President, Most Noble the MARQUIS OF CHOLMONDELEY. Vice Presidents, His Grace the ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. His Grace the ARCHBISHOP OF YORK, &C. &C. &C. APUBLIC MEETING •OF THE LIVERPOOL AUXILIARY IN BEHALF OF THIS SOCIETY, _ _ will be held (1). V.) in the Music HALL, BOLD -STREET, on MONDAY EVENING NEXT, September 7th, 1840. The Chair will be taken at Half-past Six precisely. Several Clergymen and Lay Friends are expected to ad dress the Meeting. The object of this Institution is to supply the Holy Scrip tures, at a reduced price, to the Naval and Military portion of the community ; and possessing, as it does, the patronage of Government, it thus enjoys peculiar advantages for carry ing on its operations among her Majesty's Troops, and the Seamen of her Majesty's Navy. Nor are its operations confined to this class of Men, for one of its leading features is to visit our Seamen, from ves sel to vessel, who are engaged in the Merchant Service, and on our rivers and canals, and also to supply every vessel that floats with copies of the Scriptures gratuitously, as the pro perty of the ship for the general use of the crew. And when it is considered to what an extent our Seamen are precluded from the public means of religious instruction, the necessity of supplying them with the Word of God is the more apparent. It is, therefore, confidently hoped that all those who are friendly to the circulation of the Holy Scrip tures, will attend and support the Society. Liverpool, Sept. 3d, 1840, WHENCE can it arise that the obvious security and ad vantages of Life Assurance should be so little regarded in Liverpool ?—that its inhabitants, as remarkable for pru dence as for enterprise, should, on this point alone, be so reckless ? Of the thousands who are toiling early and late to provide for their families, many must drop off long before that object can be accomplished ; yet how few have Assu rances upon their lives, and for this the reason usually as signed is, " that they have not had time to think of Life Assurance." They have time for every commercial opera tion, however unimportant, but they have no time for one transaction of half an hour, requiring only an annual pay ment afterwards, to place their families beyond the reach of want after their death—an event rendered not less probable by the fatigues and anxieties of commercial life. Hardly a vessel leaves the Thames without the captain and passengers of ships belonging to London houses having Assured their Lives ; whilst from the Mersey thousands proceed annually to the States, to British America, the East and West Indies, and to the great nation now rising up in Australasia, largely in debted to Liverpool merchants, but without Assurance noon their Lives. The Directors of the Australasian, Colonial, and General Life Assurance and Annuity Company, have the pleasure to announce that they will be represented in Liverpool by Messrs. KIRKBY and WATSON, of No. 20, Water-street, who will afford every facility for the immedi ate despatch of Commercial and other Life Assurance, and through their Agency the peculiar advantages of this Com pany are respectfully tendered to the inhabitants of Liverpool and its vicinity.

An ample subscribed capital, which, from the mode of in vestment, will contribute to, instead of detract from, the profits. Rates of Premium lower than those of most of the com panies which do not offer participation in profits. Participation to the 1,000 policy holders of the oldest dates for the time being, for £5OO or upwards for the whole of life, in profits to the extent of one-half, including those of the Annuity Branch. A separate Policy for every bonus, which becomesan abso lute reversion, unincumbered by payment of premium. A DESCENDING SCALE OF PREMIUM, under which, after certain periods, payments cease altogether, but profits con tinue. AN ASCENDING SCALE particularly favourable to those who are looking forward to an increase of income, and entit ling Assurers to profits. Two-thirds of each annual premium for the whole of life may be paid, and one-third may remain at compound inte rest at 5 per cent. A liberal system of conducting business, a tender of arbi tration in all disputed cases, and very moderate expenses of management. Naval and military service, voyages, and foreign residences, at equitable rates of premium. _ . ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES TO EMIGRANTS. No extra premium for voyages in approved vessels to or residence in the Australasian colonies in approved situations. Premiums may be paid at any settlement in Australasia where there is a bank. _ . . Policies, whether effected in England or these colonies, may be made payable in either by endorsement.

