in
n the stomach, as well as the nerves of the head, from the
enacious sympathy of the membrane of the nose with the
ervous system, that Grimstone's Eye Snuff, when taken
equently, must prevent any contagion entering the system,

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 touching 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-
prtssed 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 gutty 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.

" There are, perhaps, few articles which are so universally
used as snuff, and various and innumerable have been the
devices to tickle our hoses 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 perfornied, it is
not undeserving of the high esteem which it has already
attained, not only in this but in other countries."—Old Eng-
land, 11th January, 1840.
"We should be glad to see this snuff in general use. It is
a safe and powerful restorative.—Manchester Chronicle.
" GRIMSTONE'S EYE SlS'UFF.—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 of opthalmia, which
the use of the snuff very speedily removed. We therefore
cordially recommend it to the public."—Crown, Aug. 26,1838.
" 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
possessed by the inventor. Literary men, and individuals
accustomed to sedentary habits or long reading, will find this
snuff invaluable in keeping off headache, dizziness, &c. &c.

SIRS been afflicted with bad eyes for a long time,
a friend who had received benefit from using your eye snuff
recommended it to me. I have taken the contents of your
2s. 4d. canisters, and am happy to say my sight has un-
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. _ _ _

6, York-place, Kentish Town. Your's, G. SMITH.
To Mr. W. Grimstone, inventor of Eye Snuff, 39, Broad-
street, Bloomsbury.

Match 31, 1838.
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 am now delighted to say,
with truth, that eve 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.—l remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble
servant, E. Rousow.
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 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.—l am, sir, your most obliged and grateful servant,
To W. Grimstone, Esq. ANN COLE.
To W. Grimstone, Esq. inventor of Eye Snuff; 39, Broad-rt.
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. LACHFIELD.

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS.
PHE accounts lately received from Macao, brought intelli-
gencel of the English having been totally expelled from
China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between
Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendent in
person, and Chinese men of war; in other words, China is
at war with England. And the questions upon which the
two countries are now at issue being of such difficult adjust-
ment as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro-
bable, that any more teas can be obtained from China for a
very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of
that article has taken place. Since June last, common black
teas have risen ls. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine
Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 'id. per
lb. ; fine black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up to this mo-
ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be
sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise,
however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who
found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than
they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he .is compelled to
raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased
by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding's How-
QUA'S 'MIXTURE will.be sold at the rate of 6s. 9d. ner lb.,
being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when the commonest teas, since June, have advanced ls.
au SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold,9d ftrrthe
present, at Os.
9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea,
is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb
catties in like proportions. • Half and quarter
Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that
his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no
probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the
least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable
tea in Great Britain will be exhausted before that period,
there is little doubt but tea will advance daily.
These Teas consist of Captain. Pidding's HOWQUA'S
MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S
SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER,in Chinese Catty Packages.
N.B.—The signature of " Captain JOHN RHODES PID-
DING" is upon every genuine package.
