CAUTION.-SIR.. E. SOLOMONS, Opti-
c cian, and Patentee, No. 36, Old Bond-street, Picca-
dilly, and 1, Old Jewry, City, in reiterating his Caution against the
deception that is daily practised by parties who, from a similarity of
Barnes, and induced by the pre-eminent success of his Improved
VOICE CONDUCTORS, (Invisible Hearing instruments for the
Relief of Deafness), and PRESERVATIVE SPECTACLES, the
exclusive disposal of which is secured to his House by "Royal Let-
ters Patent" since the year 1832, he would beg the Public to note
particularly HIS ADDRESS, as a protection against the various
schemes that are ingeniously practised in order to foist on the un-
wary spurious and destructive apparatus, alike prejudicial to the most
delicate and valuable organs of the human senses, Sight and Hearing.
As every means that trickery and impudence could suggest are re-
sorted to by ignorant ompirics in various parts of the neighbourhood,
in order to mislead and confound the public, Mr. E. S. would re-
spectfully direct attention to an Advertisement oppearing in the
" Morning Post," November 9, 1839, and also in the " Evening Cou-
rier," 01 the,same date from the Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, Albemarle-
street, Piccadilly, of which the following is a copy The Messrs.
Solomons take the earliest opportunity to state that the name of
Dr. F. 11. Ramslsotham has been used in an Advertisement by mis-
take and without authority." As from the scrupulous omission of
any address in this reluctant advertisement, it would naturally be at-
tributed to the above Established House, bearing the name, Mr. E.
3., in disclaiming any knowledge of it, hereby exposes the
Pitiful ruse, by directing public conjecture to the proper quarter,
whence tie " Mistake" has arisen, not in " an Advertisement," but
in several, has that eminent proctitioner's name headed a list of ob-
scure and unknown ones, as sanctioning empirical untruths, pro.
claiming as newly invented " Spectacle Lenses" the commonest de-
scription of Spectacle Glasses, which are purchased of Mr. Reardon,
No. 42, Easton-street, Exmouth-street, Clerkenwell, who sells the
newly invented Spectacle Lenses for Eightpence per pair. Mr. E. S.'s
Voice Conductors are only a quarter of an inch in diameter. By
theiruse the lowest whisper breathed at a public assembly vibrates
on the organs of hearing in such a pleasant manner as to afford imme-
diate relief to those labouring under the distressing ailment of deaf_
ness. The distinguished advantages of his Patent Spectacles for the
assistance and improvement of sight, arc, that they convey coolness
and pleasure to the eyesluring their continued use, and are tree nom
she pernicious attributes of ordinary glasses ; they preserve vision to
eztreme old age. Their superlative excellence has secured for them
the high approbation and sanction of
