G RIMSTONE'S EYE-SNUFF.
Original Letters at 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury.
To Mr. Grimstone, Broad-street, Bloomsbury.

Ophthalmic llospi6l, Chat ing-Cross.
Sat,—Perceiving that in one of your bills my name is mentioned in
unioa with that of my late patient Mr. Latclifield, I beg leave to confirm
bis testimony, and state the great benefit derived by the use of your ex-
cellent herbaceous eye-snuff in his case, which was one of obstinate
chronic ophthalmia, accompanied by opacity of the cornea, and a varicose
state of the conjunctional vessels. His case was the first under my
notice in which the preparation was used; but, being struck by the ad.
vantageous results, 1 resolved to lay aside prejudices, and advise its use in
some cases in my practice at this hospital. The benefit was great, and has
led rile still further to recommend it, but, unfortunately, the funds of the
hospital are low, and our patients too often cannot afford the purchase of
your snuff, it being, from its price, almost as unattainable to the poor as
patent medicine would be. If it be not asking too much, could you form
any arrangement by which the really_ indigent patients of this institution
could be supplied with the eye-snuff at a lower
_price, on producing a re-
commendation to that effbct, signed by me. If you could, I would ask
you to be so kind as to write to me here on the subject ; in doing so you
would perform a great act of charity, and the obligation would be felt, not
only by the poor whom you would relieve, but liy your obedient servant,
J. G. GUTHRIE.

Mr. Grimstone has complied with the above humane request of Dr
Guthrie Whitehall, March 8, ISII.
Sift —I think it but justice that I should offbr my acknowledgments
to you for the great benefit I have derived from the use of your
most exquisite fragrant compound 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 so cleansed
thecornea, that my Eyes became healthy, gm-Ig, 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 by your
Eye Snuff; prior to my undergoing an operation. Many thanks to him
for his recommendation ; thanks to your invention, that operation will
not bo 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.