THE 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 England. 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. 7 . d. 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. 9d. per lb., being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when the commonest teas, since June, have advanced Is. 9d. per lb. HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold, for the present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea, is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter catties in like proportions. Captain Pidding thi n k s it r i g ht t o i n f orm th e pu bli c that his Chinese correspondent states confidently, th a t th e re is no probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the least, twelve mo n th s ; an d as t h e ent i re stoc k o f consumable i tea n . Great Britain w ill b e ex h aus t e d b e f ore t h at per i o d, there is little doubt but tea will advance daily. These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S MIXTURE, of 40 rare Bl ac k T eas, ad HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER ' in Chinese Catty Packages. N.B.—The signature of " Captain JouN RHODES PID DING" is upon every genuine package. 4 E: Ff ße ;:2l P L o chl sr sE r i y, itikp 3 mo B, ecor ß cij o e ! r d . -street, Sole Agent GEO. CARLY , L .

Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Chapped Hands and Lips, also Bunions and Soft Corns, will be immediately cured by the use of the Ointment. _ _ THE PILLS are not only the finest remedy known when used with the Ointment, but as a general Medicine there is nothing equal to them. In nervous affections they will be found of the greatest service. These Pills are, without ex ception, the finest Purifier of the Blood ever discovered, and OUGHT TO BE USED BY ALL FEMALES. Sold by the Proprietor, 244, Strand, near Temple Bar, late of 13, Broad-street Buildings, and by all respectable Vendors of Patent Medicines throughout the Kingdom. The 2s. 9d. size contains three times the quantity of the smallest, which is but at the rate of 11d. for ls. iv. box or pot ; the 4s. 6d. six times, or equal to 9d. ; the lls. sixteen times, or equal to Bid. ,• the 225. thirty-three times, or equal to Bd. ;_ the 335. size fifty-two times, or equal to but 7-id. for th e smallest size. lt/OXON'S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN'ApEr RIENT, for Indigestion, Bilious Affections, Casual o- Habitual Costiveness, Piles, &c. &c., and as an invaluable cure and preventive of Gout. This elegant preparation of Magnesia, the result of much study and experiment, is fast superseding all other medicines of its class, and is now very generally acknowledged to be the best purgative ever introduced as a public medicine. The almost unprecedented sale which it has obtained has aroused the cupidity of many unprincipled persons, who are always ready to take advantage of the popularity of another's invention; and this medicine has therefore been very exten sively imitated, by Compounds possessing none of its pro perties. Purchasers can only rely upon the Government Stamp, which, in the genuine article, has " Moxon and Smith, (then co-partners,) Chemists, Hull," engraved on it. This is the only certain proof of the genuine preparation. Not being ranked amongst quack specifics, it s valuable properties have obtained for it the recommendation of many members of the medical profession, (among others those of Drs. Graham and Turnbull,) and numbers of the nobility, clergy, and gentry of the land. It is universally allowed, by all who have given it a fair trial, to be superior to all other medicines as a FAMILY PURGATIVE ; and as an invaluable companion to the traveller, particularly those visiting tropical countries ; the sportsman, the delicate female, the sedentary student ; and to all persons subject to irregularities of the bowels, and the disorders resulting therefrom. A teaspoon ful taken after any excess, either in eating or drinking, will restore the tone of the stomach, and relieve all unpleasant symptoms. If taken regularly for some time previous to the usual time of experiencing a fit of Gout, it will generally prevent, and always mitigate the severity of the attack, without that injury to the constitution which is consequent upon the use of colchicum and other strong sedatives. To those afflicted by Indigestion, Bilious Disorders, Sick headache, and all other affections caused by an imperfect performance of the functions of the digestive organs, it affords a pleasant and effectual remedy, its operation being at once effective and unattended by griping or other unpleasant symptoms. Testimonials from several medical and other gentlemen are inserted in the bill inclosing each bottle. Sold retail, at 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and lls, each bottle, by all respectable Medicine Vendors ; and wholesale by Barclay and Sons, and all the London Medicine Houses ; and Raimes, Edinburgh.

PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS JPRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, Liverpool, begs • particularly to call the attention of his Friends and the Public to his improved Preparation of the very justly cele brated article SEIDLITZ POWDERS, to form the SEID LITZ WATERS, which approach - nearer than anything yet discovered to the Chalyheate Waters of Germany. The style of preparing PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ P OWDERS i s pe culiar to himself, and combines scientific skill with great ac curacy ; and though numbers of people unacquainted with the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita• tions, they have invariably been 'found to be spurious com pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me dicinal proj?erties of the Seidlitz Waters. Sold in toxes, 25.. each, containing twenty-four Powders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s. each. The latter. are put up in a very eligible form for ex portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time in all climates. Prepared and sold only by Join , : PRIEST LEY, No. 52, Lord-street. where also may be had Seidlitz Powders in Packets. • IMPROVED SODA POWDERS. It has been observed that the Soda Water, when kept in jars, parts with its carbonic gas; that carriage of it to a dis tance has been attended with risk and considerable expense ; and that, from these inconveniences, its use has been con fined chiefly to large cities and their environs. To obviate these objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and efficacious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered to the public.—Sold in Boxes, at ls. 6d. each FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great inconvenience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much esteemed Medicine. Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed by the London, Edinburgh. and Dublin Pharmacopoeias. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a diseased state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim ples, &c. train the Face, this Medicine has no superior. The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses no real property in .the form of essence, while the Syrup is injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation. PRIESTLEY'S FLUID MAGNESIA. A pure transparent solution, in which all the virtues of that admirable Medicine are concentrated. • As an Antacid and Cooling Medicine for grown persons or children it can not be surpassed, and being nearly tasteless, children will take it without trouble. rn conjunction with the Syrup of Citron it forms an effervescing draught. The. Syrup of Citron, added to water, makes delicious Le mlnaae. and as a refreshing drink in summer nothing can be more agree able. PRI.ESTLEY'S STOMACHIC OR DINNER PILLS.

HINTS FOR THE RADICALS. — CoIoneI Thomson has writ ten a letter to the radicals, in which, after . alluding to that profound ignorance so general amongst the working classes, which renders them liable to be imposed upon by the specious sophistries of self-styled " liberals" and " reformers," who vainly imagine themselves more enlightened than their neigh bours, and therefore best calculated to be the great political regenerators of the age, he advises the chartists to look keenly after every man w h o ever called himself a " good reforier, ' or uttered the wor d tory-rad i cal. " " Depend upon it, " says the colonel, " he was one that helped to steal your pig." - - GREAT WESTERN RAILW,AY.—The tenth half-yearly meeting of this undertaking was held on Thursday week, at the Merchants' Hall, Bristol. Mr. Charles Russell took the chair, and congratulated the town of Bristol that, by the be ginning of November, they would be able to open the line as far as Swindon, which was earlier than was expected, and would complete ninety out of the entire length of one hundred and eighteen miles. The report was then read. The state ment of the coacbing revenue to the 30th June, comprised receipts during the three first months of the year, from 31 miles of railway, to Twyford ; during the two next months, from 36 miles to Reading ; and during one month, from 56 miles to Steventon. The gross amount received is £89,937 9s. The number of passengers conveyed has been 378,736 ; the aggregate number of miles travelled 7,888,293; furnishing an average result of 1171 persons daily travelling the whole distance. The result of the half-year showed a profit of £46,188 Is 7d. The directors regretted the losses which had been sustained by fire, and promised a settlement at the ear liest possible period. The company had determined upon leasing the Cheltenham and Great Western,the Bristol and Exeter lines, by which they were of opinion and inion that many and important advantages might be ensured o this company. The directors proposed to create 37,500 new shares of £2O each, which would raise £750,000, offering to each proprietor one new share at par in respect of an original share of £lOO, or two half-shares of £5O each. Upon these shares it was recommended that a call of £4 per share should b e ma d e , and paying £150,000 so saised a p p li e d to of the mortgage deben tures of the company, resolution was o also recommended that power should be given, b y a f i t Ate company,-to borrow £600,000 on loan notes, Under the cowpany's seal, at interest of five per ce n t. per annum, pa abli a half y rl With a cove nant to di sc h arge the said loan ' notes at - fi e xed Y periods, either in cash or new mortgage debentures at the option of the hold ers. On the motion that the report be adoped, Mr. Hcyworth moved as an amendment, that a dividend of £3 per share be declared, which was seconded; but on the chairman explain ing that the directors had thonght it more consistent with the spirit of their act, and the good name of the company, to apply their profits in the first instance to the payment of the interest on their debt, that zentleman withdrew his amend ment, and the report was adopted. The report stated the probability of a dividend being declared in February next. A resolution for the creation of the new £2O shares was also abopted. It was stated in the course of the day that the ex pense of working this line is at present nearly 48 per cent on the gross revenue of the company. CO bt &alb. TO CAPITALISTS, BUILDERS, AND OTHERS.

