•
If you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the humus
figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or
of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an
bottle of Grlmstone'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 whore it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too
❑umerous to be sdt forth in an advertisement, but maybe read in his
pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed.
Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant,
Herbary, Highgate, and will be bound at page 11, under the copy of
Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th
of August, 1846.
This pamphlet is forwarded through the pest, on receiving two
postage stamps.
The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on
receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Bd., or las., which in-
cludes the postage with the case.
The 1 le. size contains four of the 4s.
A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published
la 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, Cataract, 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 intormers, 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, Esq., to
Sir. 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.

lowing Testimonial with regard to the extraordinary efficacy of your

the author of tke " Pleasures of Home :"

esteem your Herb Tobacco. I have now found in it a substitute for
the choice leaf, hitherto obtained by me from a friend in Constanti-
nople. lam sure that lovers of mild, fragrant Tobacco would find
