Man acts strangely. Knowing that a current of fresh air is
the very life of his lungs, he stops every cranny to prevent its
admission. Coughs and colds are generally caught by transi-
tion from an over-heated to a cold apartment. This would not
happen if ventilation were properly attended to. Would you,
therefore, wish to provide an effective ventilation, and avoid
the clumsy and dangerous methods generally resorted to, use
Baillie's Patent Glass-slide Ventilator—at once safe, effective,
pleasing in appearance, and easily adapted to any kind of win-
dows ; never known to fail in curing that nuisance—a smoky
chimney—and imperatively necessary where gas is used.

PAINT, specially patronized by the British and other Go-
ost
and Clergy, for out-door work at their country seats.
Anti-Corrosion is particularly recommended as the most duraTh-
e
ble out-door Paint ever invented, for the preservation of every
description of Iron, Wood Stone, Brick, Compo, Cement, &c.
work, as has been proved by the practical test of upwards of 60
years, and by the numerous testimonials (between 300 and 400)
in its favour, and which, from the rank and station in society
of those who have given them, have perhaps never yet been
equalled by any thing of the kind hitherto brought before the
public notice.

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,
IN
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 ve suffered the same calamity. The only
Safe which brought its contents uninjured out of the burning
mass being the one alluded to below.

" Nowise:ter, Acquit 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 evaporating 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, anti Valuables ; in-
, eluding the strongest Wrou Fire-resisting Cham-
bers. Safes Closets, and Doors
