And hence, like a " fair" is It thronged in each part,
A " fair" honest bargain.with MOSES and SON,

Those choice summer dresses which multitudes buy.

printing ; see page 57. The "John Bull " published its usual check.
Dec. 22, 1844, giving it, indeed, 336 correct] daily predictions ; see
copy, pages 52 and 54. Also, " The Sun," the " Globe," the " Era,"
the " Post," " Herald," " Chronicle," " Satirist," " Punch," and
many others, have noticed the correctness of this unique work.

hie Royal Highness Prince Albert while at the College of Bonn ; also
useful Chronology, Royal Family, both Houses of Parliament, Sum-
mary of Population of the British Empire, Population of the chief
towns and cities ; a Calendar, containing Sundays, festivals, anni-

them upwards of 20 years, by using Grlmstone's Eye Snuff—trans-
ations 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 swift- of the day sold under the authority of the
Lords of the Treasury and Royal Family. Grimetone's 'Weather
Almanack Is a beautitlil pocket size, with a steel engraving repre-
senting a bird's eye view of Oxford-street, &c„ bound in Waterloo

Copy of one of the above Letters :
St. Martin's-le-Grand, General Post-office, Inland Departrnent,
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 aurist.s, ftom 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
4s. 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
April last, and have continued taking it siuco.—l a.rc your obe-
dient servant, W. H. ADAMS.
To Mr. W. Grlmstone,

Aay quantity of Eze,.S.nuff can be forwarded through the General
pot, NT sending Money orders. A 2s. 4d. elllll.9ier, with directions,
