METROPOLITAN INFIRMARY for the

CONORRHCEA,.GLEETS, SYPHILIS, &c. This Insti=
tatien is elosed, but as the Surgeon of it feels assured that
there are hundreds suffering under the diseases, to the eure of
%hieh it was especially devoted, who would gladly avail them-
Selves of his professional assistance, rather than place them-
'elves unsler the charge of chemists, or, worse still, have re-
"nrse to any ef the dangerous and inefficient nostrums daily
akteitised, he has made arrangements to see patients at his
sY?is residence, at the mere expense to the patient of the neces-
sliry meslieine. Thus persons of limited means have now an
'ollpertusity ef securing for themselves a mode of treatment
ilsat, whilst it is based On experience, is regulated by the pecu-
liarities which their awn cases and constitutions may require;
thereby freeing themselves from the absurdities and dangers
that Wait upon the employment of one kind of medicine for all
forms ef these diseases, without regard to these essential
iiart icalars.

SIGHT AND HEARING.

THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE
CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. .S. and B.
60LOMONS, OPTICIANS and AUIIISTS to the ROYAL FA-
AMY 39, A LBEMARLE.S MEET, PICCADILLY, by which
"ousauds or deaf persons have been greatly benefited, is the size of a
seren-shilling piece, and when fixed into the cavity of the car is soft
4,„pci 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
.I}hie use of newly-invented SPECTACLE LENSES: immediately
eY are placedbefore weak and imperfect eyesight, either by day
,candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most
itnutearticle is seen with great distinctness, by the use of which
o,th the sight and hearing become much improved.
T h Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMON S elitclaim all connection with per.
sens 01 the same name, and the Sale of Amber Spectacles : the per-
nicious use of Amber Spectacles bein a now well knowa to the public,
and the Vendor being aware of it, he has thereiore altered their
-11!n2e, b leaving out the word " Amber " and caliing them " Pa-
.,,pecy tacles '' those which he.terms "'Patent S;) ctacle." are no
ethexnat:rithan those of Amber, the history ard destructive use of that
al for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satisfac-
itnrilY explained by the undermentioned scientific authori. s :
trete the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, M.D.

&c. &c.
" Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not produced by the
laws of crystallization, but by the same causos which influence the
mechanical condition of gum. Insects arc often found embedded in
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 trcmours in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they en-
•csunter great danger by handling such dreadful excited electrics ;
-Aniber grows with Hine, and is apt to take fire, and is of such a
®oft nature when exposed to warmth that it swells, bubbles up, and
gill burn away with flame."

The above Dr. I:re's statements are further confirmed by Sir 1).
JIREWSTER and Pliny, as also by Parks and Hem on Chemistry.
l'he destructive effects of such a material for Spectacles, to imperfect
vision, may be ascertained at any respectable Optician's in London.
The Messrs. Selomons' newly-invented Spectacle Lenses are not
Onstructed of such a material; but which are very superior, and
bring back at once dimness of sight and imperfect vision to its
Ot, vinal and natural state ; these Spectacles, and very small Voice
CoLiductors for Deaf persons, are only to be had at their Establish-
teen t, 39, Albemarle-street.
Not to be had at any other house.
