Twenty Years Loss of Hair, and wonderful Restoration.
Church-street, Whitby, Oct. 19, 1941.
Gentlemen,—Of the last supply of OLDRIDGE'S BALM of
COLUMBIA every bottle was sold immediately on receipt, and
I have many more bespoke, only waiting for a further supply,
which I hope you will send without the least delay. Orders
have poured in more than ever since the powerful effects of the
Balm have been so decisively demonstrated in the cases of se-
veral credible and respectable inhabitants of the town. One
instance, among others which have attracted particular atten-
tion, is the case of a gentleman who had had little or no hair f:„.
twenty years : he had tried numerous preparations in vaic. and
ultimately had his head shaved, and wore a wig. At m:,,,,e'enm
mendation he tried the Balm • and after using it %.cafrdino. to
the directions for a short time, young hair tes red, anis tie
has now as fine a head of hair as any person Waft,
Yours, &c., JOHN, iiILVINGTON.

NEW YEAR'S ENTERTAINMENT GIVEN
MESSRS. MILNER TO THEIR WORKMEN
(in Friday evening last, Messrs. Thomas Milner and
Son, inventors, and sole manufacturers of their own cele-
brated fire-resisting Safes, Deed-boxes, and Gunpowder-
magazines, gave a sumptuous and splendid entertainment
at their extensive works (in Lord-street and Cable-street,)
to the numerous workmen in their employ, and to a
number of gentlemen, friends of the fira-, who werein-
vited as guests on the interesting occasion. An excellent
dinner. consisting of the most substantial viands, in the
wake of which followed plum pudding and other etceteras,
with wines, spirits, ale, and (tor the temperance portion
of the company) capital liqueurs, was served up at three
long tables, presided over by Mr. Milner, senior,—at the
head of the centre board—supported by a son on each
side ; the vice-chair being occupied by Mr. John Owens,
the foreman of the concern.

The room was most appropriately and elegantly deco-
rated with festoons of evergreens, roses, &c., and over
the chair was fixed an ornamental canopy of crimson dra-
pery. One end was illuminated by a crown in jets of gas,
and at the other were similarly emblazoned the initials,
V. 11., with a device illustrative of the-valuable invention
of the givers of the feast, bearing the inscription in blaz-
ing letters " Milners' Fire Tamer," surmounted by Nep-
tune's Trident supporting the figures "212," indicating
the degree of ht at at which the fire-safes on their princi-
ple become available by supplying internal vapour to re-
sist the action of the strongest fire.
About 130 sat down to the repast ; this number com-
prising about 100 of the operatives of the zoncern, all in
their respactable holiday attire, and about 30 gentlemen
who had been invited. Amongst the latter were Mr.
Samuel Woods, jun. ; Mr. Richard Woods, Mr. Salt,
secretary of the Polytechnic Society ; Mr. Arnitt, ma-
nager of the new Gas and Coke Company. and with him
Mr. Bright, cousin of Mr. Bright, M,P. for Durham ;
Mr. C. J. Smith, of the New Gas Company ; Mr. Arstall,
and others of cur townsmen and neighbours.
After the dinner the usual loyal toasts were given from
the chair, and received with the most patriotic feeling.
That of the " Queen" was followed by the national an-
them, sung by the whole company, upstanding, and led
by .Mr. Crawford, a gentleman in the employ, who intro-
duced some new and appropriate verses. The others
were also marked by glees, or musical honours.

Mr. WM. MILNER, (the junior partner) being now
called upon for a toast, said be had great pleasure in com-
plying, and in proposing that they should drink prosperity
to " British Industry"—for be made no distinction as to
locality, and wished to include all industrious workmen,
Fnglish, Irish, Scotch, and Welsh. He honoured them
all, for they made, in dutifully pursuing their several
avocations, the best husbands, the best fathers, and the
best subjects, and this was in a great degree to be attri-
buted to the religious feeling and love of country that
pervaded them. He eloquently urged the encourage-
ment of industry amongst- the whole of our fellow-
countrmen, and sat down amidst loud cheers
Mr. W. CRUSE, one of the workmen, here appropri-
ately sang " England—we ne'er shall see her like again."
Mr. JAMES WALKER MILNER, youngest son of Mr.
Milner, senior, here gave the toast of "The Town and
Trade of Liverpool," which was drunk with great ap-
plause, and followed by the song of " Life on the
Ocean Wave," by Mr. John Strange, one of the work-
men—spiritedly executed and loudly applauded.
Messrs. Weal and Philips, also in the employ, then fa-
voured the company with a clever and gratifying obligato
onthe violin and horn, introducinganumber of popular airs.
The CHAIRMAN, having called upon his active fore-
man, who acted as vice at the lower end of the room, for a
toast or sentiment,

Mr. OWENS requested that each should fill a bumper,
for he should propose their worthy entertainers, " Mes-
srs Milner and Son," who were truly kind and consider-
ate employers. The gentlemen present would appreciate
their hospitality to themselves, and with regard to their
kindness and indulgence as masters—their uniform cour-
tesy and consideration—he could himself speak from an
experience of seventeen years. (Cheers.) To see, as at
that joyous meeting, two classes who were essential to
each other, though in different grades of life, thus render-
ing themselves mutually social, was indeed delightful.
He concluded by proposing health, happiness, long life,
and prosperity to Thos. Milner and Son. (Great cheering.)
The CHAIRMAN begged to return his sincere shanks for
the handsome manner in which the toast has been given
and received. He sincerely wished all happiness through
life to his workmen, and also to their wives, relatives, and
sweethearts. (Great cheers and laughter.)
Glee by Mr. Weal, sweetly sung, " Plenty and Joy."
. .

The EHAIRIMMAN proposed the of those kind
friends who had assisted them by their encouragement to

carry out the principle which had given rise to the estab-
lishment, and several of whom had favoured them with
their company that evening. (Cheers and three times
