SECILETABI—E. Jones, Esq.

The port of Boston affords the readiest outlet fir exports from the
manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance
of direct communication from the midland counties to a place so ad-
vantageously situate cannot be over-estimated.
Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct communication with
Birmingham, and all the other important towns in the midland
district.

The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication
to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch from Syston to Peter-
borough, which passes through that place. There is also a complete
line of railway about to be established from Nottingham, through
Grantham and Folkingham, to Boston, as well as to Spaldin7, Wis-
beach, Lynn, Yarmouth, and other important towns in the eastern
counties.

The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct Union Rail-
way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkingham, will
supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through communi-
cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worces'er, Coventry, and the
manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by means of
existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel,
to that seaport.
The length of the proposed line will not exceed twenty-six miles ;
and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engineer-
ing purposes, the expense of construction will, it is expected, be less
than the usual average. The admirable position of this railway can-
not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both
in passengers and in goods traffic.
Tho Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary
plans and sections in ample time for complying with the standing
orders, and enabling thorn to apply for their Act In the ensuing
session.

A prospectus with the complete list of local provisional committee
Will be issued in a few days.
The object of this railway is not only to afford accomxiodation to
the counties proposed to be traversed, but will also unite pith the
Brighton and Cheltenham Direct Railway, the Metropolitan Rail-
ways Jun , ction the Chatham, Rochester, Maidstone, and Tmbridge
Wells Railway, and the Coast Railway. The great importance of
this Union line of railway will be immediately seen upon refe•ence to
the map. It is intended to commence at High-street, in the Borough,
passing through Camberwell, where it will divide and takethe
fol-
lowing course, viz. : The Kent branch will pass throtgli the
thickly populated parishes of Peckham, Peckham Rye, Levishatn,
Bromley, Orpington, Chelsfield, Shoreham, Otford, Kempiing Seal,
Wrotham, near Addington, Town Mailing, East Mailing, and Dit-
ton, from thence to hfaidstone, where it will form a junction with
the Chatham, Rochester, Maidstone, and Tonbridge Wells Direct
Railway. The Surrey and Sussex branch will run throng) Brixton,
Brixton-hill, Clapham, Balharn-hill, Tooting, Mitcham, Norden,
Cheatn, Ewell, Epsom, where it will form a junction wits the pro-
posed branch to Leatherhead, Headley, Mickleham, from thence to
Dorking, where it will communicate with the Metropolitan. Railways
Junction, and proceed through Capal, Rusper, Wanthara, Horsham,
l'iuthtarst, West Grinstead, Athurst, Hentield, near Wiston, and on
to Steyning, forming a junction with the proposed Brighten and
Cheltenham Railway, continuing through Bramber, Coombes, Lanc-
ing, Sompting, Broadwater, and to Worthing, where it will come in
immediate contact with the Coast Railway,
It is satisfactory to find, from strict calculations, that the pas-
senger traffic arising from the densely populated parishes contigu-
ous to the metropolis, hitherto unsupplied by railway, viz., Cam-
berwell, Peckham, Peckham Rye, Brixton, Clapham, Tooting.,
Mitcham, &c. &c., will give this line a decided advantage over alt "
other projects, and will alone secure a profitable return.
The general passenger traffic of the Kent Branch, (notwithstand-
ing, its unquestionable extent) may be considered of secondary ins,-
portance to the immense transit of agricultural produce which tt,la
county, justly termed " The Garden of England," daily sands to she
metropolitan markets, and particularly the locality of the Borwagh.
The importance of Maidstone as a terminus is obvious, it being
situated on the River Medway, and containing courts of: justice,
county gaol, cavalry depot, and many other public estab'l ,trnents,
the assisea and sessions, and the business of the whole cam sty being
conducted there. It is also, with the adjacent villages,. ;the most
flourishing part of Kent. being surrounded by paper-mills,' which are
snore numerous and extensive in this neighbourhood ',,e_an in any
other part of the kingdom, besides several other exte, ,e factories,
breweries, &c.
The Surrey and Sussex branch besides (unqueAlonal sly creating
an immense increase of passenger traffic between the Ins ,tropolis and
the flourishing and new celebrated watering-place, Wor thing) must
necessarily command the entire transit offish, of whir h many tons
are conveyed weekly from Worthing to London, indepen lent of other
commodities, and the agricultural produce of these twt , fertile and
productive counties.
The proposed line will fill up the railway chasm at r .resent exist-
ing between London and Epsom, Dorking, Horsltam, r and Steyn'ng,
and will afford direct intercourse with Worthing, on( ; of the most
romantic, fashionable, and delightful watering places in the coast of
Sussex, and an Independent Railway will of nme" may occasion a
great influx of company to this already justly celehrt tod place. The
superiority of Worthing as a bathing place stands n nrivalled. The
views of the surrounding country are both extensive a nd picturesque ;
its sands arc particularly worthy of note, beingas sn tooth as carpet,
and offering a healthy and delightful drive of ten ie 'les. It is shel-
tered by an uninterrupted chain of the South Down, which excludes
the wind even in the winter months. The salubrity C t Its Climate is
too well known to require farther comment.

ed that net len than 30, will aglY

avail themselves of the accommodation afforded to them by this
Company.

