DEAFNESS, CHRONIC OR ACUTE NERVOUS DEAFNESS, SINGING NOISES AND PAINS IN
THE EARS.
A NEW DISCOVERY FOR RESTORING HEARING, proved to be perfectly infallible,
by which many thousands of sufferers have been instantly enabled to hear
the human voice in a low tone without causing one instant's pain,
inconvenience, or trouble to a child, or aged nervous sufferer of either
sex. This truly important discovery for the cure of deafness, obviating as
it does all the former dangerous and fatal operations, has been made by the
eminent aurist, DR. DAVID THOMAS, ten years Consulting Surgeon, at 14.
Stroud Street, Dover, the first application of which gives immediate
relief, restoring the hearing in the most confirmed stages of deafness,
whether from old age, nervousness, or any predisposing cause, to which
children and adults are subject, and from which deafness follows the heavy
affliction of noises in the head and ears, immediately removed by its use.
Each sufferer can apply it himself: the proof and result being instantly
convincing, as it enables the previously deaf person to hear common tone
conversation, who before could only be made to hear by loud shouting in the
ear, or by means of a powerful ear-trumpet. It has been applied by the
Doctor on hundreds of suffering applicants at most of the ear infirmaries
and hospitals, with perfect success, and in many thousands of cases to whom
he has sent it many had not heard the human voice for half their life, and
some not at all, who by its use alone are now perfectly restored to hearing
and the society of their fellow-creatures, and enabled to hear distinctly
in a place of worship.--Applicants who send a written statement of their
case by letter, inclosing postage stamps or money order for 7s. 6d.,
directed to DR. DAVID THOMAS, M.R.C.S.L., 14. Stroud Street, Dover, Kent,
will receive the means of cure by return of post, with full directions for
use. Personal consultation for deafness.

MANUAL OF ASTRONOMY, by JOHN DREW, F.R.A.S., Ph. D.--This work, which is
illustrated by 70 engravings on wood and stone, is intended for readers who
are not extensively acquainted with mathematics. It conveys a general
knowledge of the stupendous phenomena of nature, including all the modern
discoveries down to the present time; directs those who possess telescopes
how to use them, what objects to look for in the heavens, and where they
are to be found; and gives familiar directions for the use and adjustment
of the transit instrument, astronomical circle, and equatorial. It is
peculiarly fitted for a text-book in schools, and is a good introduction
for those who wish to obtain a knowledge of the present state of
astronomical science.
"A very good little manual, with a number of well-engraved maps and
diagrams, and written in a brief and clear style, yet with sufficient
fulness to preserve it from dryness."--_Guardian._
