TO MOTHERS.

JEPSON'S BALSAMIC SOOTHING SYRUP,
for Children Cutting their Teeth, is an invaluable domestic
remedy for mitigating the sufferings of Infancy at that perilous
period, perfectly safe in its application, and so pleasant to the
taste that no child will dislike it. It gives immediate relief in
those sudden paroxysms of pain which so frequently produce
alarming consequences, and the regular application of it allays
the irritation and inflammation in the gums, soothing and
tranquillizing the system, and thus warding off serious and
often fatal results. Sold in Bottles, at Is. Lid. and 2s. 9d. each ;
the larger size most advantageous to the purchaser.
JEPSON'S TEETHING POWDERS, prepared from the pre-
scription of an eminent Physician in extensive practice, are
admirably adapted to regulate the bowels of Infants when out
of order, and to remove that irritability of the system conse-
quent upon teething, which so often renders an Infant uneasy
and fretful, and predisposes it to fever and convulsions. Their
action is mild and gentle, neutralizing the causes of disorder
in the stomach and bowels, determining a salutary perspiration
to the skin, and restoring the bowels to their natural and
healthy condition, whether in a confined state or unduly relaxed.
N.B. As these Powders contain neither Calomel nor Anti-
mony, the most timid Mother need be under no apprehension
in giving them to the tenderest Infant. They are perfectly safe
and highly beneficial.
Sold in Packets at Is. lid. and 2s. 9d. each. The latter con
taining three of the former.
The Balsamic Soothing Syrup and Teething Powders may
also be bad in boxes, containing a small bottle of the Syrup and
a small Packet of Powders, at 25., or the larger size of each at
4s. 6d., thus effecting a considerable saving to purchasers.

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,
I
nine large Houses had their Books burned in Iron Safes,
Closets with Iron Doors, Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) Safes,
&c. &c. &c. ; and again on the above recent occasion, a great
number of parties have suffered the same calamity. The only
Safe which brought its contents uninjured out of the burning
mass being the one alluded to below.
" Manchester, August 13th, 1847.
" GENTLEMEN In the late Fire in Market-street, which
entirely gutted the 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 evaporatine, 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 !
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 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. Blackaller's Ship and Chandlery Store, Spar-
ling-street, Liverpool; a stiong and fierce Fire; Safe most
severely burnt outside; contents unsinged.
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 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
on thevremises.
Fire at Plimsaul Brothers', of Plymouth ; a very extensive
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.

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-
oom, 15, Sortth John-strmte. Liverpool.