The pinmoters feel considerable satisfaction in announcing a source
of revenue from this project never yet contemplated by any other
Company, viz., the construction under the line to Camberwell of
dwellings or tenements, forming one continued street, thereby im-
proving the locality through which it runs; from this an immense
income will be derived.

The entire distance of these lines from Camberwell Will be about
ninety miles, and is free from engineering difficulties. The charac-
ter of the country through which the railway will pass is peculiarly
favourable ; and from the report of the engineer, made on his preli-
minary survey, they will be constructed within the sum proposed.
It is lute ded to construct this railway on the atmospheric prin-
ciple, both on account of the facility which that method affords for
stopping at short distances to accommodate the highly respectable
suburban population, to avoid the possibility of collision, and also
the bringing of locomotive engines into London.
Powers for allowance of interest at 41. per cent. on the paid up
capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the
amount of their subscriptions.
Power will also be applied for In the Act, and in the meantime
will be given to the directors, to alter or vary the proposed capital,
either before or aft, r the allotment, in order to construct branch
lines, to Seven Oaks, to Dulwich and Norwood, and to the South-
Western Railway, thereby accomplishing the much-desired object
of giving that Company a City terminus.

SECRETARY—Thomas Fharick, Esq.

This line is intended to commence at Louth, and to proceed, by way
of Market Rasen, to the town and port of Gainsborough, in the
county of Lincoln; and is projected for the purpose of completing a
direct communication with the towns of Rotherham, Sheffield, Man-
chester, and Liverpool, and thus affording to the rich grazing and
agricultural divislont bf the county a ready access to those towns,
which have alwayS been the natural markets for the produce of the
district ; and at the same time to provide a certain and speedy
transit for Manufactured goods and other articles of merchandise.
The Communication by railway between these important towns has
not, by existing arrangements, been provided for, except by very
circuitous routes ; indeed, that part of the line from Market Rosen to
Gainsborough has been entirely overlooked ; and therefbre the pre-
sent one has been proposed to meet the wants of the district on the
strong representations and request of a large and respectable body
of gentry deeply interested in the success of the scheme.
It is useless to dwell in the present day upon the advantages of
railway communication, as those towns which do sot avail them-
selves of the facilities afforded must eventually sink in importance.
To Louth and the surrounding neighbourhood especially the pro-
posed line cannot fail to be of paramount importance, as opening, in-
dependently of passengers' traffic, a directmeans of transit for cattle,
corn, goods, &c., &c., to and from all the great Yorkshire, Lancashire,
and other important markets.
An examination of the map will at once show this, and also the
connexion df the proposed lino with ether important railways both
in Lincolnshire, the adjacent counties, and all parts of the kingdom.
To those acquainted with the town of Louth and its npiryhhn,,,,
hood, it is unnecessary to point out the immense exportation of
cattle, corn, wool, &c., to the Yorkshire markets, or the largo im-
portation of Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, and other goods into
the district, and the facilitieS the proposed line will afford for a
plentiful supply of coals at a much cheaper rate than they can be
procured by any other route. The Committee confidently relying,
therefore, upon the testimony of the highly-respectable parties en-
gaged in commerce and agriculture who honour the present Com-
a pony with support, have pleasure in announcing that the traffic re-
turns will be of a highly satisfactory character.
It is no slight advantage in this scheme, that it cannot he said to
interfere with existing railways, The main feature is the improve-
ment of communication between important towns by the old na-
tural roads, and thus affording facilities to the agricultural and com-
mercial interests, and to the public generally, in and through a dis-
trict where a llwa,y is essentially necessary for its ultimate and
lasting prosperity.
A careful surVey of the line has been made, and the engineer's
report is of a very favourable character. He states that " the line
is a very goOd one • it will pass for the most part alstueg the surface
of the ground, it does not cross any main road, her any ornamentol
property, or interfere with the mansions of the landowners; the
soil is of a favourable character throughout, and no engineering dif-
ficult'.es occur at any point."

