DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN GLASGOW, MAN-
CHESTER, LINCOLN'S-INN, &c.
MILNER'S " HOLDFAST " and FIRE-RESIST-
ING SAFES are the strongest, best, and cheapest safe-
guards in the world against fire, robbery, and fraud; 20,000 of
them keep the books, deeds, and cash of the practical men of
Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, &c., who know their supe-
riority to any other others. Five of them have brought their
contents unscathed out of the ruins of large fires in Glasgow
alone this year, wherein scores of other safes have been burnt
out. Twenty-five offices were burnt out in Lincoln's Inn in
January, in one alone of which the title-deeds of thirty large
landed estates were burnt, which would all have been preserved
in Milner's Safes. From some hundreds of certificates, the
following is selected, as one out of many instanees in which
everything was consumed in the buildings excepting what
Milner's Safe contained :

"Clyde-street, Anderston, Glasgow, May 7, 1849.
"Gentlemen,—At the calamitous fire yesterday morning, by
which our premises, and stock of oil, tallow, &c., were totally
destroyed, our books were preserved in the Milner's Fireproof
Safe, purchased from you. We have great pleasure in thus
bearing testimony to the great efficiency of these Safes.
"CHARLES BOYD and Co.
"This Safe was most severely tested, the brass knob and
brass work about the lock were melted off."
"Glasgow, 10th February, 1849.
"Gentlemen,—The books and papers which we had in your
Fire-resisting Safe, which was subjected to a most intense heat
for several hours at the late fire in Gordon-street, on Thursday
last, were wholly preserved—the property saved being of ex-
treme importance to us. We have, therefore, great pleasure in
communicating this fact, deeming your Safes invaluable as a
protection against fire, and an invention with which the public
cannot be too well acquainted.
" We are, gentlemen, your obedient servants,
" KER, DOERINO, and Co.
"Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, Liverpool."
The outside of the above Safe was completely burnt through.
"Triumphant Resistance to Robbers."
"Gentlemen,—Our Milner's Safe was attempted to be broken
open last night ; but notwithstanding the great and persevering
violence with which the robbers have worked at the door and
lack of the safe both of which are beaten in and cut through
the outer plates in numerous places,) the lock and bolts re-
mained true, and saved the contents. You may send us another
Milner's Holdfast Safe, No. 6.
"Glasgow, Dec. 21, 1848. JAS. RICHARDSON and Co."
"Manchester, August 13th, 1847.

"Gentlemen,—ln the late Fire in Market-street, which en-
tirely gutted the whole block of buildings of which my Ware-
house formed part, I hive sincere pleasure in informing you
that my books, together with a qliantity. 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." . . .

In the numerous accidental Fires and experimental tests
which Milner's Safes have been exposed to—every description
of Safe in use—Fire-proof (so called) or otherwise, have been
burnt out beside them, confirming the recommendation of the
scientific and practical authorities who have tested them i and
the Patentees, during seven years' active working of their pa-
tent, on a rapidly extending scale, have spared no pains or cost
in effecting improvements, by which they are enabled to pledge
themselves at all times to supply the most complete and secure
dt.positories for Books, Documents, and Valuables, including
the strongest Wrought-Iron Safes, Closets, and Doors in the
world, lined with their unequalled Fire-resisting Chambers.
Out of upwards of 20,000 of their Safes in use amongst the
Manufacturing and Commercial Houses in Great Britain—the
class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of se-
vere trial in accidental Fires 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. B. Blackaller's Ship Chandlery Store, Spar-
ling-street, Liverpool; a strong and fierce Fire; Safe most
severely burnt outside.
Fire at Messrs..l. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders,
Birkenhead; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents of a large Iron Safe and Drawers,
standing beside Milner's ; 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 Milner's Safe the only thing saved
on the premises.
Fire at Plimsaul Brothers, of Plymouth; a very extensive
and destructive Fire; a large Iron Safe, covered with Brick-
work, with double iron doors, burnt out ; Milner's 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. It. and Thomas Brown's, in Milner's Safe.

Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered

The astonishing success which has crowned the application
of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable
cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining
even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every
other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to tits
attention of the afflicted. . . _

14, Belmont-place. Wandsworth-road, Oct. 26, 1844.
SIR,—I feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffer.
ing acute pains from Sciatica., or severe Rheumatic affection it
the hip-joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to
try your embrocation. and have the pleasure to say that after
three applications I was restored to my usual health ; and, al-
though two years have passed, I have no return of thedisorder.
—I am, Sir, gratefully yours, EDWARD NOYES.

Morleu's Hotel, Strand, 18th August, 1846,

SIRS I have hitherto had a prej name against flaying recourse
to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe
sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried
several of the most eminent Physicians of ,ondon and I'aris, I
was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called
" qerieant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say,
in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion. I felt
the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The irnmedla' e
effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing
slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that wincn was, from its
novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom
rom own. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is
immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce
one to accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I have
not lived in vain.—With many thanks, I am yours,
iIENRI VILLENNEVE.

Well-street, Cripplegate.
SIR,—I have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout
and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free front
pain, and as helpless as an infant : not even a finger could
move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me-
dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that
I might remain months in my deplorable situation.
Fortunately your remedy was made gnown to me, or I might
have been to this day confined to my bed. After cl ose appli-
cation of four days, my troublesome companion e; an to dis-
appear; in a week I was capable of walking about my room,
and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi-
cine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack,
you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient
servant,— D. W. STONE.
