IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO SING

From Mr. Edward Page, Director of the Choir and Organist
of St. Peter's Catholic Church, Leamington.

Gentleiiien,—Having frequently suffered much from relaxa-
tion of the throat, I have often been obliged to resort to various
preparations ; but since I have had the good fortune to try Dr.
Locock's Pulmonic Wafers, I am now but seldom obliged to
resort to them, for the extraordinary good effects they have
produced are most surprising. Even when the throat appears
to be completely exhausted, and the voice to be nearly gone,
two or three (at most four) will, in the short space of half an
hour or so, completely restore its flexibility and power, and
they do not act as a mere temporary exciting remedy, nor do
they
leave any lassitude after. Having felt the great value of
convinced that
I feel it a duty to generally recommend it, as I am
gene 'led that all persons will find immense benefit from the
T011,4,12.d Persevering use of it. EDWARD PAGE.

_
wsnt of proper Acconintintatitrilfor the Surgical Tr t
meet of Patients arriving from the country.
Obliged to seek lodgings and attendarice where they best
can, they are often exposed to much unnecessary personal
discomfort, and sometimes to serious disadvantages in the
applicatiOn of the remedial means required by their cases.
It is the object of this Institution to obviate these difficulties,
by affording, at a moderate charge, a Comfortable. Residence,
with suitable attendance and conveniences for Patients so
situated; and also for that class among the Poorer Inhabitaqn
of the town, who, though unable from their circumstances to
pay for or provide the necessary attentions at their own houst,s,
are, nevertheless, desirous to contribute in moderation for the
benefits they receive, and are-unwilling either to subject them-
selves to the exposure or companionship they must meet with
in a public hospital, or to endure the reproach of having
sought relief in a gratuitous charity.
Applications for admission to be made to either of the
Surgeous ; or to Mr. THOMAS FE uoix, the Proprietor, at ,68,

HE Proprietors of Foundries, Cotton Factories,
• saw Mills, Corn and Rica Mills, Building and Joiners'
Es blishments, and all others requiring rotary motion, are
respectfully invited to examine PARKER'S PRINCIPLE of
BANDING PULLEYS, which combines a large saving of
rtivepower, with an increased velocity of motion never before
oVtained in limited compass, and may be applied as well to the
ttafirst motion from the engine as to the collateral demands
n p the power, which Is largely saved Ily avoiding the Com-
p ted Bands, Pulleys, and Cog Wheels.
The principle is applied with matchless success to Fans,
Blowers, Lathes, Winnowing and Thrashing Corn, Chopping
Shy, Grinding Malt, Circular Saws, of any required dimen-
sions ,• hilt the most remarkable application of this invention
is to the Portable Circular Sikwoihich 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.

AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP.
FOR CHILDREN CUTTING THEIR TEETH.
VOTWITHSTANDING 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 foundatiou of all the recent
imitations. This invaluably 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
inttammation• 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 w MTLNER'S PATENT FIRE-RESISTING
SAFES.
MILNER v. HARRISON.

SECOND TRIAL AT LAW FOR PIRACY OE MILNER'S PATENT.
HE Defendant, JOHN GERMAN HAl:also/sr, having
- persevered in the sale ~f Safes constructed 6n the princi-
pleof Milner's Pat nt, ii defiance of the verdict found against
f
him in June, 1851, in tile Court of Queen's Bench, and an In-
junction afterwards awarded against, him by the Court of
Chancery (he sold by him since the
pretending. that the Safes
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 Milner'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
dots not appear before you in very advantageous colours from
these proceedings. He bad 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,
namtht weol'ant. that
I d
ande,o o
nthtatsereecoanrdy hasreason been
o n n
given in evidence: you are not bound by it, but you may
rt
at-
tend to it ; and
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-
sionfrom the evidence that has been given.
" You are first cane(' upon to say whether this invention of
.Misiirp. Milner is new. As to wheter it is useful, it seems to
nie tole 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
calsmitybrings the cure, for the heat causes the water to ex-
pand,-antlthen 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 ques-
tion is with regard to the infringement.
"Now the Anfringement seems to rest upon substantially the
same evidenem 'as the infringement on the former trial, when
the action was brought against Mr. 'Jarmo',
." 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 lie calls himself the ' sole proprietor,' operates in the
same way. It seems to me to act precisely the same way as in
D4ither's patent, but, upon that you will form your own judF-
ment. Then if it really has the same effect, and operates in
the same manner, and upon the same principle, it will be for
von 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
year, it was pretended that the Safes then condemned were not
made according to Tann'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. Tann 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 much 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 $ 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. Before buying a Safe, if parties
will look into our works, and see the labour and attention
paid to the manufacture in all its details, they will be less likely
to be IMposed upon by external appearances and fallacious
representations in the very important matter of the selection
of a Safe. " Mturxit's PHcENIX 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 amongst 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 Man'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
vapour contrasted with all others without, that agency. 212
