THE WHITSUNTIDE FAIRS.
Many thousands, forgetting their troubles and cares,
Will join in the mirth of the a Whitsuntide Fairs."
And many sweet lasses and many gay sparks'
Will assemble in groups in the fields and the Parks.
Tis pleasing, exceedingly pleasing, to see
This public enjoyment, this frolic and glee.
Nor is the glad scene of the holidays less,
When viewed in connexion with new Summer dress.
}lnch, much has been done by MOSES and SON.
In adding fresh zest to the Whitsuntide Rm.
Let those who have not yet obtained a new dress,
To MOSES' fam'd warehouse in multitudes press,
And let them not go to a Whitsuntide fair
Till they have made a " fair" purchase of articles rare.
" Fair" dealings you'll meet with at this noted Mart,
And hence, like a " fair" is it thronged in each part,
A " fair" honest bargain with MOSES and SON,
Will gain the expense of your holiday Nu.
Nothing more need be said to induce you to try
Those choice summer dresses whieh multitudes buy.
So wishing you plenty of frolic and tun,
As soon as the " Whitsuntide fairs" aro begun,
We beg to remain, as we ever have done,
Your dutifhl Servants, E. MOSES and SON.
The New Work, entitled " The Monarch Mart," with full direc-
tions for self-meaturement, may now be had on application, or for
warded poet-free.

Copy of one of the above Letters :
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 deathess, 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
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 was in
April last, and have continued taking it since.—l am, Sir, your obe-
dient servant, W. 11. A.DAMS,
To Mr. W. Grimstone.

Any quantity of Eye Suuff can be forwarded through the General
Poet, by sending money orders. A 2s. 4d. canister, with diroctwni,
