SIGHT AND HEARING.
39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY,
( Opposite the York Hotel), and
76, KING WILLIAM-STREET, BANK OF ENGLAND.
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 hiving 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 impeoved.
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 kwwvn to the public, and tke 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 ass of that mate-
rial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satis-
factorily explained by the undermentioned scientific authority :
From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure,
M.D., F.R S., &c., evc.
" Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not produced
by the laws of cryltallisation, 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, Sze. ; they encounter great danger by handling
such dreadful excited electries ; amber grows with lime, and is
apt to take file, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to
warmth, that it swells, bubbles up, and will barn away with
same."
The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir
D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Hems, 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. Solomoas' 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 p
les- street erons, are zr.ly
osite the to e
had at their establishments, 39, Albemar (opp
York Hotel), and 76, King William-street, Bank.

" I have made trial of Mr. Franks's Solution of Copaiba, at
St. Thomas's Hospital, in a variety of eases of discharges in the
male and female, and the results warrant my stating that it is
an efficacious remedy, and one which does not produce the
usual unpleasant effects of Copaiba.
