JUDGE;
"This work is redolent of the hearty fun and strong masculine
sense of our old friend Sam Slick. The last work of Mr. Haliburton
is quite equal to the first. Every page of The Old Judge' is alive with
rapid, fresh sketches of character—droll, quaint, racy sayings—and
capitally told anecclotes."—Chronicle.

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 climrte is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause
—the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff ! and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Catarac:- Nervous Heade ch, 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 :reformers, 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 Treasory; the letter of proze..ction' signed by Berries, r sq., to
Mr. Wriiiam Crimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was
on account its cure eve 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 stamned.

loWng Tes.:troaial with regard to the extraordinary efficacy of your
