PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.
iIIIkIESSRS. SLOAN and CO., Members of
the Royal College of Surgeons, No. 4, Argyll-place,
R.regent-street, and No. 28, Ironmonger-lane, Cheapside, may
be consulted from Eight o'Clock in the Morning until Ten at
Night, on every variety and stage of Syphilis with that deli-
cacy and secrecy they have hitherto observed. The treatment
they pursue is the result of twenty-two years' extensive and
successful practice in London, and will not subject any patient
to confinement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex-
treme nature they eradicate in eight or ten days, or if slight or
recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer-
°4l7, and at a moderate expense. Seminal weakness, Gonor-
:those, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so prevalent,
are treated upon those unerring principles which have insured
to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of public patronage,
and which it will be their future exertion to maintain.
N.B.—Letters, post paid, enclosing a fee, will be answered
by return, and country patients corresponded with until re-
covery.

side, and 39 Albemarle—street, Piccadilly, by which thousaneis 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
eissy, 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 placed before weak and imperfect eyesight, either by day
or candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most
nainute particle is seen with great distinctness, by the use of which
both the sight and hearing become much improved.
The Messrs. SOLOMONS DISCLAIM all connection with persons
of the SAME NAME, and the sale of Amber Spectacles: in doing
so they state the HISTORY of AMBER, from the Dictionary of
Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ore, M.D., F.R.S., &c. &C.
" Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not produced by the
laws of crystallization, but by the same causes 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. lire's statements are further confirmed by Sir D.
BREWSTER and Pliny, as also by Parks and Heny on Chemistry.
Thedestruetive 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,
Optician's and may be ascertained at any respectable r
in London.
The Moasca. Solomons' newly-invented Spectaclev Lenses arc not
eoiistructed of such a material; but which are superior,an, its
bring back at once dimness of sight and imperfect visionto t
original and natural state ; these Spectacles, and very small Voice
Conductors for Deaf persons, are only to be had at their Establish.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC
PILLS.
Copy of a Letter from the Chevalier De la Garde, Chamberlain to
Stanislaus, late King Poland,
229, Strand, London.
(To Mr. Prout, )
No. '2O, Vere-street, Dec. 11, 1838.
Sre,..._l feel myself bound by the duty I owe to my fellow—creatures
to request that you will publish the following ,nosst extraor_
dinary effects of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. For a period
of 30 years I have suffbred more than I can well expiass, but
at all times have avoided taking advertised remedies, having a Power_
ful antipathy to them, until a few months since, after having been
laid up for 22 weeks of an attack of Rheumatic Gout, principally
confined to the feet, but at times it travelled to various parts of the
frame, and then returning again with accumulated force to the extre-
mities, and to such a degree that I was delirious for five d aye and
nights. I now say that, fortunately I was induced to try Bl ir's Gout
and Rheumatic Pills; and, with truth, I assure yourself and the pub-
lic that in less than 24 hours,l was free from pain; and
by the time
I had taken half a box, in the inflamation and swelling had disappeared.
I have the pleasure of adding that my general health has no way
suffered, and that the effects of Blair's Pills were imperceptible.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
THE CIIEV ALIER DE LA GARDE.
The testimonials of the astonishing effects of this Medicine are
universally accompanied by the fact, that no inconvenience of any
sort attends its administration but that the patient, viithout feeling the
operation of the medicine, is universally left in a stronger and better
state of health than experienced previous to being afflicted with this
disease; and in all cases of acute cuffs' Mg, great relief •is obtained in
afew hours, and a cure is generally effected in two or three days.
This valuable discovery
