Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1842-05-20 00:00:00

A T a PUBLIC. MEETING of the INHABITANTS of
Li_ LIVERPOOL, convened by JOHN SHAW LEIGH,
Esq., Mayor, in compliance with a Requisition numerously
and respectably signed, held this 18th day of May, 1842, in
the Sessions-house,

JOHN SHAW LEIGH, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair.
On the motion of the Rev. Rector BRoolcs, seconded by
LEWIN MOZLEY, Esq.,
It was resolved unanimously,
That the town of Liverpool deeply sympathizes with the
inhabitants of Hamburg under the awful calamity which has
befallen their city, a calamity which must have reduced a
large portion of the population to a state of the most abject
poverty and destitution, and which, from its nature and ex-
tent, has so materially impaired all the ordinary means of
local or even national relief as to justify an appeal to the
generosity and kind feelings of the whole civilized world.
On the motion of HARnmAN EARLE, Esq., seconded ae
JOSEPH SHIPLEY, Esq.,

It was resolved unanimously,
That a subscription be opened in furtherance of this bene-
volent object, and that Mr. Jacob Willink, Vice-Consul at
this port for the city of Hamburg, Mr. J. B. Brancker, and
Mr. 0. Burchardt, his Prussian Majesty's Consul at this
port, be requested to act as joint Treasurers, with authority
to remit the funds as they are collected to the proper autho-
rities appointed in Hamburg for the relief of the houseless
poor.
JOHN SHAW LEIGH, Mayor.
The Mayor having left the chair, the thanks of the meet-
ing were unanimously voted to him.

A FEW OF THE MANY THOUSAND TESTIMONIALS OF SIGHT

RESTORED AND DEAFNESS CURED

Nottingham, 28th August, 1841.
This extraordinary cure is attested by Mr. Jas. \Vilcockson,
Foreign Snuff and Cigar Merchant, Nottingham.

To Mr. W. brimstone, 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-
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,
August 28th, 184.1. ANNIS ZENIA MASSENIA.

To W. Grimstone, Esq., 39, Broad-street.
" 10th December, 1840.
" 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."
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.

The following is one of Don G. Lobe's letters :
Havannah,l4th August, 1841.
Dear Sir,—l had the pleasure to receive in due time your
friendly correspondence and supply of Eye Snuff on the 15th
of August, also the 13th October last year ; however, from
my extraordinary increased consumption of your delightful
compound of herbs known as Grimstone's Eye Snuff, I take
the liberty of asking you to forward by first ship 1500 more
cases same as last. Sir,—l have enclosed you a bill, sixty
days' sight, Messrs. Pinto Perize and Co., Crutched-friars,
London. I further thank you for the appointment received
through the Spanish Consul, Don Pedro Ortiz de Zugasti,
at the court of Great Britain. Please to send the above
Snuff with all possible speed, with a large quantity of Spanish
testimonials. This article has become a favourite amongst
the first circles of nobility and gentry, both for its medicinal
and benign qualities. Indeed it appears to keep off diseases,
as well as cure them, if taken as other snuffs.—l remain, sir,
your most obedient servant, DON G. LOBE.
