The extract you lately made from a London paper on the
practice of snuff-taking, not meeting with the best
acceptance from some ladies, you are desired to insert in
your next, the following extract from a London Magazine,
viz.
Six reasons given by a young lady for taking a pinch of
snuf.
When strong perfume and noisome scent
The suff'ring nose invade,
Snuff, best of India weeds, presents
Its salutary aid.
When vapours swim before the eys,
And cloud the dizzy brain,
Snuff, to dispel the mist, applies
Its quick enliv'ning grain.
