PATENT PERRYIAN FILTER INKSTAND.
THIS novel and useful Invention insures an instantaneous
supply of CLEAR FILTERED INK in the cup of the
Filter, which can be returned into the Inkstand at any mo-
ment, where it is secured from injury, and not affected by
'he atmosphere. The Ink, thus protected, never thickens
or moulds, and remains good for any length of time in any
climate. The process of filtration causes the colouring mat-
ter to be held in suspension ; hence the trouble and inconve-
nience occasioned by unsuitable Ink, generally found in
ordinary Inkstands, are completely obviated by the use of
the FILTER INKSTAND. One of moderate size will
contain sufficient Ink for six or twelve months' writing.

SIGHT RESTORED !
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 Ryes 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 consutner.
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 Grinastone'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 touching the subject of which
he treats will be read with interest. The discoiery 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.
Cheltenha»z 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. 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.

SlR,—Having 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 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.

- 31,
SIR,—I have been afflicted for man March
March
with a slB3B.
ever
pain in my head, attended with a dimness of sight and dart-
e
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 &lighted 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.—l remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble
servant, E. RousoN.
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-
street.

itell, Mch 8, 1838.
Mr. Gritnstone,—Sir, I think With 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.
P.S.—Sir, be pleased to send to the Thatched House Tav-
ern,u St. James-street, a 4s 4d and a 3s 4d canister.ial You
