Ineffectual Attempt upon the Strong Room of the London and

London and North Western Railway Company,
Liverpool, May 17, 1853.
Gentlemen,—l have much pleasure in bearing testimony to
the efficiency of the Iron Door and Locks of your make, which
secure the Strong Room at this Office, and which completely
baffled the efforts of one or more burglars to get at the money
chest on the night of Thursday last, although it is evident
that considerable force was used to break open the door.
I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,
Messrs. Chubb and Son, GEORGE PALMER.
From Mr. Otway, Supe, intendent of Police, C Division.
8, Great Vine-street, M ay 3, 1853.

one of your Locks on the street door of toy house prevented
my being robbed last night. The thief tried to open it, but
not succeeding. has so damaged it that I have sent it to you
for inspection, and shall feel obliged if you will have it re-
paired.-1 am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,

GREAT FIRE AT THE GUTTA
PERCHA COMPANY'S WORKS, AND DEFEATED

BURGLARIES.
THOMAS 'MILNER and SON have sincere pleasure in
communicating to their Friends and the Public the following
new endorsements to the claims of their HOLUFAST and
FIRE-RESISTING SAFES. The Fire at the Gutta Percha
Company's Works was of the most intense character, as may
well be conceived from. the nature of its food. Gutta Percha,
Oil, Naptha, reducing the buildings to a pile of gutted red-hot
walls. The Safe has been most severely tried, as theletter
testifies, and brought its contents out of the Furnace without
A singe upon them. _ _ -

" Gutta Percha Company's Works,
" " City-road, London, Bth June, 1853.
St as,—We consider it only our duty to inform you of the
entire preservation of all the books and papers* contained in
the large safe you recently supplied us with, although exposed
(luring Sunday last to a fire which destroyed the larger part of
our works. This is the more remarkable, as the intense heat
has in many parts melted the outside of ie safe.
" We are of opinion that so successful a vindication of the
merits of your invention cannot, on public grounds, be too
generally known ; and we therefore leave you at liberty to use
this letter in any way you may wish.
" We are, Sirs, your obedient servants,
"THE GUTTA PERCHA COMPANY.
" HENRY FORD BARCLAY.
"To Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son,
47A, Moorgate-street, City, London."
* Including £5,000 worth of Cash and Bills.

"Scotland-road Mills, Liverpool. Sth June, ISM
"GENTLEMEN,—Some time back I was indebted to you'
strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe for the protection of a
large amount of cash, against the viclent and persevering
attempts of burglars at my stegm-mills, in Woodstock-street,
and I have now the pleasure of informing you that I bave
lately found the same impregnable security in the one I bad
last from you for my provision warehouse in Brownlow hill.
The floor was all trodden over around the safe. as ifthe thieves
had been at it for many hours, after which they got it out into
the back yard, and as it could not be picked or broken open,
they then filled the key-hole with gunpowder, thinking to gain
admission by explosion but in which they were again foiled.
"I feel it due to your invaluable safeguards to give you this
testimonial, and shall strongly recommend them to all my
friends. Please send me another of the sane size for my house.
"I am, Gentlemen, yours respectfully.
"THOMAS LEICESTER.

WOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY.—
PATRONISED BY THE FACULTY.
'The rapidly-increasing sale of this invaluable Medicine is a
convincing proof of its efficacy. The Proprietor can confi
dently recommend it in all cases of Coughs, SoreTliroats,
'Hoarseness, Loss of Voice, and Weakness of the Cheat and
Lungs, as well as for the relief and ultimate cure of long-
standing Asthmatic Affections, which have offered resistance
to the most approved remedies. Being entirely free from all
anxious ingredients, and beneficial to the system generally, it
asay be taken by persons of all ages with perfect safety; for
•wlislet powerful to heal and give relief to the chest and throat,
and to subdue and eradicate cough, its tendency is to cool and
purify the blood.
The following are a few of the many thousand cures yearly
effected by WOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY:—
Surprising Cure of a Cough of seven years' iteration, after
She best medical advice had failed.—Plymouth, Foundry,
Plymouth, Devon, March 22, 1850.—T0 Mr. Woolley,—
Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to yourself and the public to
inform you of the great benefit I have derived from your Pec-
toral Candy. I have been troubled with a severe cough for
the last seven years, and although I have bad the beat
medical advice, I could obtain no permanent relief, until I
fortunately tried your Candy, and after taking two small
boxes, I find myself free from cough. You have my permis-
sion to give publicity to this statement.-1 am, sir, yours, g:c.,
JOHN EDMOND MARE.
Curs of a Cough of four years' standing.—Chatham.
April 18th, 1850. —To Mr. Woolley,—Dear Sir,—Mrs.
Chiseman, of Garden-street, Brompton, has been cured of
a cough of four years' standing, by taking one box of your
Pectoral Candy, and is desirous of expressing her gratitude,
in order that others similarly afflicted may obtain the same
benefit. Please send me three dozen of the large boxes for
ber brother to take out to the Mauritius with him next week.
I can also add my testimony that, from the many cases I
1) Eve seen of its decided efficacy, I am persuaded it stands
iaarivalled as a general cough medicine.—Yours truly,
HENRY WATTS, Chemist. Chatham.
Extraordinary Cure of a case of Asthma of ten years'
dmation.—Redditch, 'Worcestershire, March 17th, 1851.
par,-1 have the pleasure of informing you of the cure of a
alster of mine of Asthma of ten years' duration, by your Pec-
lend Candy.--I am, yours truly,
