SIIGHT AND HEARING.—SPECTACLES.—
POWERFUL TELESCOPES.—OPERA, RACE, and
PERSPECTIVE GLASSES. Messrs. S. and B. Solo-
mons, Opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe
—opposite the York Hotel, W.—Opera, Race-course, Field,
and general Out-door Day and Night Perspective Glasses,
very small, for the waistcoat pocket, each containing 12 and
18 lenses, constructed of German glass. W1:1 show distinctly
persons to know them at two-and-a-half and three miles,
and an object from eight to ten miles distant: Her Majesty's
Coast Guards are making use of them as day and night glasses
in preference to all others ; they are also preferred for deer-
stalking by sportsmen, gentlemen, and gamekeepers. Tele-
scopes 31 inches long, by which a person may be clearly seen
and known at 31 miles, and an object at 12 to 14 miles dis-
tance ; and with an extra astronomical eye-piece, Jupiter's
moon's, Saturn's rings, and the double stars are distinctly
seen. All the above can be had of larger and all sizes, with
increasing powers, and are secured by her Majesty's Royal
Letters Patent. The Royal Exhibition, 1851. A valuable,
newly-invented, very small, powerful Waistcoat-pocket
Glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be
seen and known one and a half mile distant. They an-
swer every purpose on the Race-course and at the Opera-
houses. Country scenery and ships are clearly seen at four
to six miles. They are in.,aluable for shooting, deer-
stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers,
and tourists. Price 30s.—Spectacle Lenses of the greatest
transparent power. The great advantage derived from this,
invention is, that ,vision becoming impaired is preserved and
strengthened, and very aged persons are enabled to employ
their sight at the most minute occupation—can see with those
lenses of a much less magnifying power, and they do not re-
quire the frequent changes to the dangerous effects of further
powerful assistance. Persons can be suited at the most
remote part of the world by sending one of the glasses out of
their spectacles in a letter, and stating the distance from the
eyes they can read small print with it, and those who have
not made use of spectacles by stating their age. Deafness.—
New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinarily
powerfully 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.-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.
