Copy of a Letter.

sg, Kirby-street, Hatton-garden. Dec. 26, 1842.
Sir,—l was from my childhood afflicted with dimness of sight,
and as I advanced in years became almost blind. My husband
being a medical practitioner, every oculist of any eminence was
consulted. but unfortunately without any zeal relief. I was re.
commended by one of my friends, although a member of the
profession, who said he had taken it for a few months with the
happiest result : he being relieved from inflammation after long.
suffering, induced me to give it a trial. I have taken four 2s 4d
canisters, and shall continue to use it to the end of my days, for
I have derived so much benefit from using it, that I can now
read without the assistance of any kind of eye glasses. I shall
feel happy at any time to acknowledge the great cure your Eye
Snuff has made in my case. Make what use you may please of
this testimony, and remember, I am in my seventieth year, and
can read and ao needlework much better than I could for the
last forty years, without any glasses.
I am, Sir, yours gratefully,
0. ForriErtotr.L.
Widow of the late Dr. Fothergill.
