GREAT FIRE
ENFAIELY CONSUMING A LARGE SQUARE OF I'ARE-
HOUSES OFFICES, AND SHOPS.
- -

TN the last great Fire in George-street,Manchester,
IN
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 above recent occasion, a great
number of parties have suffered the same calamity. The only
Safe which brought its contents uninjured out of the burning
mass being the one alluded to below.

" Manchester August 13th, 1847.
" GENTLEMEN In the late Fire
relarket-street, which
entirely gutted the entire block of bill ings of which my Ware-
house formed part, I have sincerB 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 public.
" I am your ctbedient servant,
n7)IOI4IAS HAIGH, Woollen Merchant,
" New Brown-street and Market-street.
" Messrs. Mil r 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 large
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 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.
rare 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.l, Park-lane; a ♦ery 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'
Safe.

Milners' Fire-resisting Safes, Chests, and Boxes, suitable for
all classes of Buildings, impregnable Locks and Cash Boxes,
at the Works, 50A, Lord-street and Cable-street, and Show-
oom, 15, South John-street, Liverpool.

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 propyletor of the hotel next
floor to Me, had two very bad legs, one with right 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 either one of two alternatives—to have
both legs amputated, or die !—On his way home he met a gen-
tleman in 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 afflicted 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 cured the dreadful complaint, and like-
wise restored her to health.
i 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, Rheum ati sm, 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 greater certainty, and in half the time that
it would require by using the Ointment alone. The Ointment
is proved to be a certain reined), for the bite of Moschettoes,
Sand-flies, Chiegofoot, Yaws, and Coco bay, and all Skin Dis-
eases common to the East and West Indies, and other tropical
climates.
Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Chapped Hands and Lips, also
Bunions and Soft Corns, will be immediately cured by the use
of ,the the Ointment.
