proved; the weakness and ditnness 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 Bye Snuff, 39, Broad-
street, Bloomsbury.

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 any respectable inquirer at my residence as
under.—l remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble
servant, E. Rousos.

19, Bell-street, Edgeware-road, Marylebone.
7, Skinner's Almshouses, Mile-end, Jan. 26, 1839.
Sir 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 forthe last
four or five years suffered much with giddiness in my head
and dimness of sight. I naturally concluded (being in my
G9th 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 TV. Grimstone,Esq.inventor of Eye Sire, 39, Broad-at.
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. LACIIFIELD.

ern, St. James-street, a4s 4d and a3s 4d canister. You

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS.
HE accounts lately received from Macao, brought
intelli-
T gence 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 ce ainly impro-
bable, that any more teas can be obtained m China for a
very considerable period, a great rise i descriptions of
that article has taken place. Since Ju ast, common black
teas have risen ls. 9d., and fine g .1, 3s. per lb. Fine
Hyson, with duty, fetched at the la public sales, 9s. id. per
lb. ; fine black teas as high as Os. ~ whilst up to this mo-
ment, Captain Pidding has conti tied 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. per lb ,
being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d, per lb., when
the commonest teas, since June, have advanced Is. 9d. per lb.
HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he
resent, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea,
cattier in lik
Fs fetching, e
propor wholesaltioe,
n9s.. id.
per lb. Half and quarters
Captain Pidding thinks it light to inform the public that
his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that
thereisno
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.8.--The signature of " Captain JOHN RHODES PID-
DING" is upon every genuine package.
