RESTORED AND DEAFNESS CURED

" 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 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
so cleansed the cornea, that my eyes became healthy, strong,
and performed their wonted duties in a manner that 1 hare
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 willnot be necessary. Sir, you have my permission to
make this known in any manner you may think best.
" I am, sir, your obedient servant,
" J. B. LACHFIELD.
" P.S. Be pleased to send to the Thatched House Tavern,
St. James's-street, a 4s. 4d. and two 2s. 4d. canisters. You
can send the change in the parcel for the enclosed half sove-
reign.

O. J. Guthrie, Esq., P.R.S. This eminent Surgeon and
Oculist has attested to the truth of this Letter.

"The Marchioness de Broglio Solari presents her best com-
pliments to Mr. W. Grimstone, and has the pleasure to in-
form him she has had the most convincing proofs of the be-
neficial qualities of his Herbaceous Eye Snuff, in many cases
of its restorative power, both of sight and hearing.

" Mr. Grimstone—sir, you are at liberty to nake use of
her name. Sept. 22, 1838, 46, Charlotte-street."
Copy of a letter sent to Mr. Griinstone, Jan. 2, 1841.

" Sir,-Having been afflicted with bad eyes for a ;Ong time,
a friend wirn had received benefit from using your eye snuff
recommended it to me. I have taken the contents of two 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 that you make this known for the good of
the public. Shall be happy to answer any inquiry.—(Third
Testimony.), " Your's, 66 G. SMITH.

" To Mr. Grimstone, Inventor of Eye Snuff.
" sth December, 1840.
" 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 kinds of lotions, but no relief,' till chancing one day being
led by your house, in 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, my
guide inquired if I had 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."
To W. Gri;nstone, 39, Broad-street.
" 10th December, 1840.
" Stn,—l 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 67th 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. ROBSON.

" 19, Bell-street, Edgeware-road, Marylebone."
From Blackwood's Lady's Magazine, for 1838. To Mr.
W. Grimstone, on his valuable invention of the Eye Snuff,
made from British herbs, for the diseased organs of the head
and eyes:

" Great was the power that did to man impart
Creative genius and inventive art ;
The second praise is, doubtless, Grimstone, thine
Wise was thine head, and great was thy design ;
Our precious sight from danger now set
free, ,
Wives, widows, fathers, praises sing to thee.'

" Sir,—The relief I have derived from using your justly
.elebrated Eye Snuff surprised both me and my friends in-
deed, after being under medical advice for Ophthalmia for
very many years, and left without hope. I now give you my
testimonial to the efficacy of your Eye Snuff, for that, and
that alone, has restored my sight.-1 am, your obedient ser-
vant, " H. MAUNDER MAY.

" Sir,—l take the liberty of enclosing cash for a further
supply. lam now happy to inform you that the person who
has used your valuable Eye Snuff, being blind for the last six
months, with a most distressing headache during twelve
months, is greatly relieved from the latter, and nearly restored
to the former, so much so that he can see to the distance of
half a mile, doctors and medicine having all been useless.—
Yours, &c. &e. " THOMAS S. WALLACE.
