those afflicted with Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sci-
atica, Tic-doloreux, Pains in the Head andlace, often mis-

numerous testimonials have been en than to BLAIR'S
GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PI LS, from all parts of the
Kingdom, and every rank in society, their great efficacy is
acknowledged. The recent case of the Chevalier de le Garde,
Chamberlain to Stanislaus, late King of Poland, is one of the
most convincing proofs •of their great and extraordinary
virtues. Similar effects were also experienced by the Rev.
Doctor Blomberg, of Misperton Hall, Yorkshire, Chaplain
to his late Majesty, and Rector of Cripplegate, London, who,
with a spirit of the kindest humanity, voluntarily gave his
testimony to their happy effects. Cases have from time to
time been published, as transmitted by. or who can bear
testimony to their extraordinary efficacy from Mr. Smeeton,
Leeds, Mr. Drewry, Derby, Mr. Noble, Boston, Mr. Drury,
Lincoln, Mr. Hattersby, Barton, Mr. Hall, Gainsborough,
Mr. Gardner, Banbury, Mr. May, Evesham, Mr. Walker,
Malmesbury, Mr. Ching, Launceston, and a multitude of
others throughout the Kingdom, particularly in London and
its vicinity, too numerous for insertion in an advertisement.
The afflicted with those tormenting diseases, Gout, Rheu-
matic Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sciatica, Pains in the
Head and Face, often mistaken for the Tooth-ache. Tic-do-
loreux, &c. will find, from the use of this Medicine, that
speedy relief for which it is so celebrated. And while its
efficacy is unparalleled for the foregoing diseases, it must be
consolatory to the afflicted with Gout, to be assured that it
possesses the property of preventing the disease flying to the
brain, stomach, or other vital part.

SIGHT RESTORED 1 •
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 of the Treasury,)
TS universally recommended by the Faculty for its efficacy
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 Nervous Head-ache it is
completely efficacious, and gives a Natural Sweetness to the
Breath. It may be taken as frequently as other Snuffs, with
the most perfect safety and gratification to the consumer.
Wash the eyes every morning with warm milk and water, to
remove whatever secretion may have been produced during
the night.
Dr. ABERNETHY used it, and termed it. the Faculty's
Friend and Nurse's Vade Mecum.
Dr. ANDREWS also recommends its use as a preventive.
(See his report when in Sunderland, published in the Times,
Cheltenham Journal, and British Traveller, in Nov. 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 membrane 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 universal adoption. Dated 10th Nov.,
1831.

From the John Bull, 6th 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 touchir'r the subject of which
he treats will be read with interest. The discovery of Mr.
Grimstone 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 age.—Editor.
Cheltenham Journal, 22d April, 1839.—" That most emi-
nent oculist;. James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., was so strongly im-
pressed with the utility of snuff not made of tobacco, that in
the third volume of the Medical Society'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.

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.

evere
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 1 am now delighted to say,
with truth, that ever since using your valuable eye snuff, which
1 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 any respectable inquirer at my residence as
under.--I remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble
servant, E. ROBSON.

Sir —I 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 I 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 am happy to say that the great 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 be evinced in recom-
mending it to all I may hereafter meet suffering with those
afflictions.--I am, sir, your most obliged and grateful servant,

Mr. Grimstone,—Sir, I think it butall justice thatB I Ishould
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,

