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 deafness, 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. H. ADAMS.

To Mr. W.-Orimstone

Any quantity of Eye Snuff canbe forwarded through the General
Pekr. by sending money orders. A 2s. 4d. canister, with direction/3,
will Cost and eo on in like proportion
