    L 20 ] of artificial Eyes, which certainly look very natural— and the Doctor assures us are inserted without causing any pain, and are so perfect, that not only the casual ob- server, hut even the professional man often cannot detect them—the Artificial Ear, or the self-supporting Sound Conveyor, an instrument improved by Dr. M. himself, which is invaluable to those whose deafness is be- yond the reach of medical skill. It conveys sound accu- rately to the ear, and can be worn without the slightest inconvenience. Of his instruments, we will name the Ear Illuminator and Opthalmascope, instruments by which the Oculist is able to look into the depth of the eye and ear and detect the slightest ailments of these organs. The Optamator measures the exact focus of the eye : and spectacles purchased of Dr. M., who by the by has the very finest assortment of Chevalier's Pantascopic Glasses, which are the most useful ones that have yet been invented, are sure to suit the exact focus of the eye, and not injure the sight. Dr. M. has indeed every thing that science has brought to light, and is fully capa- ble of restoring vision and hearing, and to investigate the diseases those organs are subject to.—Let those who are in need of an Oculist and Aurist, who wish to have an eye inserted or are in want of glasses, profit by the Doctor's visit to our city. We would further mention that we have heard several physicians of high standing speak most flatteringly of the Doctor's work on the eye and ear, and they, too, were perfectly delighted with their visit to him.
