TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
AS the 14th of April, the day fixed for the
ELECTION of SIX DIRECTORS, is now close at
hand, I take the liberty of most earnestly renewing any solici-
tations for the honour of your support on that occasion ; and,
in so doing, I beg respectfully to remind you that my preten-
sions to your favour are founded on a period of thirty years'
employment in the Civil Service of the East India Company,
which finally terminated by my having been entrusted with the
charge, for four years, of the highest and most important
branch of your affairs in China. I may further add, that a
long and intimate knowledge of Indian interests, with which I
have been connected from the earliest period of my life, induces
me to hope you will confide in me for the future exertion of my
best energies in promoting the moral, religious, and temporal
prosperity of India. The strong assurances of support I have
received from all quarters since the last Election, enable me to
look forward to the result of the present contest with the most
confident hopes of success, and I have only to express my
warmest thanks to my supporters, and to request a continuance
of their kind exertions until the termination of the Ballot.
I have, in accordance with the usual practice on such occa-
sions, inserted the names of the Five Ex-Directors with my
own in the Ballotting Lists ; and also in the Proxy Papers,
which I shall shortly have the honour to transmit to you, and I
must trust to the kind indulgence of such Proprietors upon
whom I have not been able recently to call, to pardon this
seeming negligence on my part ; the great press of business
attendant on such a canvass, will, I feel confident, plead my
best apology.
I have the honour to be, with the greatest respect,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your most obedient humble servant,
W. H. CHICHELEY PLOWDEN.

SODA AND POTASS WATERS.'
So much prejudice has been produced in the public
mind by spurious articles, sold under these names, containing
not a particle of Alkali, that consumers are earnestly recom-
mended to ask for SCHWEPPE'S, the original inventors and
still the largest manufacturers of these invaluable preparations.
Each bottle contains the proper portion of Alkali, scientifically
amalgamated by the aid of their powerful machinery, and
every genuine bottle is distinguished by. a label on the cork,
representing their name. This precaution is rendered neces-
sary by unprincipled personsfrequently filling SCHWEPPE'S
bottles with their own composition and passing it off as
SCHWEPPE'S manufacture.

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

Head. G.. 1. Guthrie, Esq., F. R. S. See J. B. Laehfield,

Te Mr. Grirastone, 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 di believe my case was beyond all their
skill. " Physic, Bleeding, Blistering, with a seta*, 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, en which I purchased
ls. 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. Shal be happy to answer any inquiry.
I am, Sir, yours gratefully,
L. S. BREWER.
