Man acts strangely. Know' at a current of fresh air is
the very life of his lungs stops every cranny to prevent its
admission. Coughs a colds are generally caught by transi-
tion from an over- ed to a cold apartment. This would not
happen if vent' ion 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.

Companies, most public bodies, and by the Nobility, Gentry,

Anti-Corrosion is particularly reco •nded as the most dura-
ble out-door Paint ever invents. it the preservation of every description of Iron, Wood, •: ine, Brick, Compo, Cement, &c.
work, as has been prove. y the practical test of upwards of 60
years, and by the nu., ous testimonials (between 300 and 400)

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,
I nine large Houses had their Books burned in Iron Safes,
Closets with Iron Doors, Wrou ron Fireproof (?) Safes,
&c. &c. &c. ; and again on the ove recent occasion, a great
number of parties have suff the same calamity. The only
Safe which brought its c ents uninjured out of the burning
mass being the one all ed to below.
" Manchester, August 13th, 1847.
"GENTLEMEN n the late Fire in Market-street, which
entirely gutte ie 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 HAIGII, 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 AS'afe 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, and Valuables •, in-
cluding the strongest Wroui;iat-iron Safes, Closets, and Doors
in the World, lined with their unequalled Fire-resisting Cham-
bers. Out of upwards of 20.000 of their Safes in use amongst
the Manufacturing and Commercial Houses of Great Britain—
the class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of
exposure to accidental fire 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. Blackaller's Ship and Chandlery Store, Spar-
ling-street, Liverpool; a strong and fierce Fire; Safe most
severely burnt outside; contents unsinged.
Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders,
Birkenhead ; buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents of large Iron. Safe.lind drawers,
standing besides Milners'; the contents of Marital' uninjured',
and in use now.
Fire at Messrs. Garniss and Co.'s, Park-lane; a very strong
fire; again the contents of Milners 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 brickwork
with double Iron doors burnt out; Milners' 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. R. and Thomas Browns', in Milners'
Safe.
Milners' Fire-resisting Safes, Chests, and Boxes, suitable for
all classes of Buildings, impregnable Locks and Cash Boxes,
at the Works, 50a, Lord-street and Cable-street, and Shoff-
room, 15, South Joimratreet, Liverpool..
