Important to Families, Travellers, Sportsmen, Captains of
Ships, and all Fersons *offering from Disorders of the
Stomach and
AiroxqN:s EFFERVESCENTBoweIs
MAGNESIAN APE-
111 RIENT possesses all the efficacy of the most approved
Saline Purgatives, without the disagreeable taste which ren-
ders medicines of that class so obnoxious to the palate and
stomach. Its operation is mild, effectual, unattended by
pain or inconvenience, and does not induce any liability to
take cold, or establish a necessity for the habitual use of
Aperient Medicines. It is of eminent service in Pains in the
Head, Sick Headache, Casual or Habitual Costiveness,
Bilious Affections, Nausea, Sickness, Heartburn, Gout, Piles,
Fistula, and for derangement of the Stomach and Head, re-
sulting from excess either in eating or drinking. The effer-
vescence which takes place during its administration is
peculiarly grateful to the stomach, and in many cases of
extreme irritability of that organ, it has been retained after
all other medicines have been :rejected, and has succeeded in
allaying the excessive vomiting after other means have failed.
As an adjunct to the Harrogate, Cheltenham, and other wa-
ters. its valuable properties are well known. Many testimo-
nials of its efficacy, with other particulars, are inserted in the
bill wrapped round each bottle.—Prepared only by Benjamin
Moxon and Sons, Chemists, Hull. Sold in Bottles at 2s. 9d.

CENTRATED COMPOUND DECOCTION OF SAR-
SAPARILLA, prepared by Benj. Moxon and Sons in strict
accordance with the London Pharmacopmia ; a preparation
which has obtained extensive patronage both from medical
men and the public. The Compound Decoction of Sarsa-
parilla is almost a specific in Scurvy, Scrofula, Scorbutic
Eruptions, Roughness of the Face, Chronic Rheumatism,
Liver Affections, Syphilis, and those affections resulting from
the excessive use of Mercury • but its preparation requires a
long time, and apparatus Which few can obtain. All its
virtues, without any of its inconveniences, are contained in
the concentrated preparation ; a teaspoonful being equal to
a quarter of a pint, may be taken in a wine glass of water, so
as not to oppress or relax the stomach by quantity. In Bot-
tles at 4s. Gd., 125., and 225. Ask for Moxon's Concentrated

NERVOUS HEAD-ACHE CURED
GRIMSTONE'S CELEBRATED EYE 'SNUFF,

Under the patronage of his late Majesty, her Royal High-
ness the Duchess of Kent, and the Lords qfthe Trearury,)
luniversally recommended by the Faculty for its eiliejcv
in removing Disorders incident to the Eyes and Head.
It will prevent Diseases of a Scrofulous Nature affecting the
Nerves of the Head. In cases of Nervolis Head-ache it is

completely efficacious, and gives a Natural Sweetness to the
Breath. It may be taken as frequently as other Snails, With
the most perfect safety and gratification to the consumer.
Wash the eyes every morning with warm milk end water, to
remove whatever secretion mad• have been produced during
the night.
Dr. ABERNETUV USeil it, and termed it the. Famity's

Friend and Nurse's Vade Mecum.
Dr. Asnniivrs also recommends its use as a. preventive

(See his report when in Sunderland, publiAhed in the Times,
Cheltenham. Journal, and British Traveller, in N0v..1831.)

He says, " the herbaceous quality of the snuff had such effect
on the stomach, as well as the nerves of the head, from the

tenacious sympathy of the ,inembrane of the nose with the
nervous system, that Grimstone's Eye Snuff,. when taken
frequently, must prevent any contagion entering the-system,
and recommends its t; iversal adoption. Dated Nov. 10, 1831.

From the John Bull, Gth May, 1839.—We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cheltenham Journal, being struck by its re-
ference to that eminent and successful oculist, James Ware,
Esq., F.R.S., whose opinion touching the subject of which
he treats will be read with interest. The discovery of Mr.
Grimstoue is simple, gentle, and certain, and by its unfailing
influence on the nervous fabric of the head, possesses the un-
questionable power of relieving, assisting, and prolonging the
sight even to extreme old a; e.— 4:ditor.
Cheltenham Journal, 22d April, 1839.—" That most emi-
nent oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., was so strongly ha-
pressed with the utility of snuff not made of tobacco, that in
the third volume of the Medical Soc'ety's Works; page 334,
this able oculist read several cases of gutta serena cured by
the plentiful use of snuff. This snuff was made without the
aid of tobacco, that being too great a narcotic to be used as
a remedy. The anticipations of this gentlemen have been
fully realised by Mr. William- Grimstone, the Inventor of
Eye Snuff, made from aromatic herbs, so judiciously ar-
ranged as in almost every case of disease touching the eye,
ear, and the delicate organs of the head, to produce a certain
cure."—Editor.

ANATOMICAL YEN US.
A WISH having been expressed, by many Gentlemen, that a
longer time should be allowed for viewing this very extra-
ordinary Production of Art, and a fuller description given,
the Proprietor announces, that he has prevailed upon the
kindness of P. S. MURPHY, M.D., to deliver an hour's
LECTURE illustrative of this Figure, on SATURDAY next,
the 30th May, at Twelve o'clock precisely. Dr. Murphy
will not accept of any remuneration ; therefore the Proprietor
intends to dispose of part of the receipts as a Donation to the
Norton-street Institution for the Diseases of the Eye and
Skin.

