Acoustic Auricles, Cornets, Soniferons, Sound Magnifiers, AND OVER SIXTY VARIETIES OF EAR TRUMPETS, AT PUGH MADEIRA'S EAR INSTRUMENT DEPOT, INTERESTING TO THE DEAF.-For the benefit of our readers who may be afflicted with a partial loss of hearing, we publish the following extract from the pen of an eminent divine of our city. Speaking of the loss of sight and hearing, the two most important senses, he says: "When men find their eyesight failing, they then resort at once to the optician and supply themselves with artificial helps to vision-they are not willing to grope their way in darkness, when science supplies them with the means of seeing clearly. Now it seems strange indeed to us, that this promptitude to remedy the defects of failing vision is not witnessed when the ear is implicated and man's hearing is impaired! Deaf men, it is generally observed, are more sad than blind men; and yet, the deaf man can remedy his defect, in nine cases out of ten, with scarcely more cost, and certainly not more discomfort, than the feeble-sighted. Why, then, does he sit in silence, when he would not sit in darkness? We asked this question to-day while looking over the various ear instruments provided by modern science to assist the hearing, and read in the book of Mr. Pugh Madeira, (No. 115 South Tenth street,) the numerous testimonials voluntarily recorded there, of those who bore grateful testimony, from their own experience, that science had succeeded in her task, and supplied the muffled ear with an instrument that opens its obstructed passages to the incomings of sweet sounds and articulate enunciations. Let all affected with deafness try the instruments thus offered them, and we feel confident that one of the many scientific instruments in the possession of Mr. Madeira will afford relief.

No one can examine the liberal variety of its contents and not be favorably impressed with the energy and skill with which it has been conducted, though he may not belong to the household of faith as expounded by Phrenology. It is full of valuable popular information on almost every point that concerns the physical and social wellbeing of men, women and children, set forth with profuse pictorial illustrations, and in a style of constant freshness and vivacity. One often finds relief from the husky meagreness of stately learned pundits in its sparkling columns, which are always in panoramic motion, never in insipid stationary stereotype. We regard this wide-awake JOURNAL as a valuable means of family education, imparting to young readers a store of practical knowledge which will often be of more service than that which they obtain from the School-master.-N. Y. Tribune. Their JOURNAL is an able expositor and advocate of the science as they-the publishers-hold it, and the work may be used with pleasure and to advantage by those who do not accept its peculiarities respecting the distribution of the mental faculties and their development upon the outer surface of the occiput.-N. Y. Christian Advo cate. We cannot speak too much in praise of this excellent and interesting periodical. -Newport Daily News. |