THE ,SHERIFFS OF LONDON AND MIDDLESEX.—We have
it from the best authority, that it is intended to propose Sir
Robert Peel and Lord John Russell as sheriffs of London for
the ensuing year. They are both citizens, and cannot refuse
the office without the payment of a penalty of £6OO. So
much for privilege !—Staffordskire Gazette.
EXTRAORDINARY MONOMANIA.—A Lyons paper states
that a man, rather advanced in life, was arrested, a few days
ago, in that city, on a charge of mendicity. 1-le had made
a considerable collection, aided by certificates from various
ecclesiastics. On his being searched, his pocket-book was
found to contain right bank-notes of 1000 f each, and in his
pockets was a considerable sum in specie. He was questioned
how, with so much wealth, he could venture to degrade him-
self by begging, and replied, that he had a great many grand-
children, to whom he wished to leave a ham/Some indepen-
dence. He was, in fact, a lunatic, with the monomania of
mendicity, and has been ascertained to be worth 150,000 f.
He has two sons established in a thriving manufactory near
Rouen, and two daughters, both advantageously married.
His malady came upon him some years ago and his sons
took the precaution of writing to the chief ;magistrates of
the county, warning them ofitb,is
and requesting that he might
T
be sent back to his family. has been complied with by
the Procureur du Roi of Lyons.
RUFFS.—Queen Elizabeth and her ladies are represented
in all pictures as whalebone,casedin with waists very long,
small
and made excessivelyby tight lacing; with enormous
stiff ruffs round their throats, and small caps of point-lace,
which now go by the name of Queen Elizabeth's cousin, Mary
Queen of Scots. The ruff was sometimes kept upright by a
wire frame ; and was sometimes so stiffly starched as to stand
up by itself. Starch of various kinds came into fashion ; and,
in the next reign, a certain Mrs. Turner brought over from
abroad the method of making yellow starch, which was so
much admired, that every fashionable lady appeared in a yel-
low ruff done up with Mrs. Turner's starch. Mrs. Turner
was at length hanged for murder. She appeared on the scaf-
fold in a handsome yellow ruff. Every lady threw away hers ;
and not a yellow ruff was ever seen more. The starching of
ruffs became so important a business, that a Dutch woman,
named Van der Plasse, came to London to carry on and teach
the art. The premium she asked was five pounds—a great
sum in those days—and an additional pound for the secret of
preparing the starch.—Guide to Trade.

TO THE PUBLIC OP LIVERPOOL
AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD.
LEAVING been appointed to take the Management of
1..1. various SoCieties connected with the Town of Liverpool,
I feel it my duty.to lay their several claims plain] hd clearly
before von.
The very little support which even the ost favoured of
/if
them have received, considering the we and importance.
of the Town, must be accounted for, imagine, from their
objects and views not having been prominently brought be-
fore all classes of the Inhabitants.
I may just state, in corroboration of this, that there is not
one person, out of every hundred in Liverpool, who subscribes
to any of the charities of the town, and not one in ten (whose
names appear in the Directory) who subscribes to any of these-
charities, and of these it may fairly be presumed that scarcely
the name of one appears who might not subscribe something.
I will now give a brief summary of the objects of the va-
rious Societies, and shall he in attendance at my Office every
day, from Ten to Four o'clock, where I shall be most happy
to receive Donations or Subscriptions, large or small, to any
or all of the following Associations.
- JOSEPH CRISP, 38, Church-street.
Liverpool Protestant Association.
The object of this Association is,—First, to combine in one
Christian brotherhood of self-defence all who truly love true re-
ligion and genuine liberty ; all who sincerely advocate the free
circulation of the unmitilated and unadulterated Word of
God ; all who assert and defend the right of private judgment
all who venerate the inviolable sanctity of au oath; all real
loyalists who maintain the unrivalled and universal supremacy
of the King or Queen of England within these realms,. and
renounce, abjure, and detest .any allegiance whatever to any
foreign power or potentate, ecclesiastical or civil. This is
the direct object of our Protestant Association. considered in
,its Scriptural foundation, and its national exercise. Our
second object is, to address. ourselves with' earnest affection
to those of our fellow-'countrymen AZIro have the'misfortune
still to labour under anti-scriptural and anti-national pre.
judices ; who are denio the free circulation of the pure word
of God, and the right of private judgment ; who are taught
that oaths, under certain circumstances, may and ought to
be violated ; and who are conmianded to yield their first and
highest allegiance to a foreign ecclesiastic.al authority.
The alarming spread of Popery, and the apathy of British
Protestants, render the exertions of this Society of the most
vital importance to the well-being of. the country, and the con-
tinuance of the invaluable blessings of civil & religious liberty.
The mode of working is, by Petition, Public Meetings, and
the circulation of Tracts;,&c. containing useful and important
information. The Association being now in active opera-
tion, stands hiuch in need of increased funds. The rule of
the Society constituting membership, is as follows :—" That
all persons professing faith in the Holy Trinity, and being
members of, on friendly to, the Established Church of Eng-
land and Scotland, who shall subscribe five shillingS annually,
or give a donation of one guinea at any one time, shall be
Members of this Association."
Church Missionary Society.
The objects of this Society are so well known that it is
needless now to recapitulate them. I would, therefore,
merely add, that the deficiency in the Society's funds of
nearly £ll,OOO, and the strong and urgent calls from India
for more Missionaries, render the claims of the Society more
than ever pressing.

