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,
JIL nine large Houses had r Books burned in Iron Safes,
Closets with Iron Doo Vrought Iron Fireproof (?) Safes,
&c. &c. &c. ; and a • on the above recent occasion, a great
number of parti aye suffered the same calamity. The only
Safe which bro t its contents uninjured out of the burning
mass being one alluded to below.
" Manchester, August 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 9uantity:ef 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, VVoollen 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, and Valuables • in-
cluding the strongest Wrought-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 unbumt.

Fire at Mr. J. Blackaller's Ship and Chandlery Store, Spar-
ling-street, Liverpool; a sti ong and fierc 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 and drawers,
standing besides Milners'; the contents of Milners' 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
ea 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 ?Miners'

-Milners' Fire-resisting Safes, Chests, and Boxes, suitable for
all classes of Buildings, itnoregnable Locks and Cash Boxes,
at the Works, 50A, Lord-street and Cable-street, sad Show-
Joika-street, Liverpool. -

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
Copy of a Letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk
Bar, York :

"TO MR. THOMAS PROUT

" 14th Jane, 1847.
SlR,—Having suffered most dreadful] p the last six
years from repeated attacks of the gout, an ceiving no bene-
fit from the best medical advice I couldm tain, I was induced
about six weeks ago to try a box of Matt's Gout and Rheumatic
Pills. When I commenced takinithem, which was in the
afternoon, my feet and elbow ere very much swoollen and
inflamed: I was suffering tlooThost intense agony. I had that
night sound and refreshing' sleep, and awoke in the morning
comparatively free front' pain ; and before I had finished the
box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my gene-
ral health. I have since recommended them to four individuals,
who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and they
all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them.
If you think my case worthy of insertion amongst the many
cures effected by your wonderful medicine, you are at perfect
liberty to publish it.—l am, Sir, yours respectfully,
.1. J. WILSON."
The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with go-at, rheu-
matism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints,
speedy and certain relief.

and invanably prevent tile disease attacking the stomach,
brain, or other vital part.
