THE. INVISIBLE OPERA EVE VOICE
CONDUCTOR, effected by the ll"hrs. S. and B.
SOLOMONS, Opticians and Aurists to 1:14' Royal Family,
39' l tlin
bemarle-street, Piccadilly, by which thousands of deaf
1 . s have been greatly benefited, is the size of a severf-shil-
li eee,:and when fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft and
e , it triit more perceptible than having a.piece of wool in
its . le' bf‘which the faintest whisper at a public assembly is
heard With dlitinctness: And defective VISION is brought to
nature by theifse of newly-invented SPECTACLE LENSES :
immediately that' are placed before weak and imperfect eye-
sight, either,,lry day or candle light, every object becomes
clear and'aijitliiet; and the most minute particle is seen with
exact dreftuffeear, by the use of which both the sight and
hearing.lii&e much improved.
Thilleiffs.' SOLOMONS disclaim all connection with the
sale of Arither Spectacles—and in doing so they state the his-
,t,...
tory' of Apelbser=—
, " It gite.4.teut electricity by friction; it is an indurated ve-
getable juice, and not produced by the laws of crystalization,
but by the 'Same causes which now influence the mechanical
condition of gum, insects are often found embedded in it."--
Perke's Chemistry.
" When amber is exposed to heat it becomes soft, swells, bub-
bles up, is apt to take fire, it burns with a yellowish flame, and
turni a red colour."—Hern's Chemistry.
They also refer to Messrs. Curtis and Dolland's Second Edi-
tion " On the Preservation of Sight," pages 55 and 56, as to
the injurious effects of Amber Spectacles to impeded vision,
in emesequence of the colour and soft sticky state of the ma-
terial, it being impossible to form it into a perfect lens, and
an imperfect lens is certain to prove a most serious destruction
to risen.

Those statements of facts may be ascertained at any respect-
able Optician's in London.
The Messrs. Solomons' newly-invented " Spectacle Lenses,"
and very small 46 Voice Conductor," for deaf persons, are only
to be had at their Establishment, 39, Albemarle-street.

In consequence of the gross imposition in the country,.it is
