DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.

By the plan exclusively developed by the Society, a single
deferred annuity is made, nGt only to answer the same object,
but to equal in amount the entire sum of all the advantages
heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious classes
by separate investments in Savings' Banks, Benefit Societies,
and Loan Banks.

1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the
most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) at 20 will at 65 give the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 471. 16s. 6d. : 3941. I Is. in cash; or policy
withotit further contributions 0466/. at deaths
2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a
fund always available during sickness or want of employment.
3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
case of premature death.
The report to the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors,

SIGHT AND HEARING.
39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, AND

THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE
CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B.
SOLOMONS, OPTICIANS and AURISTSto the ROYAL
FAMILY, 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 with great distinctness; by the use
of which both the sight and hearing become much improved.
The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS 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 rwn 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 " Patent. Spectacles."
Those which he terms " Patent 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 scientihc authority :
From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure,
F. R S. &c. , &c.
" Amber is an indurated vegetahie 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 dangerby 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 arc further confirmed by Sir
D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Heins, on Che-
mistry. The destructive effects of such a material for specta-
cles, to imperfect vision, 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 only to be
had at their establishments, 39, Albemarle-street, and 76, King
William-street, Bank.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tams, which for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the of dinary 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 oo 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.
The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away,
and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of
some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its
real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption,
will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine-
tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish
of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes,
&c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in
certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre-
quently than is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least
the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this
work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and
detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced
into schools, whereby the health and ultin:Ltely the lives of his
pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked
in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through
the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth: and a standard
whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to
attack any of his young charges, what the rea:. cause of such
attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in
its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once
concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which
youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the
disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if
not relinquished.
