PHEN EDDY who deals in the American manu-
actured Patent improved Pcrifocal Spectacle Lens,
an instrument evidently destined 10 supersede all
other aid to the human vision; judging from tcsti-
mona of their superior properties over other lens,
will only be necessary to refer to observation and
facts to establish for them fur higher character for
usefulness than has hitherto been attained by the
efforts of art a..1 science.
S. Eddy also deals in Jewely, fnc Watches, Sill

critical, the more SO as loss of appetite, hectic
fever, and night swcats rendered me as weak as

Wood Napltha." procured one bottle, and cx-
perienced so much benefit that resolved to con-
tinac il. 1t Is now six months since ceased using
