GREAT FIRE
IN MARKET-STREET, MANCHESTER ;
ENTIRELY CONSUMING A LARGE SQUARE OF WARE-
HOUSES, OFFICES, AND SHOPS.
IN the last great Fire in George-street, Manchester,
nine large Houses had their Books burned in Iron Safes,
Closets with Iron Doors, Wrought Iron Fireproof (?) Safes,
&c. &c. &c. ; and again on the above recent occasion, a great
number of parties have suffered the same calamity. The only
Safe which brought its contents uninjured out of the burning
mass being the one alluded to below.

Jianchater, August 13th, lg
to Fire in Market-street. w

4 GENTLEMEN

entirely gutted the entire block of buildings of whichm"yiVZ;
house formed part, I have sincere pleasure in informing you
that my books, together with a guantity 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,
" TIMM AS 11 Wnshilan

" Newßrown-itreet 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 1

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-
Closets, and Doors

FluginVhe strongest Wrought-iron' Safe

in sue vvuria, iinea with their unequa►,,._ _um-
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.

Ire-resis

Fire at Mr. J. Blackaller's Ship and Chandlery Store, spar-
ling-street, Liverpool; a strong 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. G- • p

...tarniss and ark-lane; a very strong
fire; again the contents of Inners' Safe the only thing saved
on the premises.

Fire at Plimsaul Brothers', of Plymouth ; a very extensivc
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 Milnere
Safe.

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

" 14th June, 1847

•` SlR,—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six
years from repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no bene-
fit from the best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced
- six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic
When I commenced taking them, which was in the

afternoon, my feet and elbows were very much swoollen and
inflamed : 1 was suffering the most intense agony. I had that
night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in the morning
comparatively free from 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,
" J. J. iiILSON."
--

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheu-
matism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints,

speedy and certain relief,

They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind,
and invanably prevent the disease attacking the stomach,
brain,. or other vital' part.
