MILNERS'S "HOLDFAST" AND FIRE•RESISTING SAFE,
the Strongest Safeguard against robbery and Fire.

Early last year, Messrs. Wm. Watson and Co., (late Watson
Brothers) applied to Thos. Milner and Son to construct for them
one of their strong Holdfast Safes or Chests, to contain 10.000
collars in silver, for its safe conveyance over the mountains

from the mines to Tempico. The gentleman writing for the
Safe was at the time lying confined to his bed, from a bullet
and two bayonet wounds he had received in an attack of the
Mexican robbers on a valuable convoy, in which the Safe he

then used was broken up, ana piunaerea or a large amount or
specie. The Safe and Waggon constructed for it were exhi-
bited at our works, and to several Liverpool houses, and met
with great approval from several of our engineers and practical
men, and doubtless will be in the recollection of the public;
and we have great pleasure in announcing that we have re-
ceived the following polite and unsolicited note from Mr. Wat-
son, who has since given us permission to publish it :

Our Wrrks are the most extensive and complete of

(upwards of 100, assisted by the most approved and powerful
machinery), than all the Safemakers in England together—a
Lancashire Workshop well worth looking over. Its whole
operations—from the cutting up and working of the Wrought-
iron Plates and Bars, from the tickness of :half-a-crown to that

Safes—the filling of their chambers with the Fire-resisting
Materials—the arrangement if their powerful Hinges, Bolts,
and impregnable Locks—altogether arc well worthy the study
of the mechanic and the man of science.
The Fre-resisting reputation of Milner's Safes is founded
ur experiments of scientific men, and facts; by the former
ti ir superiority to others has been proved; and something
b ter than the merely negative fame of never having been
tried is elicited from the following among hundreds of in-
stances:—

WHEN IN A MOST HOPELESS STATE.
Extract of a Letter from Mr. Matthew Harvey, of Chapel Hall,
Airdrie Scotland, dated the 15th of January, 1850.
To Professor HOLLOWAY.
SlR,—Your valuable Pills have been the means, with God's
blessing, of restoring me to a atafe of perfect health, and at a
time when I thought I was,afi the brink of the grave. I had

could for me, stated t t they considered my case as hopeless.

mach complaint long stai.dinr, which during the last two
years got so much worse that every one considered my coridi-

which soon gave relief, and by persevering in their use for
some weeks, together with rubbing night and morning your
Ointment over my chest and stomach, and right side, I have
by their means alone got completely cured, and to the asto -

CURE Of A CASE OF WEAKNESS AND DEBILITY, Of
FOUR YEARS' STANDING.

Thomas-street, Gibson.-street, Lambeth, -dated December
12th, 1849.
To Professor HOLLOWAY.

Sts,—l beg to inform you that for nearly five years I hardly
knew what it was to have a day's health, suffering from extreme
weakness and debility, with constant nervous headaches, gid.

diness, and sickness of the stomach, together with a great
depression of spirits. I used to think that nothing could
benefit me, as I had been to many medical men, some of whom
after doing all that was in their power, informed me that they
considered that I had some spinal complaint beyond the reach
of cure, together with a very disordered state of the stomach
and liver, making my case so complicated that nothing could
be done for me. One day being unusually ill and in a dejected

state, I saw your Pills advertised, w —auived to give them
trial, more perhaps from curiosity than with a hope of being
cured; however, I soon found myself better by taking them
and so I went on persevering in their use for six months, whe
I am happy to say they effecter'

" Gentlemen,—Our Milner's Safe was attempted t• be bro-

severing violence with which the robbers have worked at the
door and back of the Safe (both of which are *eaten in ano cut
through the outer plates in numerous places), the lock and
bolts remained true, and saved the contents. You may send

In the numerous accidental fires and experimental tests
which Milner's 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 etrecfing improvements, by which they are enabled to
themselves at all times to supply the most complete
depositories for books, documents, and valuables;

Out of upwards of 20,000 of their safes in use amongst the
manufacturing and commercial houses in Great Britain—the
class best able to appreciate their value—numerous cases of
severe trial in accidental fires 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. B. Blackaller's Ship Chandlery Store, Spading.
street, Liverpool : a strong and fierce fire; safe most severely
burnt outside ; contents unsinged.
Fire at Messrs. J. and W. Walker's, the extensive builders,
Birkenhead: buildings entirely gutted, everything burnt in
them, including the contents of large iron safe and drawers,
standing beside Milner's; the contents of Milner's uninjured,

•
and in use now.
Fire at Messrs. Garniss and Co.'i, Park-lane : a very strong
fire ; again the contents of Milner's Safe the only things saved
en the premises.
Fire at Plimsaul Brothers, of Plymouth : a very extensive
and destructive tire; a largeiron safe, covered with brickwork,
with double iron doors, burnt out; Milner's entirely preser-

ving its contents.
Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow: a great number of safes and
closets burnt out; no books saved throughout the buildings
