[ADVERTISEMENT.]—EPSOM AND ASCOT RACES.
9, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly observe, opposite the
York Hotel. The Royal Exhibition. A valu-
able, newly-invented, very small powerful waistcoat-
pocket glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person
can be seen and known one mile and a 'half distant ;
they answer every purpose on the race-course, at the
opera-houses, country scenery, and ships are cclearly seen
at 12 to 14 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-
stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers,
and tourists. Telescopes—A new and most important
invention in telescopes, possessing such extraordinary
powers that some, 3i inches, with an extra eye-piece, will
show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the
double stars ; with the same telescope, weighing only 3
ounces, can be seen a person's countenance three miles
and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles.
They supersede every other kind for the waistcoat-pocket,
and are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers
accordingly. Opera and race-course glasses, with wonderful
power an object can be clearly seen, from 14 16 to miles
distant. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians, have in-
vented invaluable preserving spectacle lenses, immediately
they are placnd before imperfect vision, every object
appears clear and distinct, the most aged, defective sight
becomes bright and brilliant, is brought to its youthful,
natural, and original state. Deafness—New Discovery—
The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinary powerful, and
newly-invented instrument, for Deafness, entirely different
from all others, to surpass anything of the kind that has
been, or probably ever can be produced. Being of the
same colour as the skin, it is not perceptible ; it enables
deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public as-
semblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in
the ears are entirely removed ; and it affords 411 the assist-
ance that possibly could be desired.—S. and B. Solomons,
Aurists and Opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.
Observe, opposite the York Hotel.
