METROPOLITAN INFIRMARY for the
CURE of STRICTURES of the URETHRA,
GONORRHcEA, GLEETS, SYPHILIS, &e. This Insti-
tution is closed, but as the Surgeon of it feels assured that
there are hundreds suffering under the diseases, to the cure of
which it was especially @leveed, who would gladly avail them-
selves of his professional assistance, rather than place them-
selves under the charge of chemists, •r, worse still, have re-
course to any of the dangerous and inefficient nostrums daily
advertised, he has made arrangements to see patients at his
own residence, at the mere expense to the patient of the neces-
sary medicine. Thus persons of limited means have now an
opportunity of securing for themselves a mode of treatment
that, whilst it is based on experience, is regulated by the pecu-
liarities which their own cases and constitutions may require;
thereby freeing themselves from the absurdities and dangers
that wait upon the employment of ens kind of medicine for all
forms of these diseases, without regard to these essential
particulars.
Apply at 42, Great Marlborough-street, Regent street,
from Eight to Ten in the morning, and from Seven to Nine
in the Evening. On Sundays in the 111 E-fling, but not in tho
Evening

SIGHT AND HEARING.
39. ALBEMARLE-STREET.

VIE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE
CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B.
SOLO:MONS, OPTICIANS and ADJUSTS to the ROYAL FA-
MILY, 3t, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, by which
thousands of deaf persons have been greatly benefited, 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 placedb efore weak and imperfect eyesight, either by day
or candle light, every abject becomes clear and distinct, and the most
minute particle is seen with great distinctness, by the use of which
both the sight and hearing become much improved.
The Messrs. S. and B. SOLO AIONS disclaim all connection with per.
sons of the same name, and the Sale •f Amber Spectacles: the per-
nicious use of Amber Spectacles bein a now well known to the public,
and the Vendor being aware of it, he has therefore altered their
name, by leaving out the word .' Amber," and calling them " Pa-
tent Spectacles " those which he terms " Patent Spectacles " are no
other than these 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 authorics

From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, M.D.

F. R. S. , &c.
" Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not produced by the
laws of crystallization, but by the same causes whicn 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 fragments ' • the workmen, too, are
subject to nervous tremours in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they en-
counter 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 Hero on Chemistry,
The destructive effects of such a material for Spectacles, to imperfect
vision, snay 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 superior, 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 only to be had at their Establish-
ment, 39, Albemarle-street.
Not to be had at any other house.

ON STITUTIONAL DEBILITY-
"MANHOOD"-CERTAIN RELIEF.

O. all the various disorders which afflict mankind, there are none
In which the skill of themedical man is more strictly tested than in
the complete eradication of those deplorable disorders arising from
unrestricted and indiscriminate indulgences, as well as in those
dreadful cases of sexual debility, brought on by an early, solitary,
and baneful indulgence of the passions frequently acquired without
Mr knowledge of the awful consequences resulting therefrom, and
which not only entail on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities
of old age, but occasion the necessity of renouncing the felicities of
marriage. Convinced of these fac s, and to rescue the unwary suf-
ferer from the fangs of the numerous empirics with which the metro-
polis abounds, Messrs. CURTIS and CO., as regularly educated
Members of the Profession, deviate from general princi;.les with less
hesitation, and thus publicly tender their services, which
hitherto have been crowned with undeviating success Their plan is
simple, without restraint in diet or business, and, above all, a com-
plete eradication of these maladies, as well as Syphilis, Gonorrhoea,
Stricture, &c., are effected without the use of that dangerous mineral
—mercury, which forms the principal ingredient of the nostrums
daily offered to the public by a host of unqualified and illiterate
men, who are the means of hurrying hundreds, in the flower of their
youth, to an untimely grave.
Messrs Curtis are to be consulted daily, at their residence. till 9 at
night, and on Sundays from 9 till 2.—Observe, 7, Frith-street, Soho,
seven doors from Soho-square.
