THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE
CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B.
80LONIONS, Opticians and Aurists to the Royal Family, 39, Albe
zaarle-street, Piccadilly. and 96, Cheapside, by which thousands of
deaf persons have been greatly benefited, is the size of a seven.
shilling piece, and when fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft and
9asY, and not more perceptible than having a piece of wool in its
place by which the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard
With 'distinctness. And defective VISION is brought to nature by
the use of newly.invented SPECTACLE LENSES: immediately
they are placedb efore weak and imperfect eyesight, either by day
!r candleli .0: every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most
;flinute particle is seen with great distinctness, by the use of which
oath the sight and hearing becoesemuch improved.
The Messrs. S, iLOMONS DISCLAIM all connection with persons
of the SAME NAME and the sale of Amber Spectacles: in doing
they state the HISTORY of AMBER, from the Dictionary of
Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, M.D., P.R.S., &c. &c.
" Amber is an induratee vegetable juice, and not produced by the
laws of crystallization, hut by the same causos which influence the
mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often found embedded in
it. 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 electrics;
Amber grows with lime, and is apt to take fire, and is of such a
soft 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 D.
BREWSTER and Pliny, as also by Parks and Heny on Chemistry.
Thedestructive effects of such a material for Spectacles, to imperfect
vision, are fully and most satisfactorily explained in Messrs.
Curtis and Dollond's Second Edition en the Preservation of Sight ,
and may be ascertained at any respectable Optician's in London. -
The Messrs Solomons' newly-invented Spectacle Lenses are not
copstructed of such a material; but which are very superior, and
bring back at once dimness of sight and imperfect vision to its
"uirinal and natural state ; these Spectacles, and very small Voice
Conductors for Deaf persons, are only to be had at their Establish.
ta,ents, 39, Albemarle.street, and 96, Cheapside.
No Travellers are employed.

(To Mr. ?rout, 229, Strand, London.)
, No. 20, Vere.street, Dec. 11, PM.
to feel myself bound by the duty I owe to my fellow-creatures
diva -muest that you will publish the following most extraor-
Of Q effects of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. For a period
st all jeers I have suffered more than I can well express, but
antipathylai avoided talting advertised remedies having.a power-
.. to them, until a few months since, after having been
~,uP for 22 weeks of an attack of Rheumatic Geut, principally
"led to the feet, but at times it travelled to various parts of the
Tr, and then returning again with accumulated force to the extre-
-48, And to such a degree that I was delirious for five days and
nd ,„'; I now say that, frit ttmately I was induced to try Blair's Gout
16 ,"neumatic Pills ; and, with truth, I assure yourself and the pub-
/ h.""ats in less than 24 liours, I was free from pain ; and by the time
5!I taken half a box, the inflamation and swelling had disappeared.
.oltenave the pleasure of adding that Pillsa health has in no way
ed, and that the effects of Blair's were imperceptible.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
'mg CHEVALIER DE LA GARDE.
„The testimonials of the
beatonishing effects Ftf this Medicine are
that no. inconvenience of any

It attends its adinistration but that the patient, winthout feeling the
