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,
I 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 suirered 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 entireblock 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 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 uneaualled Fire-resisting Cham-
bers. Out of upwards of 20,000 of their Sates 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.
Fire at Mr. J. Blackaller's Ship and Chandlery Store, Spar-
ling-street, Liverpool; a strong and fierc Fire; Site most
severely burnt outside • contents unsinged.
lwe at Messrs. J. and W. Walkers', the extensive builders,
Birkenhead; buildings entirely gutted, everythinv burnt in
them, including the contents of large Iron Sate an.,, &ewers,
standing besides Milners'; the contents of Milners' uninjured,
n.l in use now.
_ _

fire at Messrs. Garniss and Co.'s, Park-lane; a very strong
re; again the contents of Milners' Safe the only thing saved
on 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
Safe.

SANATORY REFORM.

TO THE NOBILITY, CLERGY, GENTRY AND INHA-
BITANTS GENERALLY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM,

WHILE much may be clone by the Legislature to
raise the health of Society to its highest
.possible stan-
dard, the attainment of this desirable object is much more
dependent upon the cultivation of individual health. The
welfare of the social whole, is made up of the welfare of its
parts. A becoming attention to personal health, then, is an
important means of advancing the great cause of Sanatory
Reform ; and this attention cannot be more beneficially directed
than to the correction of all irregularities in the functions of the
Digestive organs, and to the removal of the first symptoms of
the many dangerous and fatal disorders which cut short, and
render painful, the existence of man. These objects can only
be attained by the use of medicinal agents ; and we respectfully
inform you that we are the proprietors of one which, for twenty
years, has been most celebrated.
MOXON'S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN APERIENT
is the most agreeable and efficient medicine ever discovered,
containing all the properties of the best Saline Purgatives, with
the palatable qualities of a glass of SODA WATER. Pleasant
from its effervescing form, febrifuge in its influence on the
stomach and system, certain in its operation on the bowels,
whenever a purgative is required, this elegant preparation
is the best that can be used.

It is especially adapted for the relief of Habitual or Casual
Costiveness, Bilious Affections. Indigestion, Heartburn, Pains
in the Head, Lowness of Spirits, Nausea, Irritation of the
Stomach and Bowels, Piles, Fistula, the effects of excess either
in eating or drinking, &c., and, by its occasional use during
the summer months, the prevention of those serious dis-
orders, Cholera, Diarrhsea, and Dysentery.
Thousands of those who, from habits of life, or hereditary
constitution, are subject to that painful and, in the end, dan-
gerous disorder, the GOUT, have found astonishing relief from
the use of this preparation. If taken I egularly, its cooling,
antacid, and corrective properties will altogether prevent the
accession of this disorder ; and, if taken during the fit, will
speedily relieve the pain and limit its duration. Many Medical
Authors of great celebrity. have recommended it for this pur-
pose. Extracts from their works, and many other testimo-
nials, are contained in the bill wrapped round each bottle.
Visitors to Harrowgate, Cheltenham, Leamington, Bath, and.
other Spas, find it to be of great service in assisting the opera-
tion of the waters. _ _ _

It is sold in bottles at 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and Ils., the latter
containing five of the first size.
We also prepare a concentrated form of the celebrated
_ _" COMPOUND DECOCTION OF SARSAPARILLA"

of the London Pharmacopoeia, which we declare to contain all
the alterative, antiscorbutic, and restorative properties of that
decoction, in an enduring and portable shape. It is sold in
bottles at 4s. 6d., 125., and 12s. ; equal, respectively to 6, 16,
and 32 pints of the London Decoction.
All respectable Medicine Vendors sell our Medicines, and we
undertake to forward any quantity amounting to 20s. or more,
to any part of the Kingdom, carriage free, on receipt of a
Postoffice Order for the amount.
We remain, your obedient Servants,
BENJ. MOXON and SONS, Chemists, Hull.

Observe that the Signature of the proprietor, "G. C. Serjeant,"
is written on the Government Stamp.
SERJEANT'S LOTION, the only effectual Remedy
against Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, Sciatica, and Lum-
bago. Sold by the Proprietor, G. C. SERJBANT, No. 7, Le-
velPs-court, Paternoster-row, London; and by all Vendors of
Medicine. Price 2s. 9d. per Bottle.
This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat-
tended with the least danger or inconvenience; hundreds have
experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first
introduced; and such are the properties of this invaluable
Specific that persons labouring under the most distressing'
Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered
thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been relieved
in a few hours.

The astonishing success which has crowned the application
•f this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable
cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining
even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every
other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to tie
attention of the afflicted.

Amongst many which are being daily receired are thefollow-
ing testimonials: ,

Well-street, Cripplegate.
SIR,—I have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout
and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from
pain, and as helpless as an infant: not even a finger could I
move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me-
dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that
I might remain months in my deplorable situation.
Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might
have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli-
cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis-
appear; in a week I was capable of walking about my room,
and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi-
cine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack,
you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient
servant,— D. W. STONE.

14,13elmont-place,TVandsworth-road, Oct. 26, 1844.
SIRS feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffer-
ing amt.' pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection in
the hip joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to
try your embrocation, and have the pleasure to say that after
three applications I was restored to my usual health ; and, al-
though two years have passed, I have no return of the disorder.
—I am, Sir, gratefully yours, EDWARD NOYES.
Morleo's Hotel. Strand,lBth August, 1846.
SIR,—I have hitherto had a prejudice against having recourse
to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe
sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried
several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris I
was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called
" Serjeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say,
in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, I felt
the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate
effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing
slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that which was, from its
novelty, greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom
rom Dam. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is
immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce
one to accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I have
not lived in vain.—With many thanks 1 am yours,
HENRI VILLENNEVE.
