SIGHT AND HEARING.-TESTIMO-
NIALS on the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS newly
invented SPECTACLE LENSES and INVISIBLE OPERATIVE
VOICE CONDUCTOR for Deaf Persons.

From James Blundell, Esc( , :
" I have now tried for some time the Messrs. ,i:ilomons-
invented Spectacle Lenses, and have experienced much benefit ; they
are far preferable to my vision than any other Lens ; the relief is
very great, in particular by candlelight, and in course of use for a
length of time the clearness of the transparency brings every object
very distinct; they can be fully appreciated only by those who, like
myself; may stand in need of them.
" JAMES BLUNDELL, M.D.
" No I, Great George-street, Westminster."
" We, he undersigned, have been for some time making use of
Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses ; the astonishing
relief they afford to imperfect vision gives them the decided prefer-
ence to every other kind of Lens—the clearnesi of the transparency
brings every object very distinct, and enables individuals to view the
most minute particle with perfect accuracy. They are particularly
pleasant by candle light, as they appear cooling to the sight, and
soften bright and brilliant lights :

DIETETICS IN INDIA.—The subject of is
one in which persons going out to India rather late in
usually feel great anxiety and alarm, and in their deter-
mination to avoid anything like excess, they frequently fall
into the opposite extreme. Two of the Bish Ts who died
in Calcutta were said to have sacrificed themselves to ab-
stinence, carried to too great an extent. It is, of course.-
impossible to prescribe a regimen which will suit every
constitution, and each individual must he guided by expe-
rience, and the knowledge he has attained of what is hurt-
ful, or the reverse. Many persons are afraid to touch fruit,
which nevertheless may be eaten in moderation with advan-
tage. A certain quantity of stimulant seems absolutely
necessary, taken in the shalie of wine, beer, or weak brandy
and water, but every body should discourage as much as
possible the habit of drinking between meals ; iced water is
to many persons a pleasant and a wholesome stimulant ;
soda-water, taken in moderation, is also very agreeable and
salutary; and occasionally a tea-spoonful of sal-volatile in a
tumbler of cold water will be found beneficial. The native
servants prepare many kinds of sherbets of the most palat-
able description, but it is advisable to partake very spar-
ingly of them ; a wine-glassful of milk punch in a tumbler
of cold water forms a refreshing drink, the small quantity
of spirit contained preventing the acid from disagreeing.
Beer is a good thing in moderation, but should not be drunk
between meal`; it is difficult when thirst is excessive to
refrain, but it should be borne in mind that the means em-
ployed are never adequate to the end, encouraging rather
thawpreventing the evil : those who drink frtquently soon.
