ill effects of the Fegs and Damp Air, which, in the Winter Season,

preserve the Sto nacb from the admission of Damps, and to relieve
those who suffer from Difficulty of Breathing. I'repared oply by

RIM S TON E'S AROMATIC
REGENERATOR.
If you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human
figure, 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 Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator, This is an essential
spirit, drawn from 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 f^rth in an advertisement, but may bo read in his
pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed.
Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grindstone, Merchant,
Herbary, Highgate, and will he found at page 11, unler 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 45. 6d., 7s. sd., or 125., which in-
cludes the postage with the case.
The I Is. size contains four of the 4s.
A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published
in the pamphlet enclosed with caeh bottle.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 48 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 mired
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Catar let, Nervous Headach, and Deaf-
ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi-
cine, and to be stamped. Although 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 sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of
the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Fsq., to
Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was
on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis-
ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of
Government it is obliged to be stamped.
GRIMSTONE'S MEDICATED EYE SNUFF, sold in canisters,
inclosed in a pamphlet of medical and other testimonials, under the

" Ma. W. GRIUSTOMC.—Sir—I must in justice to you send the fol-
lowing Testimonial with regard to the extraordinary efficacy of your

me and thousands of others.—T a'n, Sir, &c.,
G. H. BOUTELL, Professor of Galvanism."
