THZ ORNAMENTATION OF WATCHES WITH FINS Al
DESIGNS.—" It is singular that our English manufac"
turers of watches have overlooked the importance of sups'
rior art-designs for their productions. The fact is, the
costliness of material and perfection of mechanism in the
smallest compass seem heretofore to have been looked
as the exclusive standards by which a watch could be
judged, the ornamentation being considered of no import-
ance. Significant signs of improvement are, however, in-
dicated by at least one manufacturer. As observers of pro'
gress in all departments of art and manufactures, we feel
much pleasure in adding our testimony to the fine taste
which has been displayed in the selection of artistic designs
for ornamenting watches by Mr. .1. W. Benson, of 33 and
34, Ludgate-hill, the manufacturer referred to. Mr. Ben'
son, as along-established City nutnufacturer, has gained
reputation for the quality of his ,productions which stands
second to none in the City."—So.n.—Benson's Diustrated
Pamphlet, post free for two stamps, is descriptive of eyed/
construction of watch now made. iratches safe by post to

GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Dr. A.. Ure, M.D., F.R.S.,
made the following analysis of Grime tone's Eye Snuff:—
" London, 25, Keppel-street, July 24,18412.-1 hereby certify
that the eye-snub invented and manufactured by Mr. Wrn.
Grimstone, of the Herbary, Highgate, is' quite
mildly
free front
tobacco, and composed of herbs, capable of exciting
the pituitary glands; without exercising any- .subseqen t
nar-
cotic action of the optical organs. This anug is therefore
adapted to relieve congestions affecting the brain and the
u
vision.—Andrew Ure, M.D., F.R.S., professor of chemistry
and analytical chemist." The above is the resu'lt of Grim-
stone's eye snuff required by the Spanish Conswi-General
(Marquis of Bayaixto, kc.), to free this snuff from the, tobacco
duty in the Spanish dominions, it being manufactuTed of
herbs only.
