MOST IMPORTANT TESTIMONIAL OF LIEUT. , MASTERS, H.P. LATE OF THE ROYAL NEW 'OUNDLAND VETERAN COMPANIES, (CERTIFICATE.) St. John's, Newfoundland, 12th March, 1838.

Masters, R.V.C., and to report accordingly, we, the undersigned, Staff Officer and Civil Practitioner, forming the Board authorised by that order, after a strict examination of the case of Lieut. Masters, Consider him as entirely unfit for militart,ituty. Lieut. Masters has for several years been afffictedirith Rheumatism Gout, which has produced serious functionary derangements of his stomach, liver, and other visce ra , an d fi nally g i ven !late to i n fi rmity, weakness, and enlargement of the articula "cms, especially of the ancle joints ; his general health and constitution is much impaired, and therefore, in our opinion, he is incapable of further service. (Signed) ANDW. FERGUSON, M.D., Staff-Assist.-Surg. EDWARD KIELLY, Surgeon. LETTER OF LIEUT. MASTERS TO MR. PROUT, 229, STRAND, LONDON. Hawley, near Bayskot, 131/i Jan., 1840. Sig,—Considerin g that the public would be greatly bene fitted by the publication of the extraordinary benefit which I have derived by taking Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, I herewith send the particulars of my case, and the Medical Certificate by which I was invalided. I was first attacked With Rheumatic Gout in 1826, from which period to 1833 I Was under the treatment of the late Drs. Rod, Horner, and Jacobs, as well as by the present Dr. Da v i s , a ll of Hamp stead. From 1833 to 1838 I was at St. John's, Newfound land, doing duty as a Subaltern in the Royal Veteran Com- Panics, where I suffered most severely, and was under the Care of Surgeon Huston, R. V. C., Staff Assistant-Surgeon P erguson, and Mr. Shea, private practitioner there, without being able to prevent the most violent fits of the gout three °r four times annually, which becoming so bad caused the Garrison Order for the Medical Board, as before named. About the middle of last February and the whole of March 111 Y sufferings were dreadful ; in fact, I was unt6le to move tithout being carried ; when Major Birch, of Crondale, near arnhani a Magistrate of this County, kindly commiserating I °Y situation, called on me for the purpose of taking my 4 ffidavit that I might receive my half-pay ; and seeing me in 8 ° miserable a state, advised me to try Blair's Gout and rheumatic Pills, saying, although not gouty himself, he 411 ew several who had derived benefit from them. I had Previously been advised by a then neighbour, Mr. Fedgent, of Aldershot, to try them, but I declined until the Major r ec ommended them. I commenced by taking them accord- I lig to the directions ; and, after takinc , six pills, found a ces sation of all pain. and the remainder of the box effect ua ll y se ttled that tit. I have since had several attacks, but as soon 48 1 feel the least sensation of the disease I take the pills, ''llich have at once removed all symptoms. I may also men 'l°4 that the chalk which had formed on my ears has disap- Peared, and where it formed in my fingers is decreasing. I ave ceased to have those very weakening perspirations to Which I was subject before trying the pills. Were you to print my case, and appoint an Agent in St. tt) , ° , ll fl's Newfoundland, where my sufferings were known, „,`Lo where there are so many afflicted with Rheumatic Gout, 3 ° 4 Would vastly increase the sale of this valuable Medicine.

Mr. S. considers it a duty incumbent upon himself to correct and supersede an erroneous imptession which some few persons unacquainted with his system have imbibed, as much probably from prejudice as a disinclination, that his mode of teaching savours too much of the stiff military school; to which he thinks it only necessary to advert (and it is with a feeling of proud consciousness) to his long established reputation, conferred by the patronage of most of the first families in the town and neighbourhood, as also many distnguished foreigners, from many of whom he has received written commendatory acknowledgments, as well of the excellence of his peculiar system, as his unwearied zeal and attention to his pupils.

