SIGHT AND HEARING.
_DEAFNESS obviated by the invention of an ope-
rative VOICE CONDUCTOR, the size of a Seven-shil-
ling-piece ; it fits into the Cavity of the Ear, and the faintest Whis-
per breathed at a public assembly may be 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 EYE-SIGHT, either by Day or
Candle-light, every object be?omes clear and distinct, and the most
minute particle is seen with exact distinctness, by the use of which
both the Sight and Hearing becomes much improved.
The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS have also made, after
thirty years' practice and experience, a most important discovery,
by a simple method, to remove Dimness of Sight, and certain cases
of Cataracts, without operation, pain, or inconvenience.
