CORNS, BUNIONS, &c.
THE Difficulty of procuring a Remedy that is really
beneficial in eradicating those painfully hard and callous
substances called CORNS, has been long felt by the Public.
The Proprietor of the ANTI-CALLOSITY, or RUSSIAN
CORN AND BUNION PLAISTER, feels great confi-
dence in recommending it as the most certain cure for all
Callous Swellings on the Feet that has ever yet been in-
vented. By the use of this Plaister immediate Benefit will
be found, and in a short time a Radical Cure will be ef-
fected, not by cutting (which is generally attended with dan-
ger), but by gradually dispersing the Hard or Soft Corn,
and entirely removing those painful throbbings so severely
felt at every Change of Weather.

IMPORTANT TO LADIES.
II EARSLEY'S ORIGINAL WIDOW WELCH'S
XV FEMALE PILLS, so long and justly celebrated for
their peculiar virtues, are strongly recommended to the no-
tice of every lady,
having obtained the sanction and appro-
bation of most Gentlemen of the Medical Profession, as a
safe and valuable Medicine in effectually removing obstruc-
tions, and relieving all other inconveniences to which the
female frame is liable,
especially those which, at an early
period of life, frequently arise from want of exercise and ge-
neral debility of the system : they create an appetite, correct
indigestion, remove giddiness and nervous headache, and are
eminently useful in windy disorders, pains in the stomach,
shortness of breath, and palpitation of the heart : being per-
fectly innocent, may be used with safety in all seasons and
climates.
The following is the opinion of Dr. Osborne, an eminent
practitioner of Dublin, and Physician to Sir Patrick Dunn's,
and the Mercers' Hospital. In one of his recent lectures,
reported in the Dublin Medical Journal, he makes the fol-
lowing remarks on this Medicine
" THE Winow WELen's Pmts.—These Pills have an
extensive sale, and are in high and long-established repute,
as an effectual remedy in removing obstructions, &c. in
females. One of them was given to a young lady under my
care, with the desired effect following on the same night;
and three other cases came to my knowledge, in which
,
similar result followed their use.'

RESTORED AND DEAFNESS CURED.
Nottingham, 28th August, 1841.
This extraordinary cure is attested by Mr. Jas. Wilcockson,
Foreign Snuff and Cigar Merchant, Nottingham.
To Mr. W. Grimstone, 39, Broad-street,Bloomsbury, London.
feel great pleasure in sending you the particulars of
my case, and the miraculous cure performed en 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 by, 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-
son, Tobacconist, who knows the above to be facts, and will
bear witness to my extraordinary recovery of that most esti-
mable blessing of our life—" perfect sight"—l 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
truth. I refer the sufferers to this gentleman, being your
Agent, and so well known in Nottingham.

I am, sir, your obliged servant,

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.—l am, sir, yours gratefully,

L. S. i3REIVER."

To W. Grimstone, Esq., 39, Broad-street.

" 10th December, 1840.
" Sus,—l have been afflicted for
in many years with a severe
pain in my head, attended with a dimness of sight and dart-
ing pains my eyes, for which I have had the first medical
advice; indeed, I hays 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."
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
Eye Snuff to all I know. A. Z. M., Nottingham.
