RAPID CURE OF COUGH & DIFFICULTY OF BREATHING
Hale, near Liverpool.

Sir,—l write to inform you of the great benefit I ii-ave re-
ceived from taking Locuck's Wafers, which you recommended
to me. I was so much oppressed at my chest that when I lay
down a coughing fit came on with such violence that I have
often thought I should not live to see the morning; but now I
can sleep a whole night without coughing, after having taken
only two boxes of wafers. J. HAYNES.
Witness, P. Roberts, 4, Ranelagh-street.
ANOTHER CURE OF CONSUMPTIVE COUGH.

Extract of a letter from Mr. Thomas Dean, 150, Scotland-road,
Liverpool.
- . .

. -
Gentlemen,—l have great pleasure in communicating to you
a case (among many) which came under my own observation.
A lady, who I can refer to, in her assiduous attendance upon
her husband during a long and fatal illness, caught cold, and
not having taken care of herself, it settled upon her lungs. She
was troubled with a dreadful cough, and every symptom of
consumption. She applied to her medical man, but did not
obtain any relief ; when, upon the recommendation of a friend,
she tried Dr. Locock's Wafers, which, from the commence-
ment, eased her cough, and by continuing them she is perfectly
cured. (Signed) THOMAS DEAN.

ANOTHER CURE OF COUGH AND HOARSENESS
Parliament-street, Liverpool.

Sir,—lt is with much pleasure I bear testimony to the extra-
ordinary power of Locock's Wafers. I had been troubled with
a cough and hoarseness for nearly two years, without relief,
when I was induced to try Locock's Wafers, the effects of
which were soon visible, for one large box (2s. 9d.) has quite
cured me. I have since recommended them to several of my
friends, and they have also experienced the greatest relief from
them.—l remain yours, ever grateful, J. WILLIAMS.

111)RIgSTLEY'S COUGH AND
▪ ASTHIVIATICAL DROPS. This invaluable Medicine
immediately relieves Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Difficulty
of Breathing, and Huskiness in the Throat. These Drops
are also the best preventive that can be taken against
spitting of blood and affection of the lungs. Persons
troubled with asthma are considerably relieved by taking a few
doses of the drops, as they tend to promote expectoration and
remove viscid phlegm. For the speedy cure of the hooping
cough, they are no less efficacious. Those who are troubled
with that unpleasant tickling in the throat, which deprives
them of rest night after night, by the incessant Cough which
it provokes, will, by taking one dose, find immediate relief;
and one bottle, in most cases, will effect a cure.

known and valuable alterative, JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA, is
prepared by a peculiar method, by which the whole of the
aromatic and volatile parts are preserved ; and the experience
of many years has fully established the reputation of this Medi-
cine, as containing more of the virtues of the root than any
other preparation. Its beneficial effects have been particularly
striking in the following complaints :—Nocturnal Pains in the
Limbs, ScrofulonsEnlargement of the Glands, Cutaneous Affec-
tions, Chronic Rheumatism, &c. In freeing the system after a
course of Mercury its beneficial effects are very powerful. It
purifies the blood,and by giving to the cutaneous vessels a healthy
and regular action, it removes that disposition to Erysipe-
latous Inflammation from which so many persons periodically
suffer; and when taken in the Fall of the Year as an Alterative
Medicine, it will be found to impart that strength to the con-
stitution which is indicated by firmness of flesh, good appetite,
and freshness of the complexion.

PARKER'S PATENT FOR BANDING PULLEYS.
THE Proprietors of Foundries, Cotton Factories,
Saw Mills, Corn and Rice Mills, Building and Joiners'
Establishments, and all others requiring rotary motion, are
respectfully invited to examine PARKER'S PRINCIPLE of
BANDING PULLEYS, which combines a large saving of
motive power, with an increased velocity of motion never before
obtained in limited compass, and may be applied as well to the
the first motion from the engine as to the collateral demands
upon the power, which is largely saved by avoiding the Com-
plicated Bands, Pulleys, and Cog Wheels.
The principle is applied with matchless success to Fans,
Blowers, Lathes, Winnowing and Thrashing Corn, Chopping
Hay, Grinding Malt, Circular Saws, of any required dimen-
sions ; but the most remarkable application of this invention
is to the Portable Circular Saw, which is made to perform a
variety of duties that render it the most desirable tool, and
which no mechanic will be able to dispense with.
For the right to use this patented invention, and for the pur-
chase of the royalties of any Town, County, District, or for any
individual establishment. and for directions in its application,
Apply to WILLI A M RO %VETT, Commercial.buildings,
Water-street, who is the sole Agent for Liverpool.

NB--It his been ascertained that one tilan working the
Portable Saw can do the work :of a steam-engine of one-horse
power for a limited period.

AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP.
FOR CHILDREN CUTTING THEIR TEETH.
NOTWITHSTANDING the number of cheap pre-
parations that have latterly been forced upon the public
by parties jealous of the great success of the original and highly
valuable preparation, Mrs. JOHNSON'S AMERICAN
SOOTHING SYRUP still stands unrivalled, from the simple
fact that it contains no narcotic nor any dangerous ingredient
whatever, while opiates are the foundation of all the recent
imitations. This invaluable preparation has preserved hun-
dreds of Children when thought past recovery from Convulsions
arising from painful dentition. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed
on the gums the child will 'be relieved, the gums cooled, and
inflammation reduced.- It is as innocent as efficacious, and so
pleasant that no child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with
it. Parents should be very particular to ask for Mrs. JOHN-
SON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP, and to notice that the
names of BARCLAY AND SoNs, 95, Farringdon-street, London,
(to whom Mrs. JOHNSON has sold the recipe,) are on the Stamp
affixed to each Bottle.

