the Messrs. Solemons, Opticians and Aurists, state that their
INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, by
which thousands of Deaf Persons have been greatly benefited,
is not larger than a seven-shilling. piece, and when fixed into
the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more uncomfort-
able nor perceptible than having a piece of wool in its place.
By its use the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard
wit's distinctness.
fhese important new inventions are patronized by their Ma-
jesties the King and Queen of Hanover and their Royal High-
nesses the Princesses Augusta and Sophia, her Serene High-
ness the Princess Esterhazy, the Princesses Mary and Rosa,
her Grace the Duchess Dowager, of Bedford, and their Graces
