BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT TO HER MAJESTY AND ALL

THE ROYAL FAMILY

SCHWEPPE'S SODA AND POTASS WATERS,
AND &RATED LEMONADE.

THE continued preference of the Public for the above
celebrated preparations (notwithstanding the low price
at which imitations are rendered), so abundantly proves
their superior quality, that it only remains for the manufac-
turers to express their acknowledgments, and to caution
consumers against an imposition frequently practised by un-
principled persons filling SCHWEPPE'S bottles with a
spurious composition, and passing it off as SCHWEPPE'S
manufacture. None are genuine without a label represent-
ing the name of their firm.
SCHWEPPE'S LIQUID MAGNESIA.
This elegant solution is produced by the aid of their power-
ful machinery skilfully directed, and consists of the purest
distilled water, and the best carbonate of magnesia. This
invaluable alkali in the fluid form is so rapidly superseding
its use in the solid state for cases of Gout, Gravel, Diseases

of Children, Sea Sickness, &c., avoiding, as it does, the in-
jurious tendency of the latter to lodge and accumulate in the
bowels, that the Public attention cannot be too often directed
to the source where they may obtain the preparation in the
highest state of perfection. Manufactured at 51, Berners'-
street, London ; and sold, wholesale, at their branch manu-
factories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby, and at the Lon-
don Patent Medicine Houses.
Export orders manufactured especially for Warm Climates.

" Liverpool, May 24, 1841.
" We, the undersigned, having, this day, witnessed the
testing of one of Milners' Patent Fire-proof Boxes, by its
having been placed in a large fire, consisting of wood and up-
wards of six hundred weight of coal, for the space of two
hours and twenty minutes, do hereby express our conviction,
that the fire-proof boxes manufactured by them are a perfect
security in all cases of ordinary fire. The box was filled with
commercial and other books, papers, parchments. and deeds,
(one of which, of the 16th Henry VIII., had five large thick
seals appended to it,) and within an inch of the cover, seve-
ral Bank of England notes ; and, previously to being closed,
was submitted to the examination of J. S. Leigh, Esq., R.
Frodshatn, Esq., L. Graham, Esq., and others present. The
whole contents in the box being taken out of the fire and
opened in our presence, were found to be in a perfect state of
preservation, the seals attached to the deed above-mentioned
not being in the slightest degree injured.
" This certificate is written on the deed of 16th Henry
VIII., above mentioned, which was submitted to the test.