212° MILNER'S PATENT FIRE-RESISTING
SAFES.
MILNER v. HARRISON.

SECOND TRIAL AT LAW FOR PIRACY OF MILNER'S PATTNT.
/THE Defenc'ant, JOHN GERMAN HARRISON, having
persevered in Ihe sale JI Safes constructed on the princi-
ple of Milner's Fat nt, defiance of the verdict found against
him in June, 1851, in Lire Court of Queen's Bench, and an In-
junction afterwards awarded against him by the Court of
Chancery (he pretending: that the Safes sold by him since the
first trial were not infringements, but made under a patent
granted to Messrs. Sann), a second action was brought on the
suggestion of Vice-Chancellor Sir George Turner, to try
whether such safes were or were not infringements on hlilner's
Patent.
This action was tried on the 25th June last, before Lord
Campbell and a special jury. The following extracts from the
learned Judge's address to the jury in summing up will show
distinctly the Questions submitted to the jury :
Lord Campbell.—" I own it seems to me that Mr. Harrison
does not appear before you in very advantageous colours from
these proceedings. He had been in the service of Messrs.
Milner, and while in their service he takes another shop, and
there he begins and sells fire-proof boxes which were agreed by
a jury sitting where you now are to be substantially the same
as those of Milner, the Patentee, and that record has been
given in evidence: you are not bound by it, but you may at-
tend to it; add I must own that I do not see any reason to
believe that the jury who sat on the trial of that cause were in
any respect mistaken in point of fact, and I do not discover
that there is any real difference between this case and that ;
you will attend to all the evidence, and form your own conclu-
lion from the evidence that has been given.
" You are first called upon to say whether this invention of
Messrs. Milner is new. As to wheter it is useful, it seems to
me to be allowed on all hands, it seems a most marvellous pre-'
servative against fire; for the. water remains permanently
held in artificial vessels or in natural vessels, and the very
calamity brings the cure, for the heat causes the water to ex-
pand, and then it is turned into steam, and the steam moistens
the substance which is to be preserved, and so it is an effectual
guard against fire.
.‘ If you think this was new, then the only remaining quell-
fign is with regard to the infringement.

.• Now the infringement seems to rest upon substantially the
same evidence as the infringement on the former trial, when
the action was brought aaainst Mr. Harrison.

“ Now you find with respect to Tann's Patent, whatever
Tann's invention might have been, that this patent which he
manufactures, and which the defendant Harrison sells, and of
which he calls himself the sole proprietor,' operates in the
same way. It seems to me to act precisely the same way as in
Milher's patent, but upon that you will form your own judp
ment. Then if it really has the same effect. and operates in
the same manner, and upon the same principle, it will be for
you to say whether you have any doubt it is an infraction of
Milner's Patent. Those are the two questions for you to con.
sider.”

The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff, on both the
issues, thus establishing that the so-called Tann's Patent Safes
are a mere piracy of Milner's invention. After the trial last
pear, it was pretended that the Safes then condemned were not
made according to 7'ann's Patent—in other words that the
water in them had not been boiled and set to cool before being
used. The three Safes upon which this second action was
brought were sworn to by Messrs. ann as being made accord-
ing to their Patent. .

The Public of Liverpool will remember the species of adver-
tisements by which this wretched case has been upheld. THEY
have been as winch imposed upon, with regard to the quality
and price of the safes sold by these parties, as the advertisers
have been wronged by their illegal use of Milner's (the only
effective) Fire-resisting principle. The experience of Mr.
Cafferata, as shown at this trial, (by a gentleman unknown to
us before,) is only'that of all the buyers of these things. Mr.
C. was induced to give £l5 for a safe, 22 x 16 x 16, on the
assurance that it was " Thief-proof—three quarter inch thick
solid wrought iron," &c., &c. Looking at it a day or two
afterwards, at home, and on scraping the paint off it, he found
it a MERE SHELL—a perfect delusion ,• and those who have
intrusted their valuable property to such safeguards will do
well to take the same course. _

For our own Safes, we have devoted our lives and our earn-
ings to the production of the best securities in the world against
Fire, Robbery, or Violence, which the public has given to us
the best means of making, and which we mean to sell at the
lowest remunerating prices. Parfore buying a Safe, if parties
will look into our works, and-see the labour mid attention
paid to the manufacture in all its details, they will be less likely
to be imposed upon by'ex'ternal appearances and fallacious
representations in the very important matter of the selection
of a Safe. " MILNER'S PHOINIX SAFE WORKS," (late Wind-
sor Foundry,) Falkner-street, are said to be the finest work-
shops in Europe, of their class, certainly THE MOST EXTEN-
SIVE AND COMPLETE SAFE MANUFACTORY IN THE WORLD,
employing more hands than all the Safe makers in Great Bri-
tain, and the Proprietors respectfully invite the people of
Liverpool to inspect an establishment that has originated under
our present patent, and grown up amoagst them. The effect
of these trials will be to confirm to Messrs. Milner and Son the
exclusive use of materials or vessels in which, to use the
Judge's words, " the water remains permanently held until the
occurrence of the calamity (Fire) brings the cure." The trials
by the Liverpool Polytechnic Society of Chubb's and Marr's
Boxes filled with anhydrous (dry) materials, and of Milner's,
filled according to their evaporating principle, proving the
manifest superiority of the latter, will be remembered, and
such is now the defined relative position of Milner's only effec-
tive Fite-taming principle, by the agency of water and its
capon,destc 3,000de
g. _ contrasted with all others without, that agency. 212
