covery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinarily power-
ful small newly-invented instrument for Deafness,
entirely, different from all others, surpasses anything of the
kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced. Being
of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible. It enables
deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public assem-
blies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing* noises in the ears
is entirely removed, and it affords all the assistance that
Possibly could be desired. Also, every kind of hearing in-
struments.—Spectacle Lenses of the greatest transparent
Power. The great advantage derived from this inven-
tion Is, that vision becoming impaired is preserved and
'rengthened, and very aged persons arc enabled to em-
Ploy their sight at the most minute occupation—can see
with those lenses of a much less magnifying power, and they
do not require the frequent changes to the dangerous effects
of further powerful assistance. Opera, Race-course, Field,
