SIGHT AND REARING.
THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE
nat.. CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B.
aOLObfoNS,_ Opticians and Aurists to the Royal Fain' il 39, Albe.
morle.street, Piccadilly, by which thousangs of deaf personsy have
been greatly benefited, is the size of a seven.shilling piece, and
fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and ece. and when
not more percep.
tible than having a piece of wool in its place, by which the faintest
whisper at a public assembly is heard with distinctness. And gefee-
tive VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly-invented
SPECTACLE LENSES : immediately they are placed before weak
and imperfect eyesight, either by day or candle light, every object
I"ewraes clear and distinct, and the most minute particle is seen with
great distinctness, by the use of which both the sight and hearing
become much improved.
The Messrs. SJLOMONS DISCLAIM all connection with persons
of the SAME NAME, and the sale of Amber Spectacles: in doing
so they state the liISTORY of AMBER, from the Dictionary of
Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, NI.D., F.R.S., &c. &c.
" Amber is an indurated vegetable ju ce, and not produced by the
laws of crystallization, but by the same causes which influence the
nleobanical condition of gum. Insects are often found embedded in
Amber is most powerfully electrical by friction—very hot, to
such an extent as to explode into fragments • the workmen, too, are
subject to nervous tremours in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they en.
counter great danger by handling such dreadful excited elcctrics ;
Amber grows, with lime, and is apt to take fire, and is of such a
,oft nature when exposed to warmth that it swells, bubbles up, and
will burn away with flame."
The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir 1)
BREWSTER and Pliny, as also by Parks and Heny on Chemistry.
The destruetivc effects of such a material for Spectacles, to imperfect
vision,
are fully and most satisfactorily explained in Messrs.
Curtis and Dollond's Second Edition on the Preservation of Sight,
Sod Tall be ascertained at any respectable Opticians in London.
he Messrs. Solomons' newly-invented Spectacle Lenses are not
!onstrueted of such a material; but which are very superior, and
bring bask at once dimness of sight and imperfect vision to its
original and natural state ; these Spectacles, and very small Voioe
toriductors for Deaf persons, are only to be bad at their Establish-
inents BD, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly' opposite the York Hotel.

PERFUMERY—CAUTION.
MR. PRICE, of the Firm of Price and Co.,
28, Lombard-street (the only surviving partner of the
late Firms of Price and Gosnell, and Patey, Butts, Price, and
Co.), cautions merchants, shippers, &c., against the manoeu-
vres of individuals illegally styling themselves " Price and
Gosnell." These persons never were iu partnership nor in
any way connected with the above firms, otherwise than as ser-
vants in the employ of Mr. Price's late firm of " Price and
Gosnell."

The great superiority of Price and Co.'s Perfumery has
been so incontrovertibly established by the distinguished pa-
tronage of the Nobility and Gentry in every quarter of the
globe, as to render it unnecessary for Prise and Co. to do
more than enumerate their leading articles.
PRICE and CO.'S VICTORIA BOUQUET, the deli-
cious fragrance of which has rendered it an especial favourite
with the Sovereign. 3s. ed.
PRICE'S OLD BROWN WINDSOR SOAP retains its
reputation as superior to all others. It is a perfectly mild
emollient Soap, highly salutary to the Skin, washing with the
greatest facility, possessing an aromatic and lasting perfume.
2s. rid. per packet.
PRICE'S ABERNETHY'S SPECIFIC, for rendering
the Skin soft, smooth, and beautiful ; removing freckles, mor-
phews, &c. Recommended for the hands and arms, bestow-
ing on them a delicacy and whiteness unrivalled. In Bottles,
with testimonials of its surprising effects, by a Clergyman of the
Church of England.
Price and Co.'s Perfumery, celebrated Soaps, Brushes, &e.,
are to be had genuine in London only at their Establishment,
23, Lombard-street, and of their Agents in all the Cities and
Towns of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America.

Price and Co. affix to every article a label with the signature
of " Price and Co." in red ink, and in its centre, "28, Lom-
bard-street," to counterfeit which is felony.
To prevent disappointment, and ensure punctuality, all orders
are requested to be directed to " Price and Co., 28, Lombard-
street."

R. ELIA SOLOIVIONS' VOICE CON-
DUCTORS have in numerous cases of Deafness produced
the most satisfactory results, enabling persons to hear vocal, musical,
and even the slightest sounds with accurate distinctness. Their
minute and convenient form (being only quarter of an inch in diame.
ter) preserves their situation in the ear. They are almost unseen and
unfelt, and are inserted and removed with the greatest facility. The
great benefit derived from his Patent AMBER SPECTACLES in
all cases of defective vision, and which have received the sanction
and unqualified approval of the principal Medical and Scientific au-
thoritios in Europe; among whom may be enumerated

The public are respectfully cautioned that some unprincipled enspi.
ries have assumed Mr. S.'s name, and are advertising with the most
unblushing effrontery as newly.invented Spectacle Lenses," which
are nothing more than the commonest glass pink-shaded, pronassing
to relieve imperfect vision, deafness, and cataract without operation.
These glasses are highly prejudicial to the sight. The names of
come apothecaries and others are set forth to sanction this untruth
and absurd quackery, that the public may be deceived into a belief of
their very extraordinary powers. This fact may be proved by apply..
ing to Mr. Reardon, Spectacle Glass Maker, No. 42, Easton-street,
tlerkenwall, where they are purchased for Is. the dozen pairs, and
for which the most exorbitant charges are exacted by the adver-
tising venders.

•‘ Semper nocuit differre
THERE is perhaps no situation in life so full
of embarrassment as when the over-sensitive feel them-
selves compelled to reveal their moral indiscretions, or their physical
imperfections, to others. Day after day does the horror of exposure
accumulate in the morbid imagmation, while increasing disease aug-
ments the suffbring of the body and the irritability of the mind. Sen-
sible of the anguish thus protracted, we have adopted a system which
long practical experience has proved to be highly successful, and which
precludes the abiolute necessity of personal communication with
those who recoil from such mode of consultation. A full and minute
description of the case, written in plain language, will enable us to
treat the patient with delicate secrecy; and such has been the pecu.
liar nature of our practice, embracing every variety of difficult cir..
cumstances that the most timid may feel encouragement in the oppor.
tunity thus affbrded them.
Twenty_five years of practice, exclusively devoted to diseases
arising from indiscretion, gaiety, or climate, whereby the constitution
may have become enfeebled, enable us to promise a restoration to