N'o subscriber will be answerable beyond the amount of his deposit
until the Act is obtained, and then net beyond the amount of his sub-
vscription ; and power will be applied for in the Act of Parliament to
allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent, per annum on all calls until
the opening of the line. In the allotment of shares, preference will be
given to landowners and parties locally interested ; but no applica-
tion can be attended to unless accompanied with a satisfactory re-
ftrence.

firm, may be addressed to the Solicitors, to the Secre-

PROSPECTUS.
_ _ .

This line is designed to open a direct communication between the
towns of Birmingham and Boston.

The advantages to be.derived by a rich, progressing, and populous
town, such as Birmingham, the great manufacturing centre of the
kingdom, having a direct communication with a port on the eastern
coast facing the Continent; and that port the nearest to it by geo-
graphical position, need butte be mentioned to be appreciated.
The name of Birmingham speaks for itself; the capacity and
value of Boston as a commercial port is daily increasing, and re-
quires but little enterprise to enable it to compete with some of our
best ports.

It is proposed that this line should commence at Leicester, where
It will form a continuation of the direct line from Birmingham t•
that town, and proceeding by or near Melton Mowbray, Corby,
Folkenham, and Donnington, terminate at Boston; thus affording a
direct communication between Birmingham and its important manu-
facturing districts—Rugby, the great railway centre of England, and
Boston, their nearest seaport, which eventually must command the
truffle of the districts with which it is in connexion and the oppo
site ports of the Continent.

A glance at the map will show how this line is fed, and the t•wi s
in its neighbourhood supplied with railway accommodation by the in-
tersecting lines ; but in the event of the London and York line not
obtaining Its Act, it is proposed by this Company to construct a
branch to Grantham.

The country is easy. presenting few or no engineering difficulties.
Another advantage held out by this project is the improvement of
the harbour of Boston, whereby it will be restored to that eminent
position it formerly held among the ports and harbours of the
kingdom.

The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 4
per cent. per annum after passing the Act, on the amount of the
subscription paid np. No subscriber shall be answerable for more
than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, aid then
not beyond the amount of his subscription.
A more detailed Prospectus will be issued in a few days, containing
the names of many influential Gentlemen locally interested in the
proposed line.

BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY.
At a meeting of proprietors of the Bristol and Exeter Rail-
way Company, held at the ofliceS of Mr. Henry 13rittan, No. 17,
Small-street, Bristol, on the 21st of October, 1845, convened for the
purpose of taking into consideration the provisional agreement en-
tered into between the Directors of the above Company and the
Directors of the Great Western Railway Company, for the sale to
the latter of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and adopting such reso-
lutions thereupon as might be deemed advisable,

Mr. WILLIAM CROSS in the Chair,
It was Resolved,-Ist. That this meeting, looking at the past half-
yearly reports, especially the last two, made by the Directors of the
Bristol and Exeter Railway Company to the proprietors of that Com-
pany—at the present receipts--and the gradually increasing traffic
upon the Bristol and Exeter Railway, with the prospect of a still
much greater traffic from its various branches and the already
formed South Devon And projected North Devon and Cornwall
and also at the value of the shares which the Bristol and Exeter
Company possesses in the former two lines—and at the sane time
making every allowance for the disadvantage of a possible competing
line direct from London to Exeter (estimated by the Great Western
Company itself at 14 per cent.)—cannet but consider the provisional
agreement made by the directors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway
Company, for the sale of their railway and effects to the Great
Western Railway Company, as a most improvident bargain, highly
detrimental to the interests of the shareholders in the firmer under-
taking, and involving an unjustifiable sacrifice of the property et the
Bristol and Exeter Railway Company, to which the proprietors of
that company might not to submit or assent ; and that measures be
forthwith adopted to ascertain the sense of the proprietors in general
upon the matter, and if they shall concur in opinion with this meet-
ing, to ensure their co-operation in preventing the confirmation of
that agreement.

