GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.--Under the
Patronage of his late Majesty, her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the Treasury, is universally
recommended by the Faculty for its efficacy in removing dis-
orders incident to the Eyes and Head.
SIGHT RESTORED !—NERVOUS 'HEAD-ACHE

AND DEAFNESS CURED!
By the most simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound!
Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure ; many thou-
sand cures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling ex-
pense, yet certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary
toi'nduce the sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Com-
mcns have used it. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioner
its use. Their late Ma kesties,the Duchess of Kent, the most
eminent Oculists, Al ec'ic al Practitioners—with that gigantic
balance, the Press—have eulogised Grimstone's celebrated
Herbaceous Compound, known as " Grimstone's Eye Snuff,"
for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident to the Eyes and
Head. G. J. Guthrie, Esq., F. R. S. See J. B. Lachfield,
Esq.'s Letter, Whitebait Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews calls
it a national blessing—see his Reports touching its utility. The
ate Mr. Abernethy, with many others, recommend Grim-
stone's Eye Snuff, and call it " Man's. best Friend," and the
Student's Vade Mecum."—See the many thousand Letters
of Testimonies, of undoubted medical authority, with ethers of
the first respectability.

Nottingham, 28th Aug. 1841.
'this extraordinary cure is attested by Mr. James Wilcockson
Foreign Snuff and Cigar Merchant, Nottingham.
To Mr. W. Grimstone, 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, London.
Sir,—l feel great pleasure in sending you the particulars of
my case, and the miraculous cure performed on myself, by
using your truly valuable Eye-Snuff. Sir, I am now in my
93d year, and a native of Holland, have been in this country
26 years. Whether from change of climate, or my advanced age,
I cannot say, but for six years I have been deprived of sight,
therefore unable to follow my business. I do most sincerely
believe I should have remained in darkness and pain but for
the kind recommendation of a friend to use your invention. I
purchased a 2s. 4d. canister of your agent, Mr. Wilcockson, to-
bacconist, who knows the above to be facts, and will bear wit-
ness to my extraordinary recovery of that most inestimable
les•ing of our life—" Perfect Sight"—l declare hag proceeded
from the use of your Eye Snuff. For the sake of those suffer-
ing, you may make what use you please of this letter, Mr. Wil-
cockson and many others will vouch for its truth. I refer the
sufferers to this gentleman, being your Agent, and so well
known in Nottingham.
I am, Sir, your obliged servant,
28th Aug. 1841. ANNIS ZENIA AIASgENIA.
P. S.--Sir,—l should not do you justice without stating my
fwas almost instantaneous. My eyes became clear and
reed from humour, and by persevering in its use very fre-
quently I am enabled to read small print without the aid of
Glasses, and continue to enjoy God's greatest blessing—Sight !
free from pain. I have reason to be grateful, and do recom-
mend your Eye Snuff to all I know.

Res..lvea—That the continued and increasing depression of
the manufacturing, commercial, and agricultural interests
of this country, and the wide-spreadirg distress of the
working-classes is most alarming—manufacturers without
a market, and shipping without freight; capital with-
out investment, trade without profit, and farmers strug-
gling under a system of high rents, with prices falling as
the means of consumption by the people fail ; a working popu-
lation rapidly increasing, and a daily decreasing demand for its
labour; union-houses overflowing as workshops are deserted;
Corn-laws to restrain impoibation, and inducing a starving
people to regard the laws of their country with a deep
sense of their injustice. These facts call for the immediate
application of adequate remedies. That this Court anxiously
appeals to the First Minister of the Crown to give practi-
cal effect to his declarations in favour of free trade, by
bringing forward, at the earliest possible period, in the ensuing
session of Parliament, such measures for securing the unre-
stricted supply of food, and the employment of the people, as
may effectually remove a condition of depression and distress,
too widely prevailing and too rapidly increa.ing to consist
with the safety of the community, and the preservation of our
social and political institutions. MEREWETHER.

The most rational motives to Life Assurance are found in
the plan adopted by this Society ; viz. joined to a secure
provision at death for inheritors of the Assured, the Society
affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre-
vious payments) in the event of unforeseen reverses.

This Office unites the benefit of a mutual association with the
security of a Proprietary Company, and offers to,the Assured
amongst others the following advantages :

1. Credit until death, with privilege of payment at any time
previously, for one-half of the premiums for the first five years
upon Assurances for the whole of life; a plan peculiarly advan-
tageous for securing Loans.
2. In Loan transactions, the lender secured against the risk
of the b"rrower going out of Europe.
3. Sums assured to become payable at given ages, or death,
if previous.

4. Policies indefeasible ; fraud alone, not error, vitiating
them, and in case the Renewal Premium remain unpaid, the
Assurance may be revived at any time within Six Months, upon
satisfactory proof of health, and payment of a trifling fine.
5. Officers in the Army and Navy, and persons residing
abroad, or proceeding to any part of the world, may be as-
sthed upon equitable terms.
6. Immediate, Survivorship, and Deferred Annuities granted;
and Endowments for Children, and every other mode of pro-
vision for families arranged.

All the rates will be found to have been computed as low as is
consistent with security.

The principle of this Company is to allow to each Assurer
such reasonable advantages, as may suit his particular views.
Thus, parties Assuring the Lives of others, may make their
Policies secure, notwithstanding the Life Assured may go out
of the limits of Europe, without the necessary permission of the
Directors having been previously obtained. Credit of half the
Premiums for the first five years, allowed on Policies effected
for the whole term of Life. Parties who have been Assured
for five years will be allowed to borrow on the security of their
Policies, a sum equal to one-half the Premiums paid, less that
for the first year. Advances are made to parties Assured in
the Office, on real or undoubted Persot.al Security, for terms
not exceeding three years, repayable by instalments. Premiums
moderate.. Participation in profits. Detailed Prospectuses
may be obtained on application at the Office, or by letter
addressed to the Secretary.