The iron trade in Staffordshire and South Wales, which was so much depressed a month ago, is now partaking of the general improvement of the business of the country. Front Birmingham it is stated that some of the merchants have more orders, and things are in some degree looking up. Grousing on the Welsh hills has afforded but moderate sport this season. Three gentlemen went out from Oswestry on Saturday last, and returned in the evening, having bagged half a brace between them. The Earl of Radnor has subscribed .£.50 towards the sup port of an anti-corn law lecturer. We may append to the record of this new proof of the noble earl's political wisdom, the remark, that the extraordinary fineness of the present harvest, both in quantity and quality, will prove a powerful antidote against the amiable offorts of hislordship's lecturing protegOs to excite discontent amongst the people.—Dorset Chronicle. C.ESAREA.N OPERATION.--A poor woman, called Mary Ann Jones, residing in Rathbone-street, Chorlton-upon- Medlock, was delivered, rather more than a fortnight ago, by means of what is termed the Caesarean section, which was performed by Mr. Whitehead, of Oxford-street. Both mo ther and child are doing well. This, we believe, is th e secon d operation of the kind perfo rme d with success in this country. A MODEST HERO.—While the funeral car, with the re mains of the victims of July, was passing along the Boule vards, a national guard reproved a man near him for not taking off his hat, as all around him had doue.—" Sir," re plied he, " I cannot do honour to myself. One of my legs is among the victims, and modesty forbids me to salute it." On looking down, the national guard saw that his interlocu tor had a wooden leg. HERRINGS.—There was a very great quantity of herrings taken by the Cullercoats fishermen on Tuesday night. The shoal was found close in with the coast. One boat caught 16,000, and was obliged to give up three nets to some other boats. The take on Wednesday night seems also to have been considerable, as they were called through the streets here on Thursday at six for a penny.—Netveastle Journal. THE CROPS.—The weather, throughout the present week, in the county of Northumberland, has, upon the whole, been highly favourable to the operations of harvest. There has been occasional rain, but a bright sun and a genial atmo sphere have preponderated, and, in consequence, a great breadth of corn has been cut down. During the ensuing week it is expected that harvest will be general in this district, and, as we have before intimated, the prospect as to quantity and quality is satisfactory. So far from the wheats having been injured by the late rains, it is admitted that they have been benefitted, whilst the turnips and other green crops have im proved prodigiously. A great many Irish labourers have arrived this week in the North to assist in the corn harvest. —Newcastle Journal. IMPORTANT To SHIPMASTERS.—A shipmaster at Banff, having brought up two of his men for desertion of their ser vieb and vessel, an objection was taken, that the articles were not signed in terms of the act of parliament, which requires that they shall be signed by the master in " the first in stance ;" whereas it appeared, that he had either not signed the articles at all, or put his name to them after they had been subscribed by the men. After a long hearing and de bate. the justices, acting on the opinion of Sheriffeorrie, held the objection to be fatal, and dismissed the case.— Aberdeen Constitutional. DR. SOUTHEY.—Rumours have for a considerable time been current respecting the health of Dr. Southey, the po' laureate. Delicacy no longer requires the withholding of ' melancholy fact, which gives the greatest grief to every love of literature, that, through overmuch intellectual labour, Dr. Southey's fine mind has been so much prostrated and shattered, that it is very unlikely that be will ever again appear before the public as a writer. Our information on this subject is derived from a letter written by Mrs. Southey to a friend in this city.—Bath Chronicle. NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.—It has been well observed, that, if the receipts of the most prosperous railways in the country had been published weekly at their opening, as is now the case, the shares would probably have been as much depressed as those of the North Midland have been. T) following statement serves to prove this :—The gross re of the Grand Junction Railway, which opened on the July, 1837, were for the first six months, £116,740, or £4,490 per week. The length of the Grand Junction, including the rails to Manchester and Liverpool, is 112 miles. If the North Midland, the length of which is 72 miles, only produced £2,900 per week, it would be at the same rate per week as of the th e er a ag re e x rezi oo pts pe o r f Grand Nrth Junction Midland of fb r .g t 4 h , week. the last three Bu t theweeks average the poet An anecdote has been told me, the authenticity of which I have no reason to doubt. When the northern ambassadors lately paid visits to Louis Philippe, after his return from Eu, the king is said to have received them with the greatest cool ness, and to have made set speeches at what he called the ingratitude of their masters. " What !" said he, with bit terness, " is it come to this that Metternich has become the satellite of Russia? The treaty is directed, not against France, bat against me—me personally—l, who have pre served peace at such risks, and, in despite of your ingrati tude, will do so still. The king is said to have been equally emphatic in his language with the Prussian Ambassador.