Messrs. S and B. SOLOMONS, Opticians and Aurists, during a
professional experience of thirty years, have had ample opportu-
nities of verifying that the Organs of Sight and Hearing are sym-
pathetically related to each other in such a peculiar manner, that
when the former becomes imperfect, the sense of hearing becomes
rapidly dull—this fact is admitted. by Scientific Authorities, and
must be observable by many thousands of individuals thus circum-
stanced—which is deserving the Public's most' serious attention.
The Messrs. Solomons, with a view to remedy such an affection, and
after they have devoted their whole lives to this interesting branch
of science, have succeeded in effecting; for Imperfect Vision, a most
scientific improvement in a Transparency for Spectacle 3, and a Pre-
ventive and Cure for Deafness ; they have invented an Operative
Voice Conductor, upon a very small construction, not perceptible; it
requires no holding, and the individual immediately becomes one of
the party in the general cnnversation. By these important disco-
veries not only is defective Vision brought to nature, but the sense
of Hearing restored to its original acuteness ; those lenses are so
constructed and adapted to weak and imperfect eyesight, upon such
scientific principles, combined with the long extensive experience of
the Messrs. Sohnnons, that they will he found to effect an
extent of relief which will far exceed their utmost and most san-
guine expectations. On placing those lenses before imperfect Vision,
either by day or candle light, every object becomes clear and dis-
tinct, and the most minute. particle seen with exact distinctness.
The Messrs. Solomons have in their possession, WITHOUT ONE
EXCEPTION, Spectacles and Ear Instruments of every kind, which
are oared t,) the Public by other individuals, to point out the su-
periority of their improvements over all others. 'The patronage of
Nobility and Gentry, and recommendationsof the principal Oculists,
Physicians, and Surgeons in London, and through Great Britain, as
well as on the Continent, would be too numerous for insertion.
'the Messrs. Solomons are anxious that the public should not con.
found them with persons of the same name, it being admitted by
professional gentlemen of the highest character, and may be ob.
served by any individual, that their newly-invented Spectacles and
operative Voice Conductors for deafness, surpass anything of the
kindyet put beforrthe public, they request attention len to the first part of
their names and address, 39, Alhamarle-street,P:ccadilly, and 9G,

persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wealthy, viz.:-
Ist. Insuring their lives in sums from 5/. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age ; Weekly
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
th• Premiums beinq, divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effect, d
against loss by Fire, in sums from 101. to 1001., by Quarterly
Payments; thus Household Goods, Wearing

Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty

The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
henceforth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could se readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351,