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS. T II E accounts lately received from Macao, brought intelli gence of the English having been totally expelled from China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendent in person, and Chinese men of war; in other words, China is at war with E ng l and. And the questions upon which the two countries are now at issue being of ``such difficult adjust ment as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro bable, that any more teas can be obtained from China for a very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of that article has taken place. Since June last, common black teas have risen Is. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d. per lb. ; fine black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up to this mo ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise, however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding's HOW QUA'S MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of 6s. 901. per lb., being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when the commonest teas, since June, have advanced ls. 9d. per lb. HOWQUAPS SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold, for the present, at 9s. Pd. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea, is fetching, wholesale, 95. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter catties in like proportions. Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no probability of the trade opening with that country; for, at the least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable tea iu Great Britain will be exhausted before that period, there is little doubt but tea will advance daily. These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUN POWDE R,in Chinese Catty Packages. N.B.—The signature of " Captain Jose RHODES PID DING" is upon every genuine package. GEO. CARLYLE, Repository, 38, Bold-street, Sole Agent for 'LIVERPOOL. Bolton G. J. French, Silk Mercer.

Dr. ANDREWS also recommends its use as a preventive. (See his report when in Sunderland, published in the Times, Cheltenham Journal, a n d B r iti s h T raveller, in Nov. 1831.) He says, " the herbaceous quality of the snuff had such effect on the stomach, as well as the nerves of the head, from the tenacious sympathy of the membrane of the nose with the nervous system, that Grimstone's Eye Snuff, when taken frequently, must prevent Any contagion entering the system, and recommends its universal adoption.

But read the following : From the John Bull, Gth May, 1839.—We copy the 'fol lowing from the Cheltenham Journal, being struck by its re ference to that eminent and successful oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., whose opinion touching the subject of which he treats will be read with interest. The discovery of Mr. Gritnstone is simple, gentle, and certain, and by its unfailing influence ou the nervous fabric of the head, possesses the un questionable power of relieving, assisting, and prolonging the sight even to extreme old age.—Editor. Cheltenham Journal, 22d April, 1839.—" That most emi nent oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., was so strongly im pressed with the utility of snuff not made of tobacco, that in the third volume of th e M e di ca l S oc i ety ' s Works, page 334, this able oculist read several cases of gutta serena cured by the plentiful use of snuff. This snuff was made without the aid of tobacco, that being too great a narcotic to be used as a remedy. The anticipations of this' gentlemen have been fully realised by Mr. William Grimstone, the Inventor of Eye Snuff, made . fro m aromat i c h er b s, so judiciously ar ranged as in almost every case of disease touching the eye, epr, and the delicate organs of the head, to produce a certain cure."—Editor. " There are, perhaps, few articles which are so universally used as snuff, and various and innumerable have been the devices to tickle our noses at the expense of our pockets, but there is only one snuff—albeit many have been attempted—. which has proved of any value, or indeed realised the inten tion of the consumers. Grimstone's Eye Snuff is a delightful and fragrant compound, and possesses properties peculiarly its own; for, unlike all other snuffs, it is really of essential and important service to persons of studious habits, and of weak and infirm sight ; and if we may judge by the numerous medical gentlemen who have borne testimony to its merits, and the many well authenticated cures it has performed, it is not undeserving of the high esteem which it has already attained, not only in this but in other countries."—Old Eng land, 111 h January, 1840. "We should be glad to see this snuff in general use. It is a safe and powerful restorative.—Manehester Chronicle. " GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUF F. — Notwithstanding the sys tem of puffing which is carried on in this vast metropolis, we rsally must claim for Mr. Grimstone the distinction of being a benefactor to his species. We have had ocular demonstra tion of the value of his snuff, which we tried out of curiosity, having at the same time a slight affection of opthalmia, which the use of the snuff very speedily removed. We therefore cordially recommend it to the public. '' —Crown, Aug. 26,1838. " If any testimony were wanting to prove the efficacy of Grimstone's Eye Snuff, we should be most happy to throw ours into the grand scale of demonstrations and proofs already possessed by the inventor. Literary men, and individuals accustomed to sedt,atary habits or-iong reading, vvi/Ifind this snuff invaluable in keeping off headache, dizziness, &c. &c. —Old Monthly Magazine, September, 1838, p. 336.
