STREET, FITZROY-SQUARE, LONDON, the Inventor of
aji:NPROVED TRUSS, and Author of a brief Essay upon

~.„Freireenijanes
measure around the body al ave the hip b , and the magni-

Single, and .W 3 35., for a Doabl ss, to be paid by postoffice
order, at the office, Totten -court-road, London, when the
order is given, and the ss will be forwarded in two or
three days. Every pe n afflicted with Rupture should read
Mr. Todd's Essay n Hernia, and judge for himself. It
briefly explains, and illustrates with plates, the nature and the
proper treatment of Hernia, the shape of the Truss, and the
mode of wearing it.
"We have seen this Truss in use. It is an exceedingly sim-
ple clever instrument, and may be worn with extreme ease, and
the best possible effect."—Lancet, July 4th, 1846.
" Mr. Todd's Truss, we think, will supersede those now in
ordinary use. It is extremely simple, requiring no straps or
other auxiliaries to adjust it, and does not weigh more than
three ounces ; and, we understand, it is approved and recom-
mended by the faculty."—Weekly Dispatch.
N.B. Mr. T. has no Agent for .the sale of the Truss, every
one being made to order, and warranted to fit the wearer.
The Essay is sold by Mr. T. Smith, 4, Beaufort-buildings,

the kingdom, free, for three postage stamps. 20,000 Copies are

Safe which brought its tents uninjured out of the burning
mass being the one al ed to below.
Manchester, Augmet 13th, 1817.
GRNTLEME In the late Fire in Market-street, which
entirely gutted e entire block of buildings of which my Ware-
house formed part, I have sincere pleasure in informing you
that my books, together with a quantity of valuable papers,
watches, &c., were preserved uninjured in one of your Fire-
resisting Safes, which I strongly recommend to the public.
" I am your obedient servant,
"THOMAS HAIGH, Woollen Merchant,
" New Brown-street and Market-street.
" Messrs. Milner and son.',
The outside of this Safe was partially melted: the contents
inside unsinged, being steamed (boiled instead of burned) by
the evaporating principle of the Safe. Near to it a large
Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) chambered Safe, full of valuable
Books and Documents before the Fire, was found to contain
nathinp; u and ashes after it !
In the numerous accidental Fires and experimental tests
which Milners Safes have been exposed to—every description
of safe in use—Fireproof (so called) or otherwise have been
burnt out beside them, confirming the recommendation of the
scientific and practical authorities who have tested them, and
the Patentees during seven years' active working of their
patent, on a rapidly extending scale, have spared no pains nor
cost in effecting improvements, by which they are enabled to
pledge themselves at all times to supply the most complete and
secure depositories for Books, Documents, and Valuables • in-
cluding the strongest Wrought-iron Safes, Closets, and Doors
in the World, lined with their unequalled Fire-resisting Cham-
bers. Out of upwards of 20.000 of their Safes in use amongst
the Manufacturing and Commercial Houses of Great Britain—
the class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of
e.iposure to accidental fire have occurred, from which Thomas
Milner and Son select the following as instances, in which they
are of opinion that no other Safe than their own would have
preserved its contents unburnt.
Fire at Mr..J. Blacksller's Ship and Chandlery Store, Spar-
ling-street, Liverpool; a strong and fierce Fire; Safe most
severely burnt outside; contents unsinged.
Fire at 11lessrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders,
Birkenhead; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents off' large Iron Safe and drawers,
standing besides Milners' ; the contents of Milners' uninjured,
and in use now.
Fire at Messrs. Garniss and Co.'s, Park-lane; a very strong
fire • again the contents of Milners' Safe the only thing saved
en ;he premises.
Fire at Plimsaul Brothers', of Plymouth; a very extensivc
and destructive fire; a large Iron Safe covered with brickwork
with double Iron doors burnt out ; Milners' entirely preserving
its contents.
Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow; a great number of Safes and
Closets burnt out ; no books saved throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. S. R. and Thomas Browns', in. Milners'
Safe.
Milners' Fire-resisting Safes, Chests, and Boxes, suitable for
all classes of Buildings, impregnable Locks and Cash Boxes,
at the Works, 50A, Lord-street and Cable-street, and Show-