Only 20 Gentlemen will be admitted, at 2s. Gd. each. An
early application will be necessary to insure Tickets, which
may be had at the Exhibition-room, 53, 8011-street.
N.B.—The Exhibition, both before and after the time of
the Lecture, will go on as usual.
Last Friday the room was crowded with Ladies.

" There are, perhaps, few articles which are so universally
used as snuff, and various and innumerable have been the
devices to tickle our noses at the expense of our pockets, but
there is only one snuff—albeit many have been attempted—
which has proved of any value, or indeed realised the inten-
tion of the consumers. Grimstone's Eye Snuff is a delightful
and fragrant compound, and possesses properties peculiarly
its own; for, unlike all other snuffs, it is really of essential
and important service to persons of studious habits, and of
weak and infirm sight ; and if we may judge by the numerous
medical gentlemen who have borne testimony to its merits,
and the many well authenticated cures it has performed, it is
not undeserving of the high esteem which it has already
attained, not only in this but in other countries."—Old Eng-
land, 11111 January, 1840.

"We should be glad to see this snuff in general use. It is
a safe and powerful restorative.—Manchester Chronicle.

Your's, G. SmITH

" GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Notwithstanding the sys-
tem of puffing which is carried on in this vast metropolis, we
rsally must claim for Mr. Grimstone the distinction of being
a benefactor to his species. We have had ocular demonstra-
tion of the value of his snuff, which we tried out of curiosity,
having at the same time a slight affection cf opthalmia, which
the use of the snuff very speedily removed. We therefore
cordially recommend it to the public."— Crow)z , Aug. 26,1835.
" If any testimony were wanting to prove the efficacy of
Grimstone's Eye Snuff, we should be most happy to throw
ours into the grand scale of demonstrations and proofs already

The Marchioness de Broglio Solari presents her best com-
pliments to Mr. W. Grimstone, and has the pleasure to in-
form him that she had the most convincing proofs of the be-
neficial qualities of his Herbaceous Eye Snuff, in many cases
of its restorative power, both of sight and hearing.
Mr. Grimstone—sir, you are at liberty to make use of her
name. Sept. 22, 1838, 26, Charlotte-street.
Copy of a letter sent to Mr. Grimstone, July 9, 1838.
SlR,—Having been afflicted with bad eyes for a long time,
a friend who had received benefit from using your eye :muff
recommended it to me. I have taken the contents of your
2s. 4d. canisters, and am happy to say my sight has im-
proved; the weakness and dimness is removed; and, sir, it:
is my wish wish that you make this known for the good of
the public.

To Mr. Grimstone, inventor of Eye Snuff, 39, Broad-
street, Bloomsbury. _

March 31, 1838.
SIR,---I have been afflicted for many years with a severe
pain in my head, attended with a dimness of sight and dart-
ing pains in my eyes, for which I have had the first medical
advice ; indeed, I have taken large quantities of medicine,
without receiving any relief; but I sin now delighted to say,
with truth, that ever since using your valuable eye snuff, which
I have taken copiously, that is, a 2s. 4d. canister weekly, I
am quite free from those excruciating pains, and can read the
smallest print, although I am in the 65th year of my age.
This is my third testimony, and I shall be most happy to give
it to you or to an, respectable inquirer at my residence as
under.—l remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble
servant, E. RonsoN.
19, Bell-street, Edgeware-road, Marylebone.
7, Skinner's Almshouses. Mile-end, Jan. 26, 1839.
Sir,—l think it my incumbent duty to return you my grate-
ful acknowledgments of the efficacy of your invaluable " eye
snuff." You must understand, sir, that 1 have for the last
four or five years suffered much with giddiness in my head
and dimness of sight. I naturally concluded (being in my
69th year) that it was the decay of nature, and was advised
by a friend, who said much in its favor, and the extraordinary
virtues of your celebrated invention, I was induced to give it
a trial, and I FM happy to say that the greet and signal benefit
I have derived from the use of four 2s 4d canisters has ena-
bled me to lay aside my spectacles, has given me great relief
in my head, and I feel so thoroughly convinced of its benign
virtues, that my gratitude shall ever he evinced in recom-
mending it to all I may hereafter meet suffering with those
afflictions.—l am, sir, your most obliged and grateful servant,
To W. Grimstone. Esq. ANN Cols..
To W. Griinstone, Esq. inventor of Eye Snvjr, 39, Broad-st.
Whitehall, March 8, 1838.
Mr. Grimstone,—Sir, I think it but justice that I should
offer my acknowledgments to you for the great benefit I have
derived from the use of your most exquisite fragrant com-
pound, composed of herbs, called Eye Snuff; its action on
the membrane of the nose, causing the lachrymal glands to
discharge in a manner truly surprising, and by that means
to cleanse the cornea, that my eyes became healthy, strong,
and performed their wonted duties in a manner that 1 have
not known the blessing of for six years. The renowned Dr.
Guthrie recommended me to try your eye snuff prior to my
undergoing- an operation. Many thanks to him for his sug-
gestion, thanks to your invention, that operation will not be
necessary. Sir, you have my permission to make this known
in any manner you think best.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
J. B. LACIIFIELD.
P.S.—Sir, be pleased to send to the Thatched House Tav-
ern, St. James-street, a4s 4d and a3s 4d canister. You
can send the change in the parcel for the enclosed half-sove-
reign. J. B. L.