Hibernian Society.
The following facts are sufficient to show the importance
of this Society in promoting the spiritual welfare of the Irish
people :
I.—There are in Ireland between two and three millions of
Irish-speaking population, of whom two millions speak
English as well ; and between five and six million's who
speak English exclusively.
2.—Among the English-speaking population . who area large
majority of the Irish nation, the London Hibernian So-
ciety is principally employed ; while, at the same time,
for those who speak Irish only, it appoints Irish-speaking
Scripture-readers, and forms, where it is required, Irish
classes in its schools.
3.—lt is the principal Society to which the Irish Clergy,
and Protestants in general, look for aid in establishing
and maintaining their Scriptural Schools, and a far
greater number of applications are received from them,
in the present state of the funds, can be complied with.
4.—The number of Day-shools is 1157, containing 91,066
Scholars, of whom 34,067 are Children of Roman Ca-
tholic Parents. '
Will you not help Ireland by supporting such a So-
ciety as this ? Every security is given that your money
will be prudently expended. No aid is afforded except
where the Rules of the Society are abided by ; the prin-
cipal of which are, that the whole Scripture shall be read
in the Schools, and portions committed to memory ; and that
every School shall submit to a quarterly examination by a
competent Inspector, whom the Society appoints. Its plan
is so econimical that a child is educated for a year for little
more than half-a-crown. Have you thus educated a child—
or, if not, will you not do it ?
Lancashire Lord's Day Society.
The sanctities of the Divine appointment of the Lord's
Day are continually invaded from new quarters, and among
increasing multitudes, by the spirit of commerce, or of,
worldly pleasure ; while the bulwarks of law, raised to defend
them, are no more efficient for that object than the fortresses
of antiquity to resist the alterations and improvements of
modern warfare. On these accounts, there seemed an abk-
lute necessity that the friends of religion—who feel the favour
of God to be the only safety and prosperity of a people—
should ,eattabine in acme. eft;ort. -(moire-pcacteviel-titan nook'
proceed from individual exertions, however zealously made,)
to stand in the breach against the wide and wasting flood of
Sabbath violations, by the formation of a Society which
should have for its object the amendment of public feeling
and principle on this momentous subject—the diffusion of
spiritual light upon the common mind—the assistance cf
those who might wish for help in the high duty of keeping
holy the Lord's Day—and especially of such legislators as
might have Christian courage to lift up their voices in the
deliberate assemblies of the nation against this great trans-
gression of the country.
The Society's operations are carried on by the instrumen-
tality of placards, addresses, memorials, tracts, and petitions
to Parliament.
Church Pastoral Aid Society.
This Society has especial claims upon the town of Liver-
pool, as it is the means of providing many additional curates
and scripture readers, at an annual expense of £590, while
the returns from the town for the past year were but £ll7.
Surely Liverpool should, as an auxiliary, return more than
she receives.
The three following societies are especially devoted to the
benefit of the seamen, and of those engaged in navigation
on the canals, and therefore deserve the cordial support of
all who are connected with the shipping and commerce of
this port.
The Mariner's Church
Has now been established, under the patronage of the Bishop
of the Diocese, for more than twelve years ; and, as far as its
means will allow, is carrying out the objects of the institution
with increasing benefit. But their exertions are limited, for
want of further support, and owing to the necessary repairs
of the church, which have been lately effected, the Society is
still involved in debt. It is, therefore, confidently hoped
that the public will assist in liquidating this, and by increased
subscriptions enable the committee to enlarge their sphere of
usefulness, by opening schools for the children of seamen and
flatmen.
The Naval and Military Bible Society,
