bottle of Grims'one'e Aromatic Regenerator. This in an essential
spirit, drawn fram 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 ,rtla in an advertisement, but maybe read in his
pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed.
Each pamphlet has the signature of William Gemstone, Merchant,
flcrbary, 111;11c-etc, and wi:l he 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 pot on
receiving a post-office order for 4s. Gd., 7s. Bd., or les., which in-
cludes the postaga with the case.
The Ils. sire contains four of the 4s.
A few cf its many vit tees, 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
'lke, 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) ? tell you the cause
—the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff 1 and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cater .et, Nervous Headach, and Deaf-
ness, the Loses 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 182.5 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 Herrics, Fsq., to
Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was
on account sf 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.

" Sisal:sea, near Portsmouth, Ilants, sth Nov., 1848.
" Ma. W. GRIMSTONE.—Sir—I must in justice to you send the fol-
lowing Testimonial with regard to the extraordinary efficacy of your
Eye Snuff in cases of Gutta Serena. I have used it in five cases with
the most astonishing benefit and cure. Sir, you may advertise this

All letters to Mr. William Grimstone, Herbary, Highgate, near
London, at which establishment he continues to manufacture his
far-famed HERB TOBACCO, so much esteemed In all foreign parts.
The following letter, in testimony of its delightful qualities, is from
the author of tke " Pleasures of Horne :"
" Springfield Cottage, Honiton, Devon, 15th August, 1848.
" Str,—l cannot deny myself the pleasure of stating how highly I
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
yours a great and acceptable gift, at a very reasonable price.
