DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN GLASGOW, MAN-
CHESTER, LINCOLN'S-INN, &c.

MILNER'S " HOLDFAST" and FIRE-RESIST-
ING SAFES are the strongest, best, and cheapest safe-
guard in the world against fire, robbery, and fraud ; 20,084. r
them keep the books, deeds, and cash of the practical men of
Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, &c., who know their superl
ority to any others. Five of them have brought their contents
unscathed out of the ruins of large fires in Glasgow alone this
year, wherein scores of other safes have been burnt out.
Twenty-five offices were burnt out in Lincoln's-inn in January,
in one alone of which the title-deeds of thirty large landed
estates were burnt, which would all have keen preserved in
Milner's Safes. From some hundreds o rtificates, the fol-
lowing is selected, as one out of y instances in which
everything was consumed in t uildings excepting what
Milner's Safe contained :
" Clyde-street derston, Glasgow, May 7, 1849.
" Gentlemen,—At t alamitous fire yesterday morning, by
which our premises d stock of oil, tallow, &c., were totally
destroyed, our b s were preserved in the Milner's Fireproof
Safe, purchas from you. We have great pleasure in thus
bearing testimony to the great efficiency of these Safes.
" CHARLES BOYD and CO."
This Safe was most severely tested; the brass knob and brass
work about the lock were melted off.
" Glasgow, 10th February, 1849.
" Gentlemen,—The books and papers which we had in your
Fire-resisting Safe, which was subjected to a most intense heat
for several hours at the late fire in Gordon-street, on Thursday
last, were wholly preserved—the property saved being of ex-
treme importance to us. We have, therefore, great pleasure
in communicating this fact, deeming your Safes invaluable as
a protection against fire, and an invention with which the pub-
lic cannot be too well acquainted.—We are, gentlemen, your
obedient servants, " KER, DOERING, and Co."
The outside of the above Safe was completely burnt through.
Triumphant Resistance to Robbers:
" Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, Liverpool.
" Gentlemen,—Our Milner's Safe was attempted to be bro-
ken open last night ; but, notwithstanding the great and per-
severing violence with which the robbers have worked at the
door and bask of the Safe (both of which are neaten in aria cut
through the outer plates in numerous places), the lock and
bolts remained true, and saved the contents. You may send
us another Milner's Holdfast Safe, No. 6.
" JAS. RICHARDSON and CO.
" Glasgow, 28th December, 1848."

" Manchester, August 13th, 1847.
"Gentlemen,—ln the late fire in Market-street, which en-
tirely gutted the whole 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., were preserved uninjured in one of your Fire-
resisting Safes. which I strongly recommend to the pubic.—l
am, your obedient servant,
" THOMAS HAIGH,
" Woollen Merchant, New Brawn-street, and Market-street.
" Messrs. Milner and Son."
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 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;
including the strongest wrought-iron safes and closets in the
world, lined with their unequalled fire-resisting chambers.
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, Sperling-
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 an drawers,
standing beside Milner's; the contents of Milner's uninjured,
and in use now.
Fire at Messrs. Garniss and Co.'s, Park-lane: a very strong
fire ; again the contents of Milner's Safe the only things 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 cut; Milner's entirely preser-
ving its contents.
Fire in Queen-street, Glasgow i a great number of safes and
closets burnt out; ne books saved throughout the buildings
excepting Messrs. S. R. and Thomas Brown's, in Milner's
Safe.
Milner's Fire-resisting Safes, Chests, and Boxes, suitable
for all classes of buildings, Impregnable Locks and Cask Boxea.
at the Works, 50A and 54, Lord-street, Liverpool, and 47 to 57,

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS

CURE OF A DISORDERED LIVER AND STOMACH,
WHEN IN A MOST HOPELESS STATE.
Extract e 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'e
blessing, of restoria., me to a state of perfect health, and at a
time when I thought% was on the brink of the grave. I had
consulted several eminent doctors, who, after doing what they
could for me, stated that they considered my case as hopeless.
I ought to say that I had been suffering from a Liver and Sto-
mach complaint of long. standing, which during the last two
years got so much worse that ev y one considered my condi-
tion as hopeless. las a last r ource got a Box of your Pills,
which soon gave relief, an y persevering in their use for
some weeks, together wit rubbing night and morning your
Ointment over my ches and stomach, and right side, I have
by their means alone completely cured, and to the astonish-
ment body who knows me.

CURE OF A CASE OF WEAKNESS AND DEBILITY, OF
FOUR YEARS' STANDING.
Extract of a Letter from Mr. William Smith, el No. 6, Lilt%
Thomas-street, Gibsox-street, Lambeth, dated D. nth
184 g.
To Professor HOLLOWAY.
SIR,-1 beg to inform you that for nearly five years I has ly
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
he done for me. One day being unusually ill and in a dejected
state, I saw your Pills advertised, and resolved to give them a
trial, more perhaps from curiosity than with a hope of beiag
cured; however, I soon found myself better by taking them,
and so I went on persevering in their use for six months, wham
I am happy to say they effected a perfect cure.
