" That the provisions of this Bill deeply injure the interests,
and lessen the usefulness of Chemists and Druggists, as well as
affect the comforts and resources of the poorer classes of so-
ciety ; whilst the immediate and pressing wants of individuals
could create a liability to informations, the which would be
a source of increasing vexation."

" That it is the opinion of this Meeting, that Benjamin
Hawes, as author of this Bill, intituled, ' A Bill to amend the

Ireland,' should be requested to defer, for one month, the se-
cond reading, to enable the public and all parties interested to
form their opinion upon its merits."
Moved by Mr. W. WALKER, seconded by Mr. INCE, and
resolved,
" That petitions be immediately presented to Parliament
against Mr. Hawes's Bill, especiby against that clause de-
priving Chemists and Druggists of their right to prescribe and
recommend medicines."

so swollen as to cause blindness. Among the many Medical
Gentlemen who attended me was the famous oculist, Dr.

skill. " Physic, Bleeding, Blistering, with a seton, of all

by your house in 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, my guide
inquired if I had tried your Eye-Snuff, on which I purchased
I Is. 3d. Canister, opened it in the shop—took some,
n was
greatly relieved before I reached my home. I can with truth
assert, and make oath if required to do so, that it was your Eye-
Snuff cured me. Shal be happy to answer any inquiry.
I am, Sir, yours gratellyu
