" Whitehall, Match 8, 1838.
" Mr. Grimstone,—Sir, I think it but justice that I should
offer my acknOwledgrnents to you for the great bem,tit I have
derived from the use of your Eye Snuff. Its action ou
the membrane of the nose, causing the lachrymal glands to
discharge in a manner truly surprising, and by that means
so cleansed 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 G. J.
Guthrie, Esq., F.R.S. recommended me to try your eye
snuff prior to my undergoing an operation. Many thanks to
him for his suggestion. Thanks to your invention, that ope-
ration will not be necessary. Sir, you hare my permission to
make this known in any manner you may think best.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

" Sir,—l have been a sufferer for seven years, both eyes
being so swollen as to cause blindness. Among the many
medical gentlemen who attended me was the famous oculist,
Dr. Alexander : indeed, I do believe my case was beyond all
their skill. Physic, bleeding, blistering, with a seaton, and
all kim's of lotions, but no relief,' till chancing one day being
led by your house, in 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, my
guide inquired if 1 bad tried your Eye Snuff, on which I
purchased a Is. 3d. canister, opened it in the shop, took
some, and was greatly relieved before I reached my home.
I can with truth assert, and make oath if required to do so,
that it was your Eye Snuff cured me. Shall be happy to
answer any inquiry.—l am, sir, yours gratefully,

" L. S. BREWER."

" 10th December, 1840.

" 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 ever since using your valuable eye snuff, which
1 have taken copiously, that is, a 2s. 4d. canister weekly, I
ani quite free from those excruciating pains, and can read the
smallest print, although I tun in the 6 th 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. ROBSON.
