SASSAFRAS CHOCOLATE.
DR. DE LA MOTTE'S nutritive, health-restoring
AROMATIC CHOCOLATE, prepared from the Nuts of
the Sassafras Tree. This Chocolate contains the peculiar vir-
tues of the Sassafras Root, which has been long held in great
estimation for its purifying and alterative properties. The
aromatic quality (which is very grateful to the stomach) most
invalids require for breakfast and evening repast, to promote
digestion; and to a deficiency of this property in the customary
breakfast and supper may, in a great measure, be attributed
the frequency of cases of indigestion generally termed bilious.
It has been found highly beneficial in correcting the state of
the digestive organs, &c., from whence arise many diseases,
such as eruptions of the skin, gout, rheumatism, and scrofula.
In cases of debility of the stomach and a sluggish state of the
liver and intestines, occasioning flatulence, costiveness, &c.,
and in spasmodic asthma, it is much recommended.

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,
1 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.
" " 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 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 HAIGH, Woollen Merchant,
" New Brown-street and Market-street.
" Messrs. Milner end 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 !

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. BlackaiiePs-Ship and Chandlery Store, Spar-
ling-street, Liverpool; a .stiong and fierc Fire; Safe most
severely burnt outside; contents unsinged.
