SIGHT AND HEARING. - TESTI-
MONIALS on the Messrs. S. and B. SOLONIONS'
newly-invented SPECTACLE LENSES and INVISIBLE
OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR for Deaf Persons.

" We, the undersigned, have been far some time slaking
use of Messrs. Solomons' newly•invented Spectacle Lenses;
the astonishing relief they sifted to imperfect vision gives
them the decided preferenee to every other kind of Lens
—the elearness of the transparency brings every object very
distinct, and enables individuals to view the most minute par.
tittle with perfect accuracy. They are particularly pleasant
by candle light, as they appear cooling to the sight, and soften
bright and brilliant lights t--- .
