I BALTIMORE, September 9. INFORMATION to OLD PEOPLE, How they may preserve the eye-fight, or re cover it after it has failed. This is to bie done while you wa(h, by dipping your face in the water, opening your eyes, and keeping them open under water as long as you can hold your b'reath. Do this three or four times fucceflively eve ry morning. t It will be expefted, no doubt, that I should give an account how I came by tlv's ; knowledge ;it was in this manner :—I ! knew, early in life, that wafliing with cold j water was good against the tooth-ach, and : I have long used that romedy with fucceft. Some years ago I went out a long journey towards the North, and among other incon veniences, I fuffered the want of cold wa ter to wa(h with according to my enftom ; this brought on a violent tooth-ach ; 011 my return I loft several teeth. I applied close ly my former remedy, which at length took away the tooth-ach * but was irot efficacious enough to remove a pain in my gums, at the roots of my upper teeth, and I expefted to lose them all. A little better than a year ago, a poor old man (whom I had long 1 known) begged of me a spot of land to cul tivate : I gave it him within a quarter of a mile of my house. Soon after, I difco£- ered (by the thermpineter) that his spring was cooler than mine, and I determined to . wafli there. He fitted up a rough table at his spring for my use, with a large pewter bason, which he placed on it every mornings i I go early to wa(h, and after wafliing I dip 1 my face under water and open my eyes, keeping them so as long as I can hold my t breath, three or four times fucceflively. , If I recolleft well, it is auout a year . lince I began to do this, and I am relieved, . not only of the pain in the gums as I expeft ed, but I have also recovered my fight, , which I did not expeft. lam not far (hort e of 70 years old, and I have used fpeftacles e about five and twenty years,, but I have late i ly layed'them aside, having now (thank God) nooccafion for them. As this may be ufeful to all pei sons at one time or other, I wish it may be known Fr to them, and deGre that benevolent printers (feeing the utility of it) will be jjieafed to Jo! give it a place airiong their publications.

The facrifice he has made of his private interest for the public good, claims on all occafiofis our warmest gratitude ; as also for the present, when, his private business must receite an injury, though for our advantage.
