
ings, some erected and others in course of erection, which it is
almost impossible to estimate. These were consumed in a
strong Iron Safe, standing beside MILNERS' SAFE."

EXTRAORDINARY CURE of COUGH, by taking
LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM. The wonderful
curative properties of this celebrated medicine, for the cure of
Asthma, Influenza, Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Wheezing at
,
the Chest, and all Pulmonary Complaints, remains without a
competitor. Sufferers from Influenza and Coughs arising from
taking Cold will find it an unfailing remedy, giving relief in a
few minutes, and effecting a perfect cure in a few days.
Those afflicted with Asthma, of however long standing,
or prevented from even lying down for fear of suffocation, may
rely on immediate relief, and a cure will certainly follow the
use of it. The following extraordinary cure is selected from
among the many hundreds of unsolicited testimonials, and will
speak for its decided efficacy.
To Mr. W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 20, Jermyn-street, Hay-
market, London. . _

Sir,—About four years since I caught a severe cold which ter
minated in a violent Cough with pitting of Blood; I tried
every remedy which my friends recommended, without receiv-
ing any benefit; last winter the Cough so much increased in
violence, and the spitting of blood became so frequent, and at-
tended with all the symptoms of a rapid consumption; I con-
tinued in this dreadful state notwithstanding I had the advice.
of some of the most eminent physicians, and gave up all hope
of recovering. Seeing in the newspapers some extraordinary
cures which your Asmathic Balsam had performed, as a last
resource I was induced to try its efficacy ; to my great astonish-
ment and delight, in less than a week, I perceived a wonderful
benefit, and by the time I had taken two of the 2s. 3d. bottles,
with gratitude I acknowledge, I was perfectly well.
" I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
"Kennington Cross, "ELIZABETH BROWN."
" March, 1845."
Mrs. Mary Banks, of Caroline-street, Camden Town, was
cured of a violent Cough by taking four doses.
