PECTACLES.-SIGHT AND HEARING.-
Li DEAFNESS. —A newly-invented instrument for ex-
treme cases of deafness, called the SOUND MAGNIFIER,
Organic Vibrator, and Invisible Voice. Conductor. It fits so
into the ear as not to be in the lent perceptible ; the unplea-
sant sensation of singing noises in the head is entirely re-
moved. It affords instant relief to deaf persons, and enables
them to hear distinctly at Church and at public Assemblies.
Every other kind of hearing, instruments. Messrs. SOLO-
MONS have invented spectacle lenses of the greatest trans-
parent poiver. The valuable advantage derived from their
invention is, that vision becomes preserved and strengthened ;
very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the
most minute occupation, can see with these lenses of a much
less magnifying power, and they do not require the frequent
changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assist-
ance.-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the Tort
