The Rev. WILLIAM HETHERINGTON's CHARITY to the
BLIND; established 1774. '
CHRIST'S HOSPITAL, LONDON.

`WHEREAS, the above-named Gentleman, in his
life-time' enalsled the Governors of this Hospital to pay
Annuities of 101. to each of fifty blind persons, in she hope that
his example w 001... he followed by other benevolent characters
the thrvernors give this public notice, that from the very munifi-
cent additions made to Mr. Hetherington's original Fund, by deed
of gift, and by will, they are now enabled to extend the annuity
to upwards of 400 other persons.
The Governors give this public notice, that from the 15th Oc-
tober to the 3d November, in every year, they are ready to issue
from the Counting-house of the Hospital, upon th personal ap-
plication of a Friend*, Petitions for any blind persons duly qua-
lified.

The leading qualifications are stated hereunder; and unless the
parties can respectively prove themselves strictly within them, the
applications in their behalf will be entirely fruitless:
Birth in England, to the exclusion of WalA.and Berwick-upon-

Age, SO years, and upwards. Residence three years, in their-
present abode, and total Blindness during that period.
Those who have ever begged, received alms, or are deemed
objects for Parish relief, are excluded from the berelt of these
charities, which arc intended" for those who have been reputably
brought up, and who want some addition to what they have, to
make life more comfortable under the misfortune of Blindness."

ABSTERGINT LOTION.
For Removing Obstructions from the Surface of the Skin.
IT is unnecessary to enumerate the advantages re.
suiting to the constitution of every person, by effectually re-
moving obstructions from the surface of the skin, and thereby
keeping free and open the innumerable passages and pores through
which nature expels all useless or noxious humours from the vital
fluid, and which, being obstructed, arc forced back again into the
blood, and become the sources ot• many dangerous diseases. It is
therefore a matter of much consequence, as well to prevent hurt-
ful disorders, as fur the preservation, ease, comfort, and beauty
to persons, (however slightly affected), that they should *tea-
sionally have recourse to the Abstergent Lotion ; but more espe-
cially it becomes urgently requisite when the effects of obstructioa
make their appearance, and break out into pimples, redness, car-
buncles, or other cutaneous eruptions. The Abstergent Li tion
never fails of success with those who give it a fair trial, and as its
price evidently thews that no private emolument is sought for by
the proprietor, so also may the Public be convinced that nothing
but a certainty of its success could induce Dr. SOLOMON to
box, rd the good opinion he is honoured with by all raniv, in pre-
senting them with this Cosmetic, were it not a certain Remedy
fur Het petit Complaint, in general.
The Abstergent Lotion is prepared by Dr. Solomon, of Liver-
pool ; and may be had of every respectable Medicine Vendor in
the milted Xingdoo, "rite 48. It a bottle, daty