2d. That for these purposes a Committee be formed, consisting of
the following gentlemen :
Mr. J. S. Tripp
Mr. C. F. Thornley
Mr. Thomas Lucas
With power to add to their number ; and that Mr. Henry Brittan be
requested to act as the secretary and legal adviser of the Com-
mittee

Mr. C. F. Dand,
Mr. J. Prows°

3d. And that this meeting request the Committee to convene
meetings of the proprietors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Com-
pany as early as possible, at such place, and in such manner as tile
Committee shall think expedient ; and to take such other measures
as the Committee shall deem advisable for effectuating the purposes
before mentioned. WILLIAM CROSS, Chairman.
The Committee appointed for carrying out the above resolutions
will be happy to receive communications from any shareholder;
and would earnestly impress upon the shareholders generally, who
may be prevented from attending the general meeting convened to
confirm the provisional agreement on the 7th of November, imme-
diately to apply to the Committee for the form of proxy (which will
be forwarded duly stamped), to enable the Chairman of this Com-
mittee to vote in their behalf at suck meeting, it being necessary
that the proxy, in order to be effectual, should be lodged with the
Secretary of the Company. five days before the meeting.
The Committee would further urge upon each shareholder the ne-
cessity of his personal attendance at the meeting of the 7th of No-
vember, and that in the interim he should immediately forward to
the Secretary of this Committee a statement of each shareholder's
andthe number of shares,

PROSPECTUS.

This line will pass in a direacoTu•scTrOni Tunbridge, via Paddock-
wood (thus connecting itself with Maidstone), through the parishes
of Branchley, Ilorsmonden, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Benenden,
llawkhurst, Sandhurst, Rolvenden, Newenden, Northlam, Peas-
marsh, Beckley, Iden, and Playden, to the town and harbour 01
Rye, and it will embrace a large extent of adjacent country, at pre-
sent anprovided with, and much requiring the admitted advantages
of railway transit.
The length of the line will be about twenty-five miles, a great
portion of it will pass through a level country, and the remaining
part is free from any material engineering difficulty, or works likely
to require any serious outlay, and it is not expected to be necessary
to interfere with any residences or ornamental property.
The saving of distance to Rye, and all the other places embraced
by this line, will be considerable:
. .

The capital required is estimated ntit to exceed 500,000/.
During the last session of Parliament application was niade for
a similar line, partially embracing the same country, When it
was shown in detail, by evidence produced before the Committee,
that the contemplated traffic, after deffiloting 401. per cent. for work-
ing expenses, wand leave a large per tentage upon the invested
capital. That line was rejected titl tho grotind that the beat

tion had not been selected, but With an intimation that the port
Rye Was a MOM to a direct railway emrimunication with the inte-
rior of the country, in the best direction towards London. The pro
sent scheme has been based upon this intimation, tdking advantage
of the merits and defects which appeared upon that investigation,
and as it embraces a more populous arid productive country, and
passel in a Mtire direct line to London, and Will lia•Ve the benefit 01
better access to other and more numerous lines, the sourceS of traffic
are considerably increaSed, and there is eery reason to believe, from
what passed during' the 1.. t present plan will be
....utauiy entertained by the Legislature.
The chief object is to open the port of Rye to the full benefit Of
railway communication; through a populous and productive district,
In the direction of London; to the beat point at which it can avail
itselfOf the ealgthig and Omits/initiated lines,
The imports of Rye; particularly coils, With 1111th and other
manures; are of great importance to the country through Which the
line trill nags; And a cheaper and better Mode of transit will Hutch
increase the demand for theiii, &id gtte the opporttinity of great im-
provement in the culthation Of the adjacent coitritry.

(loin, °Jab PrOdtieing Corn, tinnier, and hop:poles; and cOnimtmicating

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT

rirHE METROPOLITAN NECROPOLIS, or
_ll. GRAND EASTERN and WESTERN CEMETERIES ASSO-

CIATION.

Capital, 1,000,000/., in 40,000 Shares of 2:5/. each
Deposit, 11.75. ad. per Share.

(Provistonally Itegiitereit aceording'to the Act of Parliament.)

This Company is now forming for the purpose of establishing two
magnificent Cemeteries on the banks of the Thames, at a convenient
distance east and west of th, metropolli, and in order to render them
more extensively available to the poorer classes of the community, in
addition to the usual modes of interment as practised by existing ceme-
teries, they propose introducing the novel but strikingly beautiful
spectacle of burial by water conveyance. Every arrangement has
been made which can be considered essenital to the attainment of
that great desideratum—the abolition of burials in the overcrowded
graveyards of the metropolis. The Cemeteries will embrace an extent
of nearly three hundred acres each, and no expense will be spared
in order to render them worthy the age we live in, and of the
richest and most powerful city in the world. They propose to have
steam-boats with the Arehimedean screw propeller, and appropriate
funeral trappings, exclusively' used for this purpose; also row boats
after the fashion of the Venetian gondola, and houses of reception of
the dead, which will be selected on each side of the river.
The prospectus, with high and influential names attached, will
be issued in a few days; in the meantime, all further information, and
printed applications fur shares, may be obtained at the offices of the
Association, No. 32, 3loorgate street, or at the Solicitors, Messrs.
Bourtilllon and Son, Winchester-street.

BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES.
Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London

JOIIN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numereus en
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for !her
make, feel it incumbent en them to request the attention of the
public, hi purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gem e
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
rautions:--Some are in appearance at first sight, '• the genuine," but
without same or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
And others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom-
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce; will keep good in all
climates.

A L L EIN ' S COMPOUND ANTIBILIOUS
£ PILLS, prepared by Thomas Allen, late of Mile-end-road,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, and Licentiate
of the Apothecaries' Company, and a pupil of the late eccentric and
celebrated John Abernethy, Esq., F.R.S. ; twenty-two years a prin-
cipal Surgeon to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. During a practical
trial of twenty years, these Pills have been found an invaluable
remedy In cases of indigestion, liver, and bilious complaints. For
derangements of the digestive organs and obstructions, a sluggish
action of the liver and bowels, which occasions more or less the fol-
lowing symptoms, viz., heartburn, giddiness, acidity, headache,
sickness, spasms, and flatulent distention of the stomach and
bowels, drowsiness and dimness of sight, an uncomfortable sensa-
tion experienced at the pit of the stomach soon after eating, with a
feeling of a weight of oppression, appetite impaired, breathing diffi-
cult, tenderness about the region of the liver, bowels irregular, some-
tunes obstinately costive with languor and depression of spirits.

T" public is most respectfully informed that
Messrs. NICOLL have received permission, according to the
specification in the Act 6 and 7 Vict., cap 65, to alter and otherwise
adapt the coat. known as the REGISTERED PALETOT, to be
suitable for winter wear, and it is now being made of a thicker ma-
terial, vlz., of milled Llama cloth; it is waterproofed by the new
method, which, it is well known, does not unnecessarily confine the
heat of the body, but the material, when thus operated upon, remains
aa porous as other that has not undergone this process, the effect
being that it does net sop, and will turn a stout shower of rain, but
not h hat of 24 hours' duration. Nicoll's Registered Paletot for winter
wear is a garment that Is warm without being heavy, which,
even for travelling, the necessity of wrapping up in a cumber-
some manner, has of late years been found needless, distances being
so much shortened by present railway and other conveyances.
Nicoll's Registered Paletot, used alone as a morning frock coat, not
Aver another, is found to be a most agreeable garment for walking
exo,-:lse ; and from the skilful way it is formed, it does not
confine the chest or shoulders, but has an equally neat and
gentlemanly .;:mearance when worn in cold wet weather, or in
the evening over a morning or dress coat. The price is three
guineas, that for sniZmor wear being two. It may be ob-
served that those prineips are retained that has obtained for
the Registered Paletot the patronage of mere than one of the
Crowned Heads of Europe. .1 :2 e Prince Consort, Prince
George of Cambridge, the ate mey2bers of the Court, prin-
cipal families in the kingdom, who 1L is well known are
distinguished in their taste for perfect neatness M. flress. The Regis •
tered Paletot having therefore necessarily ezeluded ,sYthing vulgar
or outré in appearance, would alone recommend itself to e notice of
the respectable members of the middle classes, was it not fiti:_her as-
slated by its moderate price, being for ready money. It may be ob-
tained of the principal tailors of the chief provincial cities; but as
only most of the respectable firms are appointed agents, any attempt
on the part of others will thus by the public be at once detected, and
such attempts, when known, will be visited by the penalties provided
in the Act beforementioned ; and in furtherance of which a reward
of fifty pounds will be paid fOr information that may lead to the
'.enviction of such parties by IL J. and G. Nicoll, 114, Regent-
street, ,enden.

Sir,—l cannot help expressing my asionisn.Dent in the effect I have
experienced in taking your Pills fir the Gout. I Was taken on Thurs-
day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out
of my bed, and after I arose I had severe pains, followed On with in-
nanunation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and
within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards
took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this
morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in
a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in
my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must
have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that
time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two
hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be
known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that
suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has
been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.—:'ours
truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY.

Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none
have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community,
nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the impor-
tant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS,
the efficacy of which halt been tnat.i by the approval and recom-
Mendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effec-
tive for gout and rheumatism, in all its various forms, including
ifelAllcit, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as
toottimeltei &C. They require neither confinement nor attention of
any kind, gild ihfarlably prevent the disease attacking the stomach,
brain, or other viitfilith t._ _

Sir,—For the last three or four years I have been labouring under
a nervous dearness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of
bearing. 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
la. 1.1. 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
Vittltioll that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff \ea. in
