commended by the Faculty for its efficacy in removing disorders
ncident to the Eyes and Head.
SIGHT RESTORED !—NERVOUS HEADACHE AND
DEAFNESS CURED!
By the most simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound!
Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure; many thousand
cures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling expense, yet
certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary to induce the
sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Commons have used It.
The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned its use. Their late Ma-
jesties, the Duchess of Kent, the most eminent Oculists, Medical
Practitioners—with that gigantic balance, the Press—have eulogised
Grimstone's celebrated Herbaceous Compound, known as "Grim-
stone's Eye Snuff," for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident
to the Eves and Head. G. J. Guthrie , Esq., F.R.S. See J. B. Lech-
field, Esq.'s Letter, Whitehall. Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews calls it
a national blessing—see his Reports touching its utility. The late
Mr. Abernethy, with many others, recommend Grimstone's Eye
Snuff, and call it "Man's best Friend," and the "Student's Vatle
Mecum."
Dr. Andrews also recommends its use as a preventive. See his
reports in Nov. 1631. He states that the tenacious sympathy of the
membrane, within the nostrils, with the nervous system,-that Grim-
stome's Eye Snuff, when frequently taken, must be of the greatest
benefit to the consumer; and, further, recommends its universal
adoption as a preventative.
Dr. Thomas, of Hatfield, having witnessed many cases both of
headache and ophthalmia, has kindly given hie testimony thereof.

the miraculous cure effeeied on myself by taking a few pinches of

NEW INVENTIONS IN DRESS AND
USEFUL LUXURIES.
The forms and varieties of costume, and the multi-
plicities of elegant articles of personal and household
luxury, have attained to such high artistic perfection,
that one can hardly, with justice, refuse to the in-
ventors the merits and honours hitherto exclusively
accorded to the professors of what are designated,
par excellence, the fine arts. Sculpture, painting,
poetry, and music, will not much longer be allowed
to monopolise the fame and glory of the fine arts—
they must condescend to share them with the other
branches of creative genius. At this moment, visit
the capital of the Russian empire, admire the fault-
less form of some fascinating princess, as she passes
you on her prancing steed, the chances are you will
be told she is indebted for more than half her ele-
gance to the Messrs. Nicoll, of Regent-street, who
are the artificers of her splendid riding-habit. See
the Emperor himself in his sable pelisse, looking, as
he does, every inch a monarch—you will be in-
formed that he too has received the embellishments
of his outer man from the same London fashioners.
To the Prussian metropolis, likewise, Prince William
bears with him many samples of the perfect taste of
these artists, while the young and handsome Duc de
Montpensier is about to astonish the Parisians with
novelties in dress derived from the same source. Talk
of poets and painters—here is, indeed, a substantial
European reputation. Take another instance. Enter
the boudoir of some fair aristocrat ; note the rare
collection of superb Lijouterie that surrounds you on
every side, the glittering albums, the fancifully em-
bellished writing-desk, the gorgeous inkstands, the
matchless vases of Bohemian glass and other crystals,
the innumerable nick-nackeries, brilliant and beautiful
beyond expression—with each and all of these the
name and fame of Messrs. Barry and Son, of the
Egyptian Hall, are linked as indissolubly as those of
Corregio and Rairaelle with the Magdalene and the
Saint Cecilia. Examine the perfumed notes of invi-
tation and the visiting cards that adorn your drawing-
room table, and mark the admirably-emblazoned
crests of the fair senders engraved and painted
thereon; these, too, proclaim the art and skill of these
inventors of all that is brilliant in such articles of
luxurious fashion. Upon taking up Mrs. Postan's
agreeable work, "Facts and Fictions," the other day,
we were much amused with a description of the
anxiety and impatience evinced by the ladies of Bom-
bay, on the arrival of each vessel from Europe, to
possess themselves of the latest inventions of the cele-
brated modestes, Mesdames Herbault Nieces, of the
Rue Menard, Paris. Not a pelisse,• nor a mantelette,
nor even a ribbon, would one of them select until she
had heard the last fiat pronounced by these oracles of
extreme gofit. Here is a fame, not merely European,
but universal. The renown of Alexander the Great
reached not so far eastward as that of these famous
Parisian milliners. Remark any strikingly delicate
green, porcelain blue, or dahlia-tinted silk, of surpass-
ing richness. Infallibly you will be answered
that they are the produce of the looms of Lyons,
and that they have issued from the magazine
of Messrs. Gay and Denis, Rue de la Vrilliere, Paris.
The inventors of novelties in dress and useful luxuries
have no right to complain of any want of apprecia-
tion in the present generation.
