SPECTACLES. — WM. ACK- 

 LAND applies his medical knowledge as 

 a Licentiate of the Apothecaries' Company, 

 London, his theory as a Mathematician, and 

 his practice as a Working Optician, aided by 

 Smee's Optometer, in the selection of Spectacles 

 suitable to every derangement of vision, so as 

 to preserve the sight to extreme old age. 



ACHROMATIC TELE- 

 SCOPES, with the New Vetzlar Eye-pieces, as 

 exiiibited at the Academy of Sciences in Paris. 

 The Ileuses of these Eye-pieces are so con- 

 structed that the rays of light fall nearly per- 

 pendicular to the surface of the various lenses, 

 by which the aberration is completely removed ; 

 and a telescope so fitted gives one-third more 

 magnifying power and li^ht than could be ob- 

 tained by the old Eye-pieces. Prices of the 

 various sizes on application to

* ExAHprB. _ At the commencement of the 

 year 1 84 1 , a person aged thirty took out a Policy 

 for lOOOi., the annual payment for which is 

 24?. Is. 8rf. ; in 1847 he had paid in premiums 

 168?. lis. Sd. ; but the profits being 2 J per cent, 

 per annum on the sum insured (which is 

 221. 10s. per annum for each 1000?.) he had 

 157?. 10s. added to the Policy, almost as much 

 as the premiums paid. 



The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most 

 moderate scale, and only one-half need be paid 

 for the first five years, when the Insurance is 

 for Life. Every information will be afforded 

 on application to the Resident Director.

Dr. Wtirzer's Testimonial. 



" Bonn, July 19. 1852. 

 "This light and pleasant Farina is one of the 

 most excellent, nourisliing, and restorative 

 remedies, and supersedes, in many cases, all 

 kinds of medicines. It is particularly useful 

 in confined habit of body, as also diarrhoea, 

 bowel complaints, affections of the kidneys and 

 bladder, such as stone or gravel ; inflammatory 

 irritation and cramp of the urethra, cramp of 

 the kidneys and bladder, strictures, and hemor- 

 rhoids. This really invaluable remedy is cm- 

 ployed with the most satisfactory result, not 

 only iu bronchial and pulmonary complaints, 

 where irritation and pain are to be removed, 

 but also in pulmonary and bronchial consump- 

 tion, in whicli it counteracts effectually the 

 troublesome cough ; and I am en»bled with 

 perfect truth to express the conviction that Du 

 Barry's Revalenta Arabica is adapted to the 

 cure of incipient hectic complaints and con- 

 sumption. " Dn. Rod Wukzer, 

 •' Coimsel of Medicine, and practical M.D. 

 in Bonn."
