Foreign Snuff and Cigar Merchant, Nottingham.
To Mr. W. Grimstone,39, Broad-street,Bloomsbury, London.
Sir,—l feel great pleasure in sending you the particulars of
my case, and the miraculous cure performed on myself by
your valuable Eye Snuff. Sir, lam now in my ninety-third
year, and a native of Holland. have been in this country 26
years ; whether from change of climate, or my advanced age,
I cannot say, but for six years I have been deprived of sight,
therefore unable to follow my business. Ido most sincerely
believe I should have remained in darkness and pain, but for
the kind recommendation of a friend to use your invention.
I purchased a 2s. 4d. canister of your Agent, Mr. Wilcock.

bear witness to my extraordinary recovery of that most esti-
mable blessing of our life—" perfect sight"-1 declare has
proceeded from the use of your Eye Snuff. For the sake of
those suffering, you may make what use you please of this
letter ; Mr. Wilcockson and many others will vouch for.its

Agent, and so well known in Nottingham.

Abstract of a Letter
.from Mrs. L. S. Brewer, Dressmaker,
3, Edge-terrace, Kensington Gravel Pits.
" 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.-1 am sir, yours gratefully,
" L. S. IhtEwER."

To Wm. Grimstone, Esq.
November 6,1841.

Sir,—Having seen your advertisements, I inquired of some
of those gentlemen who have derived so much relief from
using " your Eye Snuff." I purchased a 2s. -Id. canister for
my son, who was suffering so much from the Head-ache ally
Deafness ; before he had used halt of it, he was cured,w•h►ch
nabled hiu► to follow his profession.—l am, yours gratefully,
M. liAcgaTT•
Mr. Banister, Surgeon, 2, Cross-court, Broad-street.

To IV. Grimatone, Esq., 39, Broad-street.
" 10th December, 1540.
" SIR,-1 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 1 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
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 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.-1 remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble
servant, " E. ROBSON.
" 19, Bell-street, Edgeware-road, Marylehone."
P.S.—Sir, I should not do justice without stating my relief
was almost instantaneous. My Eyes became clear and free
from humour, and by persevering in its use very frequently I
am enabled to read small print without the aid of glasses, and
continue to enjoy God's greatest blessing—Sight ! free from
pain. I have reason to be grateful, and do recommend your
ye Snuff to all 1 know. A. Z. M., Nottingham.
