GREAT FIRE

AT THE
GUTTA PERCHA COMPANY'S WORKS,
AND DEFEATED BURGLARIES.

THOMAS MILNER and SON have sincere plea-
sure in communicating to their Friends and the Public
the following new endorsements to the claims of their HOLD.
FAST and FIRE-RESISTING SAFES. The Fire at the Gutta
Percha Company's Works was of the most intense character,
as may well be conceived from the nature of its food, Gutta
Percha, Oil, Naptha, reducing the buildings to a pile of gutted
red-hot walls. The Safe has been most severely tried, as the
letter testifies, and brought its contents out of the Furnace
without a singe upon them.

" Gutta Perclia Company's Works,
" City-road, London, Bth June, 1853.

" Stas,—We consider it only our duty to inform you of the
entire preservation of all the books and papers* contained in
the large safe you recently supplied us with, although exposed
during Sunday last to a fire which destroyed the larger part of
our works. This is the more remarkable, as the intense heat
has in many parts melted the outside of the safe.
" We are of opinion that so successful a vindication of the
merits of your invention cannot, on public grounds, be too
generally known ; and we therefore leave you at liberty to use
this letter in any way you may wish.
" We are, Sirs, your obedient servants,
"THE GUTTA PERCHA. COMPANY.
"HENRY FORD BARCLAY.
"To Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son,
47A, Moorgate-street, City, London."
* Including £5,000 worth of Cash and Bills.

"Scotland-road Mills, Liverpool, Bth June, 1853.
" GENTLEMEN,—Some time back I was indebted to your
strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe for the protection of a
large amount of cash, against the violent and persevering
attempts of burglars at my steam-mills, in Woodstock-street,
and I have now the pleasure of informing you that I have
lately found the same impregnable security in the one I had
last from you for my provision warehouse in Brownlow.lill.
The floor was all trodden over around the safe, as if the thieves
had been at it for many hours, after which they got it out into
the back yard, and as it could not be picked or broken open,
they then filled the key-hole with gunpowder, thinking to gain
admission by explosion i but in which they were again foiled.
"I feel it due to your invaluable safeguards to give you this
testimonial, and shall strongly recommend them to all my
friends. Please send me another of the same size for my house.
" I am, Gentlemen, yours respectfully,
"THOMAS LEICESTER.
"Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son."

LOSS OFFFi7III. A New and Curious Invention connected
with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. Howard ; it
is the introduction of an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIPTION
of ARTIFICIAL TEETH ; fixed without springs, wires, or
ligatures. They so perfectly resemble natural teeth as not to
be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer.
They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very
superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not
require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and
will support and preserve the teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. The invention
is of importance to many persons, and those who are interested
in it, should avail themselves of this New discovery.
MR. HOWARD, SURGEON DENTIST,
17, GEORGE-STREET, HANOVER-SQUARE, LONDON.
At home from eleven till four.
This new method of fixing Artificial Teeth, has obtained the
approbation and recommendation of the following eminent
Physicians and Surgeons :—Sir James Clark, Bart., Physician
to Her Majesty; Dr. Locock, Physician Accoucheur to Her
Majesty; Sir B. C. Brodie, Bart., Sergeant Surgeon to Her
Majesty; Sir D. Davies, Physician to Her Majesty the Queen
Dowager; Dr. Merriman, Physician to Her R. H. the Duchess
of Kent; and numerous other members of the Medical Pro-
fession. _

Those interested in the subject will find this statement of
the superiority of these teeth over all others to be entirely no
