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 age 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 .e 475), and, we
are happy to add, without success.—We are, dear sirs, your
most obedient servants,
(Signed)

GREAT FIRE IN BELFAST.
MESSRS. MUSORAVES BROTHERS.
GE NTLEME N,-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. Major and Co.

PRO BONO PUBLIC°. -- WOOLLEY'S I
VEGETABLE ANTIBILIOUS AND FAMILY APE-
RIENT PlLLS.—These Pills having stood the test of nearly
bait a century, the present proprietor has been induced to
bring them more prominently before the public, feeling
assured that they only require to he tried to prove their very
great superiority as a family medicine over the majority in
use at the present day. They are more particularly recom-
mended for the following complaints, viz., indigestion, loss of
appetite, flatulency, acidity, heartburn, headache, giddiness,
dirtiness of sight, costiveness, all bilious complaints from
whatever cause, cutaneous eruptions and impurity of the
b:ood generally. For correcting the system after indulging
too freely in the luxuries of the table they will he found
leminently successful, and where the syst .m is suffering from
excess of any kind they are very efficacious. As a general
Family and Antibilious Medicine, Woolley's Pills are acknow-
ledged to be one of the most valuable preparations ever intro-
s:lnce& They contain no mercury, antimony, or any delete-
rious mineral or drastic purgative, but are composed entirely of
kerbs of a medicinal nature which act directly on the stomach
and liver, freeing them from the various disorders to which
they are subject. To Emigrants to all parts of the world, but
more particularly if leaving a ole ate or cold climate for a
tiot one (which will almost -in mria(br be found to. affect the
bilioussyst(m) these pills areva invaluable. All about to un-
dertake a sea voyage will find thetlie best preventive to sea
slickness; and, if taken according to directions,. they at
the same time prepare the system to resist any injurious
.effects incident on change of climate.
The following are selected from amongst the many thousand
cures yearly effected by Woollesi's Antibilious Pills :—Mr. E.
ALIAC in writing Mr. ds under date November 16,

ANOTHER CURE OF CONSUMPTIVE COUGH.—Extract of
a letter front Mr. Thomas Dean, 150, Scotland-road, Liver-
pool.—Gentle.nen,—l have great pleasure in communicating
to you a case (among many) which came under my own
observation. A. lady, who I can refer to, in her assiduous
attendance upon her husband during a long and fatal illness,
caught cold, and not having taken care of herself, it settled
upon her lungs. She was troubled with a dreadful cough,
and every symptom of consumption. She applied to her
medical man, but did not obtain any relief; when, upon the
recommendat on of a friend, she tried Dr. Locock's Wafers,
which, from the commencement, eased her cough, and by
continuing them she is perfectly cured. THOMAS DEAN.
CURE OF A FOURTEEN YEARS' ASTHMATIC COUGH.—
I, Thomas Carter, Egremont, Cheshire, had an asthmatic
cough for fourteen years; nothing ever gave me relief until I
commenced taking Dr. Locock's Pulmonic Wafers, three
boxes of which have entirely cured me.
(Signed) THOMAS CARTER.
Witness, Mr. George Howell, Chemist, Dale .street, Liverpool.
RAPID CURE OF COUGH AND DIFFICULTY OF BREATH-
ING.—Sir,—I write to inform you of the great benefit I have
received from taking Locock's Wafers, which you recom-
mended to me. I was so much oppressed at my chest that
when I lay down a coughing fit came on with such violence
that I have often thought I should not live to see the morn-
ing; but now I can sleep a whole night without coughing,
after having taken only two boxes of wafers.
