SASSAFRAS CHOCOLATE

R. DE LA MOTTE'S NUTRITIVE, HEALTH
D RESTORING AROMATIC CHOCOLATE,
PREPARED FROM THE NUTS OF THE SASSAFRAS TREE.
Sold by the Patentee, 12, Southampton-street,
Strand, London.

This CHOCOLATE 'contains the peculiar virtues
of the Sassafras Root? which has been long held in great
estimation for its purifying and alterative properties. The
aromatic quality (which is very grateful to_the-stomach) most
invalids require for breakfast and evening repast, to promote
'
digestion, and to a deficiency of s property in the customary
breakfast and supper, nay great measure be attributed the
frequency of cases of i4d estion generally termed bilious. It
has been found higldrUeneficial in correcting the state of the
digestive organs, ttc., from whence arise many diseases, sikh
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 abovf'recent occasion, a great
number of parties have suffere e same calamity. The only
Safe which brought its cont s uninjured out of the burning
"lass being the one allud o below. _

house formed part, I have sincere pleasure in informing you
that my books, together with a quantity of valuable papers,

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
'tithing but tinder and ashes after it I
In the numerous accidental Fires and experimental tests
which Milners' Safes have been exposed to—every descriptioie
of SAP 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 compete 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 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. .1. 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 a 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 Mixing
fire ; again the contents of Mantra' Safe the only thing saved
on the premises.
Fire at Plimsaul Brothers', of Plymouth ; a very extensivc
sad destructive tire; a large Iron Safe covered with brickwork
with double Iron doors burnt out ; Milners' entirely preserving
its. contents.
Fire in Queen-street, Glaigow; a great number of .Safes and
Closets burnt out; no books saved throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. S. R. and Thomas Browns, in Milners'
Safe. •
