them upwards of 20 years, by using elemstone's Eye Snuff—trans-
aeons in French, Italian, and Spanish ; pages 59, 60, 61, 62, 63.
Read page 54, the Medical Report in the "Forceps," Feb. 14, 1844,
proving the great advantages arising from the constant use of Grim-
stone's Eye Snuff having been the cause of clearing our streets of the
many green eye-shades, and other human disfigurements. It is the
only fashionable snuff of the day sold under the authority of the
Lords of Pie Treasury and Royal Family. Gemstone's Weather
Almanack is a beautiful pocket size, with a steel engraving repre-
senting a bird's eye view of Oxford-street, &c., bound in Waterloo
Inc, with gilt edges.

sellers. Wholesale only by the proprietor, W. GRIMSTONE, foreign

Copy of one of the above Letter Ls
St. Martin's-le-Grand, General Post-office, Inland Department,
October,9, 1844.
Sir,—For the last three or four years I have been labouring under
a nervous deafness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of
hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de-
rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend,
to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your
4a. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so
much so that I sent for two more, which, having used, I found my
hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since. I should
mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in
April last, and have continued taking it since.--I am, Str, your obe-
dient servant, W. H. ADAMS.
To Mr. W. Gemstone.
Any quantity of Eye Snuff can be forwarded through the General
Post, by sending money orders. A 2s. 4d. Cililiater, with direcuom,
will cost 32..410 so on ti like proportion.
