MESSRS. THOS. MILNER AND SON

DEAR SIRS, —ln answer to your inquiry, the Fire-resisting
Safe made by you was a very small one; though exposed to a
tremendous fire, and much injured by large masses of mate-
rials falling upon it, and remaining under the burning mass
several days (from March Ist to March Gth), yet we are glad
to say the most valuable part of its contents were so little
injured that the writing was easily transcribed.—We are,
dear sir, yours respectfully, RYLANDS and SONS.

EXTENSIVE FIRE IN GLASGOW.
MESSRS. DAVID BOYD AND CO.
GENTLEMEN,-At the serious fire in Union-street, yester-
day, by which my counting-house was destroyed, I owed the
preservation of my books to the Milners' Sate in which they
were kept. The contents of a wall safe were totally destroyed
at the same time. You will please send me immediately an-
other " Milner" of the same size as the one I had, being
thoroughly satisfied of their safety, after the test 1 have just
seen.-1 am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,
(Signed) JOHN DODDS.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP MILNERS'

DEAR SIRS,—We beg to acquaint you that last night our
warehouse was entered by burglars, who attempted to blow
open with gunpowder your strong lioldfast Safe, in which we
keep our books and cash (then amounting to £475), and, we
are happy to add, without success.—We are, dear sirs, your
most obedient servants,

GREAT FIRE IN BELFAST.
MESSRS. MUSGRAVES BROTHERS.

GENTLEMEN,—At your request I beg to state, for the in-
formation of the public, that the only property saved from the
late tire in the premises of Thomas S. Major and Co., was that
contained in one of Milners' Patent Safes. From the intense
nature of the fire, and the length of time the Safe was exposed
to the action of the flames, I was fully convinced of the de-
struction of the books and papers it contained ; and feel very
great pleasure in testifying to thig extraordinary instance of
their preservation. I may add, that the Safe was placed on
the third story, without any protection, where it remained till
the floor was burned around it, when it fell to the room be •
neath, the floor of which was likewise destroyed by the fire.—
Yours truly, JAMES S. HUNTER, Executor of the late
Thomas T. Major, of the firm of T. Major and Co.

PAINS IN THE BACK, GRAVEL,
LUMBAGO, P.HEUMATISNI, GOUT, HEADACHE,
NERVOUSNESS, DEBILITY, &c.
DR.DE ROOS' COMPOUND RENAL PILLS (as
their name Renal, or the Kidneys, indicates) have been long
established as a most safe and efficacious remedy for the
above dangerous complaints, Discharges of any kind, and
Diseasesof the Kidneys and organs therewith connected gene-
rally, &c., which, if neglected, frequently end in a lingering
painful death. For Depression of Spirits, Excitement, Dis-
like of Society, Incapacity for Study or Business, Loss of
Memory, Contusion, Giddiness, Blood to the Head, Drowsi-
ness, Sleep without refreshment, Nervousness, and even In-
sanity itself, they are unequalled. Possessing tonic proper-
ties, they agree with the most delicate stomach, strengthen
the digestive organs, increase the appetite, and improve the
general health. They require neither confinement nor change
of diet, and, as experience has amply proved, they will effect
a cure when mercury and all other dangerous medicines have
failed. One Trial will convince the most sceptical of their
surprising properties.

Air. Letellier, Etruria, Potteries.—" Your Renal Pills havt
done wonders with me and others to whom I have recom-
mended them."

H. C., Post-office, Stafford.—" Your Renal Pills are a most
splendid medicine."

:Murphy, 70, Upper Sterin-street, Dublin.—" I never met
the like of them before, they are really a surprising medicine."
T. Webster, Esq.,Sealford, Melton Mowbray.—" Your valu-
able Renal Pills have done good to every one 1 gave them to."
Mr. Thos. Williams, at Mr. Hutchings, baker, King-street,
Chelsea.—" I was persuaded to try your most beautiful Pills,
and am happy to inform you I have received more benefit
from them than from any of the medical men in London."
W. Chartres, Esq., Newport, Mayo.—" I have a degree of
mental energy and vigour such as I did not feel these two
years. My memory is wonderfully improved, so that I can
recollect all the events of each day with the greatest degree of
clearness. It is astonishing how I got opt of such awful suf-
ferings, but I think I owe it altogether to the use of your Pills."
PERSONS GOING ABROAD, CAPTAINS and OTHERS,
cannot store more important articles of health than the above,
which, by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquil-
lizing the Nervous System, will prevent those fatal diseases so
prevalent abroad, as also Sea Sickness and:other complaints
incidental to long voyages and irregular living. No Emi-
grant's Chest can be properly furnished without them, for
when far removed from medical aid, they will find in these
Pills a never-failing restorative.
IMPORTANT.—Some unprincipled Vendors, when asked for
Dr. DE Roos' PILLS, have attempted to foist upon the public
other Medicines or trash of their own compounding, from
which they obtain a larger profit. The GENUINE have the
words, " WALTER DE ROOS, LONDON," in white letters
on a red ground, printed in the Stamp affixed to each box ;
by special direction of Her Majesty's Honourable Commis-
sioners, to protect the Public from Fraud, and to imitate
which is felony.

May be obtained through all Medicine Vendors, ht Is. lid.,