— Parsian Correspondent of the Morning Post. Professor Ehrenberg has made some remarkable discoveries in the course of his various experiments on chalk. He found that a cubic inch possessed upwards of a million of micros copical animalcules • 'consequently a pound weight of chalk contains above 10 ,600)00 of these animalcules. From his researches it appears probable, that all the strata of chalk in Europe are the product of microscropical animalcules, most of them invisible to th&naked eye. BRIGHTON .—WEDNIISDAY.—II is generally circulated that his Royal Highness Prince Albert will arrive in the course of the-ensuing week to inspect his regiment, and, as it proceeds from quarters likely to be well informed, there is probably some foundation for the rumour; but, as I stated in a pre vious letter, it will be, whenever it takes place, a flying visit, for the prince will depart in the evening as he arrives in the .morning. 'I have beard Thursday will probably be the day fixed for his royal highness's arrival. There is no prospect of her Majesty and court coming.—Morning Herald. F., 840. SIGHT RESTORED ! NERVOUS HEAD-ACHE CURED ! GRIMSTONE'S CELEBRATED EYE SNUFF, Under the patronage. of his late Majesty, her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the Treasury,) TS universally recommended by the Faculty for its e ffi cacy I in removing Disorders incident to the Eyes and Head. It will prevent Diseases of a Scrofulous Nature affecting the Nerves of the Head; In cases of Nervous . Head-ache it is completely efficacious, and gives a Natural Sweetness to the Breath. It may be taken as frequently as other Snuffs, with the most perfect safety and gratification to the consumer. Wash the eyes every'morning with warm milk and water, to remove whatever secretion may have been produced during the night. Dr. - ABERNETHY used it, and termed it the Faculty's Friend and Nurse's Vade Mecum. Dr. ANDRZWS also recommends its use as a preventive. (See his report when in Sunderland, published in the Times, Cheltenham Journal, and British Traveller, 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, 6th 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 opitiion touching the subject of which he treats will be read with interest. The discovery of Mr. Grimstone is simple, gentle, and certain, and by its unfailing influence on 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 the Medical Society'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 Grirostone, the Inventor, of Eye Snuff, made from aromatic herbs, so judiciously ar ranged as in almost every case of disease touching the eye, ear, 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, 11th January, 1840. "We should be glad to see this snuff in general use. It is a safe and powerful restorative.—Manchester Chronicle. " GRIMiTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—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, anti individuals accustomed to sedentary habits or long reading, will find this snuff invaluable in keeping off headache, dizziness, &c. &c. —Old Monthly Magazine, September, W3B, p. 33 6.

SIR,—I have been afflicted for many years with a severe pain in my head, attended with a dimness of sight and dart ing pains in my eyes, for which I have had the first medical advice ; indeed, I have taken large quantities of medicine, without receiving any relief; but I am now delighted to say, with truth, that ever since using your valuable eye snuff, which 1 have taken copiously, that is, a 2s. 4d. canister weekly, I am quite free from those excruciating pains, and can read the smallest print, although I am in the 65th year of my age.

You must understand, sir, that I have for the last four or five years suffered much with giddiness in my head and dimness of sight. I naturally concluded (being in my 69th year) that it was the decay of nature, and was advised by a friend, who said much in its favor, and the extraordinary virtues of your celebrated invention, I was induced to give it a trial, and I am happy to say that the great and signal benefit. I have derived from the use of four 2s 4d canisters has ena bled me to lay aside my spectacles, has given me great relief in my head, and I feel so thoroughly convinced of its benign virtues, that my gratitude shall ever be evinced in recom mending it to all I may hereafter meet suffering with those afflictions.—l am, sir, your most obliged and grateful servant, To W. Grimstone, Esq. ANN COLE. To W. Grimstone, Esq. inventor of Eye Snuff, 39, Broad-st. Whitehall, March 8, 1838. Mr. Grimstone,—Sir, I think it but justice that I should offer my acknowledgments to you for the great benefit I have derived from the use of your most exquisite fragrant com pound, composed of herbs, called Eye Snuff; its action on the membrane of the nose, causing the lachrymal glands to discharge in a manner truly surprising, and by that means to cleanse the cornea, that my eyes became healthy, strong, and performed their wonted duties in a manner that 1 have not known the blessing of for six y ears . Th e renowne d Dr. Guthrie recommended me to try your eye snuff prior to my undergoing an operation.
