" 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., ivere preserved uninjured in one of your Fire-
resisting Safes, which I stro,oly re, —imend to the public.

" I am your obedient servant,
"THOMAS HAIGH, Woollen Merchant,
" New Brown-street and Market-street.
" Messrs. Milner and Son."
The
The outside of this Safe was partially melted: the contents
inside unsinged, being steamed (boiled instead of burned) by
the: evaporatine• principle of the Safe. Near to it a large
Wrought Iron 'Fireproof (?) chambered Safe, full of valuable
Books and Dorm-nemn before the Fire, was found to contain

nothing but tinder Mid 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 Rooks, Documents, and Valuables • in-
cluding the strongest Wrought-iron rifettClosets, and Doors

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 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; Safe most
severely burnt outside; contents unsinged.

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. ' _ _ _

with double Iron doors burnt out; Milners' entirely preserving

THE GREATEST CURES OF ANY MEDICINE
IN THE GLOBE.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.
AMPUTATION OF TWO LEGS PREVENTED

Extract of a Letter dated Roscommon, February 19th, 1847,
from the highly-respectable Proprietor of the Roscommon

Journal.

Sir,—Mr. Ryan, the well-known proprietor of the hotel next
door to me, had two very bad legs, one with eight ulcers on it,
the other with three, they were in such a fearful state that the
effluvia from them was very great. Some time since he made a
journey to Dublin for the purpose of consulting some of the
most eminent professional men, but returned home to his fa-
mily with the choice of eiiher one of two alternatives—to have
both legs amputated, or diel=On his way home he met a gen-
tleman m the coach who recommended the use of Holloway's
Pills and Ointment, which he had recourse to, and was per-
fectly cured by their means, alone.
(Signed) CHARLES TULLY,
_ _ _ Editor and Proprietor of the Roscommon Journal.

To Professor Holloway. -
A CURE OF A DREADFUL AND DANGEROUS CASE OF

_
ERYSIPELAS.
In the following remarkable case the lady had been both deaf
_ and dumb from the virulence of the complaint.
February 19th, 1847.
Mrs. Gibbons, of Tivoli-place. Cheltenham, was for two years
so dreadfully afilleted with Erysipelas that she became (how-
ever extraordinary it may appear) both blind-and deaf. from
the severity of the disease, and during the whole of the time she
was attended by several of the most eminent medical men in
Cheltenham, without receiving any benefit whatever, and, as a
last resource, she tried Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which
in two months perfectly cared the dreadful complaint, and like-
wise restored her to health.
Mrs. Stoyle, the very respectable landlady of the New-
market Inn, Cheltenham, can bear witness to this cure. It can
also be authenticated at the Stationers, No. le, Arcade, High-
street, Cheltenham.
In all Diseases of the Skin, Bad Legs, Old Wounds and'Ul-
cers, Bad Breasts, Sore Nipples, Stoney and Ulcerated Cancers,
Tumours, Swellings, Gout, Rheumatism, and Lumbago, likewise
in cases of Piles ; HolloWay's Pills, in all the above cases, ought
to be used with the Ointment ; as by this means cures will-be
effected with a much geater certainty, and in half the time that
it,would require by using the Ointment alone. The Ointment
is proved to be a certain remedy for the bite of Moschettoes,
Sand-flies, Chiegofoot, Yaws, and Coco bay, and all Skin Dis-
eases common' toilie East and West Indies, and other tropical •
climates.
