NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

GENERAL POST-OFFICE,
October, 1844.
A S it is not safe to transmit Letters containing Coin or
A
Articles of Jewellery through the Post, Parties hav-
ing occasion to remit small sams in Cash, are recom-
mended to make use of the Money Order Office, where
they will incur no hazard. Money Orders, for Sums not
exceeding Five Pounds, are granted and paid by every
Post Town in the United Kingdom, and by the Chief
Office in St. Martin's-le-Grand, the three Branch Offices,
Charing-cross, Cavendish-street, and the Borough, and
also by the principal Receiving Houses within the Twelve
Mile Circle round the General Post-Office.
Those who may desire to remit Bank Notes or Drafts
payable to Bearer, may Register the Letter on payment
of a Fee of Is. in addition to the postage; in this case the
afest course will be to cut such Notes, &c. in half, send-
ing each half, if possible, by two different Posts. In the
case of Bank Notes or Bank Post Bills being sent, the
Numbers, Dates, and Amounts should' he carefully taken.
Money Orders for any sum not exceeding £2 may be
obtained for 3d. each ; and tor any sum over £2 and not
exceeding £5 for 6d.
With the great convenience thus afforded for transmit-
Vng small Sums at so low a charge, and the power now
given of Registering Letters containing value, it is hoped
the Public will no longer forward Letters of value, except
in one or other of these methods.

PROTECTION FROM ACCIDENTAL OR INCEN-
DIARY FIRES.

London and Birmingham Railway Office,
Euslon Slalion, Bth April, 1844.

am instructed to send the enclosed report of
kJthe results of the public experiments on your Fire-
resisting Boxes and Safes, at the Camden Station of this
Company, which t.as authorised by the Directors to be
made under the immediate superintendence of their own
officers; and to congratulate you on the complete success
of the very severe trials by which you have allowed your
admirable invention to be tested.

I am, sirs, your obedient servant,
R. CREED, Secretary.

MILNERS' NEW PATENT

FIRE-RESISTING DEED, PLATE,

AND CASH

BOXES, BOOK SA FPS, AND GUNPOWDEII.
MAGAZINES, &c., &c.,

WARRANTED TO BEAR MORE HEAT, WITHOUT INJURY
TO THEIR CONTENTS, THAN ANY OTHERS OF EQUAL

DIMENSIONS.

Of 14 graduating sizes, suitable for all purposes, from
30s. to £l4 each ; for additional inner chamber, doubling
the thickness, and trebling the resisting power 50 per
cent. more each size.

The Chambers within Milners' Boxes and Safes con-
tain the best Chemical non-conductor of heat, and Tubes
imbedded therein filled with alkaline fluid, which escapes
into the non-conductor whenever Fire reaches the Box
and heats it to the boiling point, steaming the chambers
and contents, neutralizing in the latent heat of the steam
IMO degrees of heat, keeping down the temperature, and
preventing ignition.
From every pint of fluid in the Chamber is slowly dis-
charged into and condensed in the contents of the Box
upwards of 200 Gallons of Stearn, of more certain avail
in saving the Papers than tons of water thrown into a
burning bu;lding with the same object.
The advantage of this principle, embracing "the exclu-
sive use of any material evolving moisture on the applica-
tion of heat,' over every other description of Box or Safe,
is the advantage that Water has over every Ming else in
quenching Fire.
An Iron Safe of one inch in solid thickness exposed to
red heat will char papers within it in fifteen minutes, and
remain a burning prison for them for hours afterwards.
Milner's Fire-resisting Principle has been investigated,
tested in Red !teat from One to Twelve Hours, in various
thickness, from 1 to 6 inches, and approved by the au-
thorities and scientitic and practical men, in the leading
towns of the three kingdoms.
Under the auspices of the Royal Dublin Society and the
Liverpool Polytechnic Society : see Mr. Samuel Woods,
jun. pamphlet " On the Preservation of Documents from
Fire," &c. &c. &c.

The patentees have certificates from parties whose books
have been preserved by the boxes in fires on their pre-
mises.

In the late fire in George-street, Manchester, nine out
of ten houses lost their ho,ks in their iron safes.
CA UTION.—None are genuine but such as have Milners'
patent plates upon them, with the date " sealed 1840."

FREEMAN'S SWEET ESSENCE OF SENNA.
(The most agreeable Purgative.)

Containing in a highly concentrated fortn, all the active
principle of senna entirely deprived of its nauseating and
griping properties, and rendered so peculiarly pleasant to
the taste, that children will take it with a positive relish.
The extraordinary merit of this medicinal novelty has
obtained for it the dis,inguished patronage of Her Ma-
ksty—the Queen Dowager—rthe following Physicians to
Her Majesty and the Que. n Dowager, Sir C. M. Clark.
Bert., M.D., Dr. Ferguson, and Dr.. Locock—Sir David
Davies, and Dr. Holland—by many Princes, Noble., and
Ffanilies of distinction, by most of the eminent Physicians
and Medical Men in London, who have been for several
years, and now are, in the daily habit of prescribing and
recommending it as the best and safest domestic aperient
for females and children—the aged and delicate—the
nervous—the bilious—the habitually costive, and those
suffering from piles, worms, sickness, or head ache, and
as being particularly adapted for ladies during pregnancy,
and children during dentition.
Impelled by a sense of duty, confideat of conferring a
great national benefit, the proprietor proudly submits it
to the patronage of, a discerning public. assured that a
single trial will convince every one of its inestimable value
as a pleasant, safe, and efficacious domestic aperient, the
Moderate pries of which places it within the reach of every
family. Sold by all respectable Vendors of Medicine, in
Bottles at Is:, 26. 6d., 55., 12s. 6d. and 20s. each.
CAUTION—The great celebrity this medicine has attain-
ed, having induced many druggists in Scotland and Eng-
land to put up for sale, base and worthless imitation, to
the serious injury of the original Preparation. Purchasers
are therefore requested to ask for Freeman's Sweet Es-
sence of Senna, each genuine bottle of which is signed
John Freeman.

TESTIMONIAL.

48, Stamford-►treet,VLondon, August 2, 1844.
Sir,—l have much pleasure in beating testimony to
your unique and elegant preparation of Senna, which
contains in a highly concentrated form, the active princi-
ple of that Valuable Domestic Aperient. I have taken it
out with me twice to India, and haring found it to preserve
the active principle of Senna quite free from fermentation,
I consider it admirably adapted for persons travelling
abroad: and am quite sure, that no person who knew its
value, would ever take a voyage without a supply of your
Sweet Essence of Senna.

I remain, Sir, yours respectfully,
R. MAPLETON, Surgeon.
To Mr. J. Freeman, Blackfrisrs-road, London.
