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 have
not known the blessing of for six years. The renowned G. J.
Guthrie, Esq., F.R.S. recommended me to try your eye
an operation. Many thanks to
snuff prior to my undergoing
him for his suggestion. Thanks to your invention, that ope-
ration will not be necessary. Sir, you have my permission to
make this known in any manner you may think best.

" 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.—I am, sir, yours gratefully,

" L. S. BREWER."

" 10th December, 1840.
" Sin.,—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
" E. ROBSON.

BOTANIC OIL, for the Preservation of the Hair.—
J. M. begs to acknowledge the most flattering testimonials
from many parts of the kingdom. The price, in pot boxes, 25.,
3s. 6d., and ss. J. M. begs to announce to his Friends and
the Public, he has used the Botanic Oil, for the preservation
of his Hair, thirty years—a very fair experiment; if any
change during that period hiss taken place, it is for the bet-
ter, his Hair b-ing more healthy now than thirty years ago.
The genuine Botanic Oil possesses emollient properties of
great utility, independent of the Hair.

T PRIESTLEY, CHEMIST, Lord-street, begs particu-
o larly to call the attention of his Friends and the Public
to the undermentioned selection of Preparations, compound-
ed at his Laboratory, a trial of any of which will convince
the most sceptical of their decided superiority.
THE FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA.

In this preparation are concentrated all the Weiicinriiro-
perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who,
from various causes, would experience great inconvenience,
or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the
Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses
the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate,
will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much
esteemed Medicine.

Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine-
glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to
half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed
by the London, Edinburgh. and Dublin Pharmacopoeias.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are
those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive
Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c., arising from a diseased
state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim-
ples, &e. from the Face, this Medicine has no superior.
The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation
has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of
Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the
Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses
no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is
injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation.
PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS.
Which approach nearer than anything yet discovered to
the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of pre-
paring PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to
himself, and combines scientific skill with great accu-
racy; and though numbers of people unacquainted with
the business, and others, have of late years attempted imita-
tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com-
pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me-
dicinal properties of the Seidlit: Waters.

Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders,
to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s.
each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex-
portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time
in all climates.

VEGETABLE HAIR OIL

Is allowed to be an excellent discovery for invigorating and
renovating the human Hair. It eradicates the Scurf, nou-
rishes the Hair, prevents its falling off, produces a most beau-
tiful natural curl, and gives to artificial Hair a peculiar soft-
ness of texture and luxuriant appearance. Sold in Bottles
at Is. 3d. and 3s. each.
