INSTITUTION FOR THE CURE OF DISEASES

OF THE HEAD, CHEST, STOMACH,
AND BOWELS,
No. 51, ISLINGTON,
BETWEEN CLARE-STREET AND ST. ANNE-STREET.

Attendance EVERY DAY frOM NINE until TWELVE o'clock.
THE Institution for the Cure of Diseases so general and
important as those of the HEAD, CHEST, STOMACH,
and BOWELS, will be found, among other advantages, to
comprise the following recommendations to extensive notice
and support.
Ist.—lt is open every day—and for gratuitous advice to
the Poor, no matter from what Country, Parish, or Religious
denomination they may come ; their claims to attention being
constituted simply and at once by the fact that they are
labouring under ailments for the cure of which they seek
advice.

2nd,—lt is available to the wishes, and will be found to
meet the wants and convenience of respectable Individuals
and Families of the UPPER and MIDDLE CLASSES of the
Commercial and Trading population of Liverpool and its
neighbourhood, when they require the services of a regularly
educated and authorised Physician. Accordingly, to all
such persons, Advice and Attendance may be had on this
reasonable consideration, namely, that the professional remu-
neration or charge will be on a scale suitable to the circum-
stances or rank of the patient. This arrangement will meet
the case of those who cannot afford to give the large fees
usually expected to be paid to a Physician, and will also suit
the condition of others in humbler circumstances whose feel-
ings deter them from seeking the patronage or permission of
Subscribers and others, and then, in addition to loss of time,
applying " as paupers" at the large Hospitals and Dispensa-
ries for Advice artd Medicine for nothing.

'Ur THE INSTITUTION FOR THE CURE OF DISEASES
OF THE HEAD, CHEST, STOMACH, AND BOWELS is open
every day. ADVICE FROM NINE O'CLOCK UNTIL TWELVE
AT NOON. FAMILY ATTENDANCE, AND PATIENTS VISITED

MILNER'S SAFETY BOXES.
RECENT events have awakened so general a feeling of
the momentous importance of securing protection from
fire to Deeds, Records, M.SS., Books and Papers of Ac-
com Gunpowder,
pt, Cash, and all combustible materials,
that THOS. MILNER and SON feel excused in again in-
viting public notice to their Patent Fire-resisting Deposito-
ries. Having submitted their one-chambered Boxes, of one
inch in thickness, to severe trials in the principal towns, they
have received from the authorities of each the most satisfac-
tory certificates of their efficiency for ordinary casualties ;
and being confirmed in opinion by a long course of experi-
ment, that, under suitable modification of chambers and
thickness of boxes, the peculiar principle of their Patent is
capable of affording security under the severest ordeal likely
to occur in calamities of the kind, they respectfully solicit
the consideration of Gentlemen interested in mechanical
science to the subject generally, and investigation into the
pretensions of the various means of security in use, their
own amongst the rest.
M. and S. are prepared to submit their manufactures to
public trial with any others of equal dimensions, whilst their
comparatively moderate cost renders them extensively avail-
able.
The certificate of the satisfactory trial of their Boxes in
Liverpool bears the signatures of the following Gentlemen,
to whom permission of reference is kindly given ,
THOMAS BOLTON. Esq., (ex-Mayor,)
JOHN SHAW LEIGH, Esq., (the Mayor,)
Sir THOMAS BRANCKER,
BARTHOLOMEW PRESCOT, Esq.,
L. GRAHAM, Esq.,
R. FRODSHAM, Esq.,
WM. STOCK, Esq•.
S. WOODS, jun., Esq.
The more recent one below will be interesting to Ship_
owners and Builders, Gunpowder-dealers, &c., and is further
confirmatory of the capabilities of the principle:—
Trial of Milner's Patent Fire-Resisting Principle, as a
Protection of Gunpowder from Fire.
Liverpool, June 20th, 1842.
We have this day witnessed the trial of one of Milner',
Patent Fire-proof Double-celled Gunpowder Magazines, of
twelve inches external, and six inches Internal diameter and
height, filled with highly combustible materials, papers, and
a packet of Gunpowder.
The same was placed in the centre of a fire consisting of
five to six cwt. of coal and a quantity of wood, and remained
therein upwards of three hours, during two-thirds of which
time the magazine was surrounded by a complete furnace of
intense heat.
Neither the inner magazine nor its contents were at all
injured by the fire, nor did they evince any signs of the se-
vere ordeal to which they had been exposed, beyond being
pervaded to the very centre with steam from the alkaline
solution, contained in tubes embedded in the nonconductor
occupying the chamber of each cell.
In proof of the intense heat of the fire, the wood was
wholly consumed, the entire quantity of coal converted into
coke, and the bricks upon which the fire was made were
taken out red hot.
