,4—`l RIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.--Under the
Patronage of his late Majesty, Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, and 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
toi n duce the sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Cern-
MOM have used it. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned
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 ealls
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
66 Student's Vade Mecum."--See the many thousand Letters
of Testimonies, of undoubted medical authority, with others of
the first respectability.

Almanack."

SIR,—I 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 so much in its favour, and the extraordintry
virtues of your invention, I was induced to give it a trial, and
I am happy to say that the great and signal benefit I have de-
rived from the use of four of your 2s. 4d. canisters has enabled
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 recommending it to
all I may hereafter meet suffering with those afflictions.
1 am, Sir, your much obliged, and grateful servant,
ANN COLE.