and Prayer Book and Homily Society.
Are also in great need of assistance. Their object is to visit
the shipping, by means of an agent who is employed for that
purpose, and to supply the crews with prayer-books and
homilies, and copies of the Scriptures, at reduced prices ;
and, by a law of the Parent Naval and Military Bible Society,
it is their wish to place on board every ship, flat, and steam-
boat, which leaves the port, a gratuitous supply of the Scrip-
tures, for the use of the crew (in proportion to the number of
the men), where there are no means of selling them. I truA
that the claims of these Societies will meet with a willing re-
sponse from all who are interested in the well-being of the
seamen, as their funds are totally inadequate to carry out
this desirable object without involving the parent society in a
considerable loss.
Trinitarian Bible Society.
The peculiar object of the Trinitarian Bible Society is to
publish faithful Protestant Versions of the Holy Scriptures,
in the Portuguese, Spanish, and German languages, in the
translation of which they are already engaged: and it will be
the particular design of the Liverpool Auxiliary, in addition
to the ordinary modes of circulating the Word of God, to em-
ploy an intelligent pious person, as an agent, to visit the abodes
of the poor and ignorant, whom there is no other means of
reaching, for the purpose of inducing them to take an inte-
rest in the Holy Scripture, and to become purchasers by
weekly or monthly subscriptions.
Liverpool Jewish Institution.
The object of this Institution is to provide a temporary
asylum for enquiring and converted Jews, and after eighteen
months' experience, it has amply answered the benevolent
intentions of the promoters.
While the inquirer can obtain relief for a time, where he
may be protected against the persecutions of his brethren,
the mode of living is so plain as not to offer an inducement to
false or insincere professions. Much good is being done ;
but the funds are so inadequate, that unless friends come
forward more liberally with their means, the whole institu-
tion must be given up.
Irish Sunday School Society,
To promote the establishment and facilitate the conducting
of Sunday schools in Ireland, by disseminating the most
approved principles for the management of such schools, by
supplying them with spelling-books, and copies of the Sacred
Scriptures, or extracts, without note or comment, either gra-
tuitously or at reduced prices.
Society for Promoting Chwistianity
amongst the Jews.
The name of this Society sufficiently explains its object.
It is to lead the lost sheep of the house of Israel to that Sa-
viour whom they crucified.
Christians are under a heavy obligation to the Jews, for it
was by them that the Sacred Volume was preserved, and to
them they stand indebted for Christianity itself. But they
should feel interested on their behalf, not only for the blessings
of the past, but on account of the glory that is in store for
the world when the Jews shall be restored to their own land.
There arc 50 Agents in connection with the Society, anti of
these, eight church clergymen and twenty-three missionaries
arc converted Jews.
The Society has the strongest claims upon all Christians.
The whole income of all the above Societies together, in
the wealthy and important town of Liverpool, with a popula-
tion of above 200,000 persons, amounts to little more than
£3OOO. Surely there are 20,000 persons in the town (a
tenth of the population), who could afford ss. per annum
to the whole of the above Societies together, and this
would produce £5OOO. Or, are there not ten congre-
gations, from each of which 500 persons could be found
willing to subscribe 2s. Gd. per annum to any of the
above of which they approve ; and this alone would
produce £5OOO. Let every one do something, be it ever so
small, and the funds of all will shew a vast increase at the
end of 1840, when, God willing, I hope again to lay the finan-
cial state of the various Societies before the public. In the
mean time, I shall be most happy to give every information
in my power respecting the operations and general eil-
cieney of all the above associations.
Subscriptions also received for the
SCHOOL FOR THE SONS OF THE IRISH CLERGY.
HOME & COLONIAL INFANT SCHOOL SOCIETY.
COLONIAL CHURCH SOCIETY.
