SASSAFRAS CHOCOLATE

DR. DE LA MOTTE'S NUTRITIVE, HEALTH
RESTORING AROMATIC CHOCOLATE,
PREPARED FROM THE NUTS OF THE SASSAFRAS TREE.

Sold by the Patentee, 12, Southampton-street,
, London
This CHOCOLATE Strand
contains. the peculiar virtues
of the Sassafras Root which has,,Ween long held in great
estimation, for its purifying and alterative properties. The
aromatic quality (which is ve grateful to the stomach) most
invalids require for bre st and evening repast, to promote
digestion, and to a deft ' cy of this property in the customary
breakfast and supper . ay in a great measure be attributed the
frequency of case indigestion generally termed bilious. It
has been found h ghly beneficial in correcting the state of the
digestive organi, &c., from whence arise many diseases, such
as eruptions'of the skin, gout, rheumatism, and scrofula. In
cases of debility of the stomach, and a sluggish state of the
liver and intestines, occasioning flatulence, costiveness, &c.,
and in spasmodic asthma, it is much recommended.

GREAT FIRE
IN MARKET-STREET, MANCHESTER ;
ENTIRELY CONSUMING A LARGE SQUARE OF WARE.
HOUSES, OFFICES, AND SHOPS.
TN the last great Fire in George-street, Manchester,
1. nine large Houses had their Books burned in Iron Safes,
Closets with Iron Doors, Wrough.tiron Fireproof (?) Safes,
&c. &c. &c. ; and again on the . •ye recent occasion, a great
number of parties have suffer t the same calamity. The only
Safe which brought its co • • nts uninjured out of the burning
mass being the one allu. to below.
" Manchester, August 13th, 1847.
" GENTLEMEN n 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 Woks, 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.

C 2
" 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
nothing but tinder and ashes after it I

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
exposure to accidental fire have occurred, from which Thumps
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. Blackaller's Ship and Chandlery Store, Spar-
ling-street, Liverpool; a strong and fierce Fire; Safe most
severely burnt outside ;_csmteutslinsiriged.

Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers',-the extensive builders,
Birkenhead ; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents of large Iron Safe and drawers,
standing besides Milners' ; the contents of /Miners' 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
on the 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. R. R. and Thomas Browns', in Mailers'
Safe. . _ -

Milners Fire-resisting Safes, Chests, and Boxes, suitable for
all classes of Buildings, impregnable Locks and Cub Boxes,
at the Works, 50A, Lord-street and Cable-street, and Show-
-15,. South John-street, Liverpool.
