NERVOUS HEAD-ACHE CURED ! GRIMSTONE'S CELEBRATED EYE SNUFF, Under the patronage of his late Majesty, hpr Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the Treasury,) IS universally recommended by the Faculty for its e ffi cacy 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. ANDREWS 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. Dated Nov. 10,1831. G. J. GUTHRIE, Esq., F.R.S.—This eminent surgeon strongly recommends Grimstone's Eye Snuff. See J. B. Lachfield's, Esq., letter. OBSERVE THIS CAUTION. W.

But read the following :- 1 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 opinion 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 serene 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. ‘8 illiam Grimstone, 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. " GRIMSTONE'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, and individuals accustomed to sedentary habits or long reading, will find this snuff invaluable in keeping off headache, dizziness ' &c. &c. —Old Monthly Magazine; September, 1838, p. 336.

March 31, 1838 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 I 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. This is my third testimony, and I shall be most happy to give it to you or to any respectable inquirer at my residence as under.—l remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble servant, E.

Sir,—l think it my incumbent duty to return you my grate! ful acknowledgments of the efficacy of your invaluable " eye snuff." 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 em 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 )ffer my acknowledgments to you for the great benefit I have lerived 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 years. The renowned Dr. Guthrie recommended me to try your eye snuff prior to my undergoing an operation. Many thanks to him for his sug gestion, thanks to your invention, that operation will not be necessary. Sir, you have my permission to make this known in any manner you think best. I am, sir, your obedient servant, J. B. LACHFIELD.

