A SNUFF ADVERTISEMENT. 271 



God's assistance it hath been performed already on 

 many. And I think it my dnty to let the world know 

 it, that they may not bear so many miserable ailments 

 that is capable of curing. I hear it is reported abroad, 

 I am dead, and that the world is imposed on ; but, 

 thank God, I am. alive, and put my dependence on 

 him, and that he will give me leave to do some more 

 service before I go hence. But suppose I was dead, 

 my Snuff is alive, and I hope it will live after I am 

 dead, as it is capable of keeping the world in sprightly 

 life and health, which must be allowed to be the 

 greatest blessing in the world. But what is riches 

 without that ? And what would some have given for 

 some of these reliefs before it was advertised ? But 

 you are all heartily welcome at this price of sixpence, 

 at present, but I should be glad of more from the 

 rich. I do assure you it is sold at this price in regard 

 to the poor only.
