YESIG H T and DEFECTIVE, HEARING.
)p., The success of Mr. ELIA SOLOMONS' PATENT
.r-CTACLES, and a similarity of names favouring the tion, has induced parties to offer publicly as a new invention) profess-
il'fg to relieve simultaneously vision and deafness, common glasses
LlnanY years' standing, ground on the principle of the periscopic
(the meniscus employed for Spectacles 40 years ago), and which
preenalthough attainable at most respectable opticians, are set aside by
as decidedly objectionable. These quack and absurd misre-
,ts entations, unsupported by weight (0. authority, might have
een safely allowed to pass unnoticed before th eyes of a discern-
public; but as the names of some medical gentlemen are used,
behoves one to inqure by what means, or on what grounds, their
Lsignatures have been obtained if obtained at all) as sanctioning a
rect untruth by proclaiming such as " Newly-invented Spectacle
Mjuses, ” which are unanswerably nothing more than common
asses, of a pink or purple tint, to be purchased at the above esta-
ishment, at ls. 6d. per pair.

adMr. Elia Solomons' Spectacle Lenses seem to me likely to afford
ditional aids to imperfect vision, and because of their superior
;racting powers to glass or other dense materials, they promise to
att. rd new resources for the construction of Spectacles.

it
the use I have made of an Amber Lens, and comparing
ttwith those in ordinary glasses, I have no hesitation in saying
it, to my sight, the former is infinitely preferable, in being less
trying to the Eye.
BRANSBY B. COOPER, 2, New-street, Spring-gardens.
I mu much pleased with Mr. Elia Solomons' Amber Lenses, and
v_kxentleman who made trial of them for several days, says that
"eY relieve the Eye much more than any Glasses he has before
Used.

MARTIN WARE, New Bridge-street.
I have examined the Amber Spectacles made by Air. Elia Solo-
naons, and I am of opinion that they are calculated to answer every
Purpose for which they are intended—that they soften the light to
/Qak
and irritable Eyes, and are likely to be useful to persons
Rhone sight is thus affected—being preferable to Glass or Pebbles.
J. COPLAND, 111. D F.R. S Bulstrode-st., Manchester-sq.
to From an examination of the Amber Lenses, I have every reason
_ !ix-wind° that they possess many and decided advantages over the
ordinary Glass Spectacles.
