MILY 34, A LBEISIARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, by which
thousands of deaf persons have been greatly benefited, is the size of a
,even.shilling piece, and when fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft
and easy, 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 placedh efore weak and imperfect eyesight, either by day
• or candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most
Minute particle is seen with great distinctness, by the use of which
bttlt the sight and hearing become much improved.
The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS disclaim all connection with per.
L9:11 of the same name, and the Sale of Amber Spectacles: the per-
m ious use of Amber :Spectacles bein .z now well known to the public,
and the Vendor being aware of it, he has therefore altered their
't'eatne, by leaving nut the word .. Amber' " and calling them Pa-
ht. spectaeles those which he terms "Patent Spectacles" are no
ether than those of Amber. the history and destructive use of that
Material for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satisfac-
torily explained by the undermentioned scientific authori. s
From the Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew lire, M.D.

F.R.S., &c. &c.
, " Amber is an induratea vegetable juice, and. not produced by the
of crystallization, hut by the same causes which influence the
echanical condition of gum. Insects are often found embedded in
it. Amber is most powerfully electrical by friction—very hot, to
'Nth an extent as to explode into fragments ; the workmen, too, are
subject to nervous tremours in their wrists, arms, &o. ; they en-
counter great danger by handling such dreadful excited electrics;
Anther grows with lime, and is apt to take fire, and is of such a
left nature when exposed to warmth that it swells, bubbles up, and
will burn away with flame."
The above Dr. Urea statements are further confirmed by Sir 1).
tut EwsrErt and Pliny, as also by Parka and Hern en Chemistry.
The destructive effects or such a material for Spectacles, to imperfect
vision, may be ascertained at. any respectable Optician's in London.
The Messrs Solornons• newly-invented Spectacle Lenses are not
constructed of such a mnterial ; but which are very superior, and
bring back at once dimness of sight and Imperfect vision to its
original and natural state ; these Spectacles, and very small Voice

The Directors beg to remind their friends whose premiums
become due at Lady Day, that no extra charge is made at this
office for the transfer of policies, avid that they will be rated

LIFE DEPARTMENT.
While this Society enables a person to provide for his family
after his death, it also affords the power of making provision far
himself during life, by granting annuities, either immediate,
deferred, or survivorship.
Every member assured for the whole term of life, whose
policy shall have existed three years, will be entitled to a pro.
portional share of the quinquennial profits, which may be ap-
plied either by additions to their respective policies, or in re-
duction of the premiums thereafter to become payable.
Assurers may pay their premiums in any way most suitable
to their circumstances, either quarterly, half-yearly, or an-
nually, and one-half the premium may, if required, remain on in-
terest at 5 per cent. for five years,
N.B.—A Committee of Directors, attended by a meilieal
officer, sit at the Company's house every Tuesday, from
Twelve to Two o'clock, to grant Assurances, but one Director
is daily in attendance to render every facility to those to whom
despatch may be an object.
For the convenience of those residing in the western diltrict
of London and its vicinity, assurances may be either effected
or renewed with Mr. Joseph Strother, Agent. 3. Hortiton-
street, Kensington. J. T. CLEMENT, Actuary.
