' CHRIST'S HOSPITAL, LONDON. `WHEREAS, the above-named Gentleman, in his life-time ' enalsled the Governors of this Hospital to pay Annuities of 101. to each of fifty blind persons, in she hope that his example w 001... he followed by other benevolent characters the thrvernors give this public notice, that from the very munifi cent additions made to Mr. Hetherington's original Fund, by deed of gift, and by will, they are now enabled to extend the annuity to upwards of 400 other persons. The Governors give this public notice, that from the 15th Oc tober to the 3d November, in every year, they are ready to issue from the Counting-house of the Hospital, upon th personal ap plication of a Friend*, Petitions for any blind persons duly qua lified. The leading qualifications are stated hereunder; and unless the parties can respectively prove themselves strictly within them, the applications in their behalf will be entirely fruitless: Birth in England, to the exclusion of WalA.and Berwick-upon- Tweed. bra Sch ton! Age, SO years, and upwards. Residence three years, in their present abode, and total Blindness during that period. Those who have ever begged, received alms, or are deemed objects for Parish relief, are excluded from the berelt of these charities, which arc intended" for those who have been reputably brought up, and who want some addition to what they have, to make life more comfortable under the misfortune of Blindness."

For Removing Obstructions from the Surface of the Skin. IT is unnecessary to enumerate the advantages re. suiting to the constitution of every person, by effectually re moving obstructions from the surface of the skin, and thereby keeping free and open the innumerable passages and pores through which nature expels all useless or noxious humours from the vital fluid, and which, being obstructed, arc forced back again into the blood, and become the sources ot• many dangerous diseases. It is therefore a matter of much consequence, as well to prevent hurt ful disorders, as fur the preservation, ease, comfort, and beauty to persons, (however slightly affected), that they should *tea sionally have recourse to the Abstergent Lotion ; but more espe cially it becomes urgently requisite when the effects of obstructioa make their appearance, and break out into pimples, redness, car buncles, or other cutaneous eruptions. The Abstergent Li tion never fails of success with those who give it a fair trial, and as its price evidently thews that no private emolument is sought for by the proprietor, so also may the Public be convinced that nothing but a certainty of its success could induce Dr. SOLOMON to box, rd the good opinion he is honoured with by all raniv, in pre senting them with this Cosmetic, were it not a certain Remedy fur Het petit Complaint, in general.
