Grimstone's Eye Snuff, we should be most happy to throw
ours into the grand scale of demdnstrations 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.

' March 31, IS3B. •
have been afflicted for many years with a severe
pal A in my head, attended with aZimness of §ig.iit 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 awe respectable inquirer at my residence as
under.—l remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble
servant, E. Ronson.
19, Bell-street, Edgeware-road, 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 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 -Id 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. Grinzstone, Esq. inventor of Eye Snnj7; 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
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, St. James-street, a 4g, 4d and a3s 4d canister. Ydu
can send the change in the parcel for the enclosed half-sove-
reign. J. B. L.

And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral ..71annoratunt:
MoNs. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-DentiAs; respect-
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver-
pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an EstabliS'ament
permanently at No. 38, SEEL-STREET, eight doors from
I3erry-street. They continue to fill up the cavities of De-
cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the
least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in
an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre-
venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro-
gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction
unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell
into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping
up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of
he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth.

Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums. ti:f.Te
are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss
of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It
affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is
the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so
affected, Mons.. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them,
that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint
by a single application, without the slightest pain.
Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed
from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or
giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, an-

TEETOTAL ELocitiENCE.—The teetotallers hadineen.gs
at every town in the kingdom on Good Friday—at White
Conduit House among other places, near the metropolis.
where a genuine son of the Emerald Island addressed the
audience in the following terms :—" Some people said thei
taytotallers would not support the government, and that, t.
gherforirng sLltlig't'e rd
they had their way, the Queen and her German hu,shand
would not have so much as a;tr-geedliilelerrd, in
(Laughter.) Oh, you puny, water-gilled,
wretches,' cried they, why don't you support-the govern-
ment ?' What! was the government to be supported 'by men
whose hair grew four inohes through the crown of their: hats,
whose toes knocked against the stones at every step they took,
and whose shirt hung out at their elbows and knees, and
hadn't smelled soap for three weeks ? The Queen surely did
not wish for such supporters as those. Only think of a fel-
low hay.inga pin stuck in his clothes to keep them together,
they being in such a condition that he could not venture to
stoop, so that if he saw a sovereign lying on the pavement,
he couldn't pick it up, but must keep kicking it and kicking
it until it flew against a wall, and bounded into the air-at such
a height that he might catch it in an erect 'position. Only
think of such a fellow being depended upon as a supporter Of
the government." (Roars of laughter.)
THE RUDE LIGHT.—We had an opportunity last night of
Witnessing the manner in which this brilliant and beautiful
light is about to be applied in lighting the House of Com-
mons. In his present plan Mr. Gurney has departed alto-
gether from the former experiment, as far at least as regards
the method of conveying the light into the body of the house.
The side lamps in the glass roof, by which the light was pro-
jected under as well as into the galleries, are to be no longer
used. The chief light will now he cast into the body of the
house from a lamp of about four feet and a half in diameter,
suspended from the centre of the roof, and raised as high as
the front railing of the side galleries. in the centre of this is
placed an argand burner, of about two and a half inches in
diameter, in which the oil will be consumed " without a wick"
(which will save the necessity of trimming). Through this a
continued stream of oxygen gas will be made to pass in any
quantity, so as to raise the light to any intensity that may be
required. The brilliant flame thus produced will be cast upon
six large reflectors over and round the burner, and thence
thrown (through plates of ground glass, forming the bottom
of the lamp) on the floor and sides of the • house. In-order
to give light to the galleries two other burners are suspended
at a short distance from the roof, and a few yards in front 03
.
the galleries at each end. These, when completed (which
they were not last night), will be altogether shaded from the
eyes of personsin the house, but will be so contrived as to
throw their lights on the roof, the reflection from which will,
it is said, be sufficient for the galleries. The arrangements
for lighting the reporters' gallery are not yet finished, but
we have no doubt that every thing which skill avd a desire
to accommodate can do will be done by Mr. Gurney t?
pro-
duce alight for that part of the house which will give (ra tar
as that is practicable) satisfaction to all parties. It 1:i
in till-
possible, until the entire apparatus is complete, and full
operation, to say whether.the plan as a whole will he success-
ful ; but from what we saw last night, and from the explana-
tions given of what is
yet to be done, we should say it has
chance of being so, and that it fully deserves it. Oat:
decided advantage which it will have over candles will be,
that of so fully carrying off the heat generated by the corn-
- bustion of the oil and oxygen, as to make. no 'perceptible
change in the temperature of the house.—Tones of Tuectloii.
