The Work which .'s now presented to the public is the result
of very extended expeiience in a class of diseases and affec-
ucountable reason have keen either
tions, which for some un
altogether overlooked, or trc-Ited with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the of dinary p:actitioner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to i,,aint out their causes, a
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and phnd to
ysical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of
-a
PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Under the
Patronage of his late Majesty, her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, aced the Lords of the Treasury, is universally
recommended by the Faculty for its efficacy in removing dis-
orders incident to the Eyes and Head.
SIGHT RESTORED!—NERVOUS, HEAD-ACHE
AND DEAFNESS CURED!
By the most simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound !
Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure ; many thou-
sand cures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling ex-
pense, yet certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary
to induce the sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Com-
mons have used it. The Lords of the Treasury have sa,nctioned
its use. Their late Majesties, the Duchess of Kent, the most
eminent Oculists, Medical Practitioners—with that gigantic
balance, the Press—have eulogised Grimstone's celebrated
Herbaceous Compound, known as " Grimstone's Eye Snuff,"
for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident to the Eyes and
Head. G. J. Guthrie, Esq., F. R. S. See J. B. Lachfield,
Esq.'s Letter, Whitehall. Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews calls
it a national blessing--see his Reports touching its utility. The
late Mr. Abernethy, with many others, recommend Grim-
stone's Eye Snuff, and call it " Man's best Friend," and the
" Student's Vade Mecum."—See the many thousand Letters
of Testimonies, of undoubted medical authority, with others of
the first respectability.
Abstract of a letter from Mrs. L. S. Brewer, Dress-maker
3, Edge-terrace, Kensington Gravel Pits.
To Mr. Grimstone, Inventor of Eye-Snuff.
Dec. 5, 1840.
Sir,—l have been a sufferer for seven years, both eyes being
so swollen as to cause blindness. Among the many Medical
Centl, men who attended me was the famous oculist, Dr.
AlexnAer ; indeed. I do believe my case was beyond all their
skill. " Physic, Bleeding, Blistering, with a seton, of all
kinds f Lotions, but no relief," till chancing one day, being led
by ye r house in 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, my guide
inquii.:d if I had tried your Eye-Snuff, on which I purchased
i Is. :A. 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. Shal be happy to answer any inquiry.
I am, Sir, yours gratefully,
L. S. BREWER.