MURDER AT HORFIELD, NEAR BRtSTOI (From the Morning Herald of Yesterday.) BRISTOL, Jan. 26.—The village of Hortield, situate about mile and a-half from this city, was yesterday made the scene of one of the most horrible and revolting murders that has been perpetrated in this neighbourhood since the memo rable assassination of Mrs. Lewis, at Stapleton, in Septem ber, 1834. The discovery of the horrid event produced the utmost degree of alarm in the village, and within an hour of its discovery it was generally circulated for miles round this country. The name of the unfortunate victim was Martha Shedden ; she was an unusually hale woman, between 66 and. 67 years of age, and was wife of Mr. Alexander Shedden, for merly an apothecary carrying on a large business in this city, but who had retired some years since on a small pro perty, and is now residing at Cheltenham Cottage, Gloucester road. Upon receiving intelligence of the tragical event this morn ing, I repaired to the spot, where a scene of the most re volting description presented itself. The body of the unfor tunate lady was lying in the position in which it was first discovered on the floor in a back room of the house. The head presented a truly frightful appeaarnce, having almost literally been torn to pieces. The whole of the right tem poral and a portion of the right parietal bone had been beaten in ; the skull had also been driven in on the top of the head at the left side ; in addition to which there was an extensive cut over the right eye, one on the upper lip, and several on other parts of her person. Her clothes were literally deluged with blood, a large pool of which flowed from beneath the chair upon which, in all probability, she was sitting when the fatal injuries were inflicted. The medical gentlemen who were called in are of opinion that the wounds were inflicted with a hammer; but the police seem inclined to a different opinion, as a heavy iron riddle which was found in the fire-place was spotted with blood in several places. I have examined this implement very minutely, but I can find no traces of blood on the edges or interior, and the spots on the back (the part turned towards the chair when it was first discovered) ap pear to have been spirted on it. There are also large spots of blood on the walls and ceiling, and a considerable quantity on the cushion of the chair, in which I imagine the deceased to have been seated. The following are the parti culars of the discovery, &c. as ascertained on the spot; be fore giving which, it may be as well to premise that a young man named Charles Rudge, who had been occasionally em ployed in the family of Mr. Shedden, but had latterly been discharged on account of the discovery of some petty thefts, was last night apprehended on suspicion of the murder, by two constables of the Gloucester police, in which county Horfield is situate. At about 10 o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Shedden left his house for the purpose of coming to 13ris. tol to see his sons, one of whom is a clerk in the Custom house, and the other occupies a responsible situation in the office of one of our respectable solicitors. As he came down the Gloucester-road towards Bristol he met Rudge proceed ing in the direction of his house, but he did not for the mo ment suppose that he was going there, as from the evidence afterwards adduced before the magistrate would seem to be the case. Having completed his business in town, lie, at about seven o'clock, returned with his son Henry to Horfield. He knocked at the front door as usual. Having waited for several minutes without receiving any answer, he proceeded to the back of the house, and as the back door is usually kept fastened, heknocked . there. After waiting about five minutes without having succeeded in making any one hear, it occurred to him that his wife had gone to the house of a neighbour. lie was accordingly proceeding in that direction, when his son, who had in the meantime tried the door and found it open, called to him. He then returned, and having entered the room, which was in complete darkness, walked for a few steps, and then stumbled against the body. His first im pression was that she had fallen down in a fit, but on obtain ing a light the horrid spectacle presented itself to his view. The poor woman had apparently struggled with her murderer, for some of the furniture and her wearing apparel were very much disordered. She was quite cold, and had evidently been dead for some hours, as the blood was completely con - gealed, and the fire quite extinguished. The motives which could have led to the horrid act are as yet enveloped in com plete mystery. Two are suggested; the first robbery, and the second revenge ; and the evidence of facts as affecting both are equally slight. With reference to the first, it is stated that two old-fashioned pockets which she usually wore (and in which she only carried a small sum in silver), and her wedding-ring and gold keeper. have been removed from her person ; but with reference to the latter, it is admitted that her habit was, whenever she was at work, to take them off and put them away, and she has been repeatedly known to adopt the same course with reference to her pockets. The facts, which would seem to deny such a motive, are, that some silver spoons exposed on the dresser had not been re moved, and that none of the drawers and boxes in the house appeared to have been opened. As to the grounds of malice, they are equally slight. It appeared that the supposed mur derer had some time since lent her a book which had been lost, and concerning which a few words had occurred ; but, excepting this fact, I can find nothing, as it is clear from the evidence of a lad, named Shakespeare, that Rudge had been re-employed by the deceased in the morning. As soon as Midge was taken, he was conveyed to the house, where he burst into tears, and exclaimed, " Good God! how do you think I could have murdered Mrs. Shedden?" On the following morning he was again taken to the house, when he again protested his innocence, saying, " Oh my God ! I did not do it, though you might think I did ;" he also said that he left Horfield at eleven o'clock in the morning, and that he could get a dozen witnesses to prove it. When he was taken into custody, his clothes were seized, and on his trousers there were a few spots resem bling blood, but it is difficult to say what they are. The surgeons seem to be of opinion, that the person committing the murder must have been much marked with blood. A diligent search has been made, but as yet no hammer has been found ; but is not improbable that it has been thrown into some of the neighbouring ponds or fields. The hour of the occurrence cannot be fixed with any accuracy. The man who had been usually in the habit of supplying deceased with milk, states, that when he knocked at three o'clock lie could make no one hear ; but a next-door neighbour asserts, that she heard the deceased talking to some one after that hour, The accused and his father say that they can prove an alibi, extending from twelve o'clock in the day till ten o'clock at night. Tnis afternoon, a partial examination, for the purpose of remanding the prisoner, took place before H. W. Newman, Esq. In addition to the testimony of the husband, and the constable who apprehended the prisoner, two boys were examined. The first, Edward Shakespeare, deposed, that as he was coming towards Bristol, between 10 and 11 o'clock, he saw the accused proceeding up the road owards Horfield. Afterwards, at about 12 o'clock, he saw drn in the garden of Mr. Shedden's house, assisting deceased ,o beat carpets. Shortly afterwards he saw him laying down ishes in the garden, and again, at about four or five o'clock, met him coming into Bristol, by way of a road called Cut ler's Mill-lane. He had his hand in his pocket, and a pocket-handkerchief hanging out. A boy named William Furze also spoke positively to having seen him go up the road at about eleven o'clock, and return again towards Bris tol at about three o'clock. The prisoner still solemnly pro tested his innocence, and then fainted away. Since he has been in custody he has repeatedly expressed a desire to see the Rev. Mr. Clifford, the incumbent of the parish, but gays it is not about the murder. He also told the constable (168) that he had dreamt in the night that he was murdered with a hammer. The inquest was held on Wednesday morning, at the Beer House, Horfield, before William Joyner Ellis, Esq., coroner for the county of Gloucester.—The jury, after hear ing the evidence, returned a verdict of " Murder" against Charles Rudge.
