CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION
PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other Go-
vernments, the Hon. East India Company, the Principal Dock Com-
panies, and other public bodies, &c., is particularly recommended to
the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manufacturers, West India Pro-
prietors, and others, it having been proved by the practical test of
more than sixty years to surpass all other paints as an out-door pre-
servative. It is extensively used for the protection of wooden houses,
farm and other out-buildings, farming implements, conservatories,
park-paling, gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, copr er, zinc, lead, brick,
stone, old compo, and stucco *Jilts, and tiles to represent slating.
The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to every ether paint for out-
door purposes may be easily inferred from the simple fact, that its
Use has been always most strenuously opposed by colour manufac-
turers, painters, oil and colourmen, and others interested in the sale
of common paints. It is also very economical, any labourer being
able to lay it on.
Colours—White stone, light stone, drab or Portland stone, Bath
stone, light and dark yellow stone, light and dark oak, light and
dark lead, light and dark chocolate, bright and dark red, black, and
brown, 345. per cwt.; invisible green, 50s. ; bright green, 605.; deep
green, 605. ; and blue, 60s. per cwt. ; in casks 28 lbs., 56 lbs., and

G R IM SBa T
ON E'S AROMATIC
REGENERATOR.
If you are in want if that beautiful adornment of the human
time, a natural supply of human hair. obtain through the post, or
of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an I Is.
bottle of Gemstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential
spirit, drawn Prom aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her-
bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and
gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too
numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his
pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed.
Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant,
Herbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, un"er the copy of
Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th
of August, 1846.
This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two
postage stamps.
The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on
receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Sd., or Us., which in-
cludes the postage with the case.
The Ils. size contains four of the 4s.
A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published
in the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age
you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your
walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was
the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re-
moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward,
clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause
—the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cater- et, Nervous Headach, and Deaf-
ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi-
cine, and to be stamped. Althergh this advanced its character, 67
cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of
oppression; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq.,
altered the label, and sanctiored its sale under order of the Lords of
the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Esq., to
Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was
on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time is canis-
ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of
Government it is obliged to be stamped.
