„ler, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age,
7015 will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your
walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was
the demand tsr eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re-
moved those sightless beings, ant given place to a straightforward,
clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? ten you the cause
--the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff I and because it cured
Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Ileadach. and Deaf-
ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to he 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 gykes, Esq.,
altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of
the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by llerries, Fsq., to
Mr. William Grimsteae, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was
'a account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis-

This Work contain an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their isvariable cons
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified ph
cian for relies ShAme and the dread so frequently, bat erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where
alone it can Jae procured. . Dr. LA'MERT has taken the bighted
snedical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
Practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence. which 'has reference almost solely to the treatment of
these
diseases.
