To Mr. Grimstone, Inventor of Eye-Snuff.

Dec. 6, 1840.

Sir,—l have been a sufferer for seven years, both eyes being
so swollen as to cause blindness. Among the many Medical
Gentlemen who attended me was the famous oculist, Dr.
Alexander ; indeed, I do believe my case was beyond all their
skill. " Physic, Bleeding, Blistering, with a seton, of all
kinds of Lotions, but no relief," till chancing one day, being led
by your house in 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, my guide
inquired if I had tried your Eye-Snuff, on which I purchased
a is. 3d. Canister, opened it in the shop—took some, and 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. Shall be happy to answer any inquiry.
I am, Sir, yours gratefully,
L. S. BREWER.

MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN MEDICAL

SCIENCE.
" Vineet veritas et prevalebit."
FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCA.
TION for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, RIIEUMA

TIC GOUT, TIC DOULEROUX, LUMBAGO, SCIA
TICA, RHEUMATIC FEVER, QUINSEY, &c., is now
few the first time introduced to the notice of the public; al-
though in the present age of imposture it is difficult to put for-
ward a truth, however important, that shall not be liable to be
confounded with the daily empirical puffs that arc obtruded on
the public eye. This consideration has for a long time deterred
the proprietor of Feaver's Embrocation from advertising it.
Feeling, however, a thorough conviction of the incalculable be-
nefits it will confer on mankind, he conscientiously believes
that, by withholding it longer, he would be wanting in the com-
mon feelings of humanity towards his fellow-creatures, and of
duty towards himself. Ile, therefore, no longer hesitates to
adopt this mode of making this wonderful remedy generally
known, that the aMicted may have an opportunity of enjoying
the blessings it offers them. This specific was revealed to the
proprietor's father twelve years ago, who then cured him-
self of a very obstinate case of inflammatory gout of thirty
years' standing, and although on that occasion lie had been
confined to his bed-room for two months, he was enabled to
walk two miles within six hours after the application. Since
that period thousands, from the noble to the peasant, have been
cured by it. In short, it is no exaggeration to assert that it has
never been known to fail in effecting a cure, where the oroprie-
tor's instructions have been attended to. Its extraordinary
efficacy has been for years tested by several medical gentlemen
of distinguished eminence, mho declare it to be the greatest
discovery every made in medical science. The sl,iperiority. it
pewees over every other remedy consists in its being an in-
vegetable compound, in the perfect security with
which
be used (outwardly) by the most afilieted'and
timid
and in the certainty of its being a sound, safe,
and

confirmation are in the hands of the Proprietor, Nos. 2 and 8,
Friday-street, for the inspection of those who may wish to
satisfy themselves on the subject.
