The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the cidinary practitioner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT. a PRECEPTOR. or a CLERGYMAN.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their
residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and
Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re-
quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases,
—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge-
neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the
communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta-
tion Fee of 1/.," without which no notice whatever can be
taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable
secrecy may be relied on.

SIGHT AND HEARING.
39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY,
(Opposite the York Hotel), and
76, KING WILLIAM-STREET, BANK OF ENGLAND.
THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE
CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B.
SOLOMONS, OPTICIANS and AURISTSto the ROYAL
F IMILY, 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY,
by which thousands of deaf persons have been greatly bene-
fited, is the size of a seven-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
placed before weak and imperfect eye-sight, either by day or
candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the
most minute particle is seen v%ith great distinctness ; by the use
of which both the sight and hearing become much improved.
The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOAIONS disclaim all con-
nexion with persons of the same name, and the sale of am-
ber spectacles ; the pernicious use of amber spectacles
being now well kn)wn to the public, and the vendor being
avcsre of it, he has therefore altered their name, by leaving out
the word " Amber,' and calling them " Paten' Spectacles."
Those which he terms " Pafent Spectacles" are no other than
those of amber ; the history and destructive use of that mate-
rial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satis-
factorily explained by the undermentioned scientific authority:
From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure,

'roe,
M. D. , F. R . S., &e., &c.
" Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not produced
by the laws of crystallisation, but by the same causes which
Influence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often
found embedded in it. Amber is most powerfully electrical
by friction—very hot, to such an extent as to explode into frag-
ments ; the workmen, too, are subject to nervous tremors in
their wrists, arms, &c. ; they encounter great danger by handling
such dreadful excited electrics ; amber grows with lime, and is
apt to take fire, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to
warmth, that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with
flame."
The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir
D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Hems, on Che-
mistry. The destructive effects of such a material for specta-
cles, to imperfect vibion, may be ascertained at any respectable
Optician's in London.
The Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses are
not constructed of such a material ; but which are very supe-
rior, and bring back at once dimness of sight and imperfect
vision to its original and natural state. These Spectacles, and
very small Voice Conductors for deaf persons, are . r.ly to be
had at their establishments, 39, Albemarle-street (opposite the
York Hotel), and 76, King William-street, Bank.

eminent Oculists, Medical Practitioners—with that gigantic

Ts Mr. Grimstone, Inventor of Eye-Snuff.
Dec. 6, 18-10.
Sir,—l have been a sufferer for seven years, both eves being
so swollen as to cause blindness. Among the many Medical
Gentlemen who attended me was the famous oculist, Dr.
Alexander ; indeed, I de believe my case was beyond all their
skill. " Physic, Bleeding, Blistering, with a seton, of all.
kinds of Lotions, but no relief," till chancing one day, being led
by your house in 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, my guide
inquired if I had tried your Eye-Snuff, on which I purchased
t Is. 3d. Canister, opened it in the shop—took some, and was
greatly relieved before I reached my home. I can with truth
assert, and make oath if required to do so, that it was your Eye-
Snuff cured me. Shal he happy to answer any inquiry.
I am, Sir, yours gratefully,
L. S. BREWER.
