ENGLISH'S PATENT CAMPIIINE COMPANY,

SOLE P. 47 ENTEES OF CAMPHINE,.
11 EG to CAUTION Consumers against many offered
imitations of Patent Camphine, such being dangerous and
unpleasant in burning.
The recently improved Lamps, with Patent Camphine, effec-
tinily prevent smoke and smell ; and, consequent noon the
great advance in the price of all t Ws. the P,tent Camphine is
the cheapest article offered to the Public. The Light being
equal to that of the rays of the sun, and giving a uniform Light
day and night, has been adopted at the Koval I )hservatories of
Greenwich and Woolwich, for the purpose of Photozraphie
Regis'rations. Mr. Glaisher, in his letter from the Royal 01,.
servatory, Greenwich, writes:—" Your Catnphine has burnt
night and day Cm' many months, constantly, without smoke,
smell, or blacks, and has been uniformly pure." Captain
Younghusband, from the 111toznetic Observatory, Woolwich,
says:—" English's Patent Camphine answers our purpose
admirably."

guards in the world against fire, robbery, and fraud ; 20,000 of
them keep the books, deeds, and cash of the practical men of
Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, &c., who know their supe•
riority to any other others. Five of them have brought their
contents unscathed out of the ruins of large fires in Glasgow
alone this year. wherein scores of other safes have been burnt
out. Twenty-five offices were .biirnt out in Lincoln's Inn in
January, in one alone of which the title-eeeds of thirty large-
landed estates were burnt. which would all have been preserved
iu Milner's Safes. From some hundreds of certificates, the
following is selected, as one out of ,rally instanees Li which
everything was consumed in the buildings excepting whist
