GRIMSTONE'S CELEBRATED EYE SNUFF,
Under the patronage of his late Majesty, her Royal High-
ness the Duchess of Kent, and Lo de of the Treasury,)
TS universally recommended by th acuity for its efficacy
the
1. in removing .Disorders inciden to the Eyes and Head.
It will prevent Diseases of a Scr loos Nature affecting the
Nerves of the Head. In cases 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 safetyand 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 Nov. 10,1831.
G. J. GIITBRIE, Esq., F.R.S.—This eminent surgeon

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-
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. %% illiam 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 noses at the expense of our pockets, but
there is only, one snuff—albeit many have &en 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 gentlempn 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, 11th January, 1840.
" We should be glad to see this snuff in general use.
a safe and powerful restorative.—Manehester Chronicle

" GRIBISTONE'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 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.

The Marchioness de Broglio Solari presents her best com-

of its restorative power, both of sight and hearing.

Copy of a letter sent to Mr. Grimstone, July 9, 1838.
Sut,—Having been afflicted with bad eyes for a long time,
s 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 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. W. Grimstone, inventor of Eye Snuff, 39, Broad-

- March 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 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. ROBSON.
19, Bell-street, Edgeware-read, Marylebone.
7, Skinner's Almshouses, Mile-end, Jan. 26, 1839.
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 deday 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

mending it to iiil 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-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
nermission to make this known

I am, sir, your obedient servant,
J. B. LACRFIELD.
P.S.—Sir, be pleased to send to the Thatched House Tav-
ern, St. James-street, a4s 4d and aas 4d canister. You
can send the change in the parcel for the enclosed half-sove-
reign. J. B. L.
