SASSAFRAS CHOCOLATE

DR. DE LA MOTTE'S NUTRITIVE, HEALTH
RESTORING AROMATIC,,cHOCOLATE,
PREPARED FROM THE NUTS OF TIMSASSAFRAS TREE.

Sold by the patentee, 12,
Strand, on.
This C H O C OLA T E- ontains the peculiar virtues
of the Sassafras Root, whi has been long held in great
estimation for its purif • g and alterative properties. The
aromatic quality (whic very gratetul to the stomach) most
invalids require for eakfast and evening repast, to promote
digestion, and to a eficiency of this property in the customary
breakfast and s er, may in a great measure be attributed the
frequency of es of indigestion generally termed bilious. It
has. been found highly beneficial in correcting the state of
the digestive organs, &c., from whence arises 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.
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 ab recent occasion, a great
number of parties have suffere e same calamity. The only
State Nvlsiah brought iha ...wit a airard.vtal cant of tho Lursaaarter
mass being the one allud below.
" Manchester" August 13th, 1847.

" GENTLEMEN,he late Fire in Market-street; which
entirely gutted the tire block of buildings of which my Ware-

house iormed pate,' I have sincere *alum 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, '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 largo
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 valuenumerpus 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; 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
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 Milners,
