MESSRS. THOS. MILNER AND SON.

DEAR SIRS,—In answer to your inquiry, the Fire•resisting
Safe made by you was a very small one ; though exposed to a
tremendous fire, and much injured by large masses of mate-
rials falling upon it, and remaining under the burning mass
several days (from March Ist to March 6th), yet we are glad
to.say the most valuable part of its contents were so little
injured that the writing was easily transcribed.—We are,
dear sir, yours respectfully, RYLANDS and SONS.

EXTENSIVE FIRE IN GLASGOW.
MESSRS. DAVID BOYD AND CO.
GENTLEMEN —At the serious fire in Union-street, yester-
day, by which my counting-house was destroyed, I owed the
preservation of my books to the Milners' Safe in which they
were kept. The contents of a wall safe were totally destroyed
at the same time. You will please send me immediately an-
other " Milner" of the same size as the one I had, being
thoroughly satisfied of their safety, after the test I have just
seen.—l am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,
(Signed) JOHN DODDS.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP MILNERS'
HOLDFAST SAFE WITH GUNPOWDER.
MESSRS. THOMAS MILNER AND SON.
DEAR SIRS,—We beg to acquaint you that last night our
warehouse was entered by burglars, who attempted to blow
open with gunpowder your strong Holdfast Safe, in which we
keep our books and cash (then amounting to 475), and, we
are happy to add, without success.—We are, dear sirs, your
most obedient servants,
(Signed) FORREST and BROMLEY.

GREAT FIRE IN BELFAST.
MESSRS. MUSORAVES BROTHERS.

GENTLVMEN,—At your request I beg to—State, for the in-
formation of the public, that the only property saved from the
late fire in the premises of Thomas S. Major and Co., was that
contained in one of Milners' Patent Safes. From the intense
nature of the fire, and the length of time the Safe was exposed
to the action of the flames, I was fully convinced of the de-
struction of the books and papers it contained ; and feel very
great pleasure in testifying to this extraordinary instance of
their preservation. I may add, that the Safe was placed on
the third story, without any protection, where it remained till
the floor was burned around it, when it fell to the room be •
neath, the-floor of which was likewise destroyed by the fire.—
Yours truly, JAMES S. HUNTER, Executor of the late
Thomas T. Major, of the firm of T.

pRIESTLEY'S FLUID EXTRACT OF THE
FINEST RED JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA.
This most efficient and agreeable preparation of that well-
known and valuable alterative, JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA, is
prepared by a peculiar and scientific method ; and the expe-
rience of many years has fully established the reputation of
this Medicine, as containing more of the virtues of the root
than any other preparation. Its beneficial effects have been
particularly striking in the following complaints : Nocturnal
Pains in the Limbs, Scrofulous Enlargement of the Glands,
Cutaneous Affections, Chronic Rheumatism, &c.; in freeing
the system after a course of Mercury its beneficial effects are
very powerful. It purifies the blood, and by giving to the
cutaneous vessels a healthy and regular action, it removes
that disposition to Erysipelatous Inflammation from which
so many persons periodically suffer; and when taken in the
Spring and Fall of the Year as an alterative Medicine, it will
be found to impart that strength to the constitution which Is
indicated by firmness of flesh, good appetite, and freshness of
the complexion. To persons of a plethoric habit it is most
invaluable, as it thins and promotes a free circulation of the
blood, thereby preventing attacks of apoplexy.
N.B.—The above is in a highly concentrated form, and
superior to any other, a dessert spoonful being equal in
strength to a wine-glass full of most preparations.
Sold in bottles, 45. 6d., 75. 6d., Hs., and 225., at 52, Lord-
street, Liverpool.
