These celebrated Glasses deserve to be particularly
recommended for their density and transparency for.
as Spectaclcs are designed remedy the defects Of
sight, it is proper that the article of the Lenses arc
made, should be rs transparent in its nature, and
the Lenses as perfect in their fun rs the eye it.
SELF Prof. Gcdeon has accomplished these two great
principles by manufacturing his Glasses out Of
Scotch Pebble, the only substance analogous TO
the humors Of the eye, and has constructed them
in accordance with the Philosophy Of Nature, in
the peculiar form Of Concare Conrcr Mirror.
These Spcctaces enables persons Of weak eye
sight to pursue the most minute employment either
by day or candle light, never causing that unpleas-
ant sensation ofgiddness or'' Drawing of the Eyes"
that is produced by the common Glasses. The
Frames are likewise so constructed that the rays "t
light may be directed through the centre OF the
Glasses, unite correctly upon the rctna and form
perfect picture OF the object.
Added t. the advantages possessed by him OF
long practice in the Eye nfrmarics, and under one
Of the mos, eminent 0culiss, BY which he has OBJ.
tained thorough knowledge Of the diseases Of Wis
ion, he has in his possession documents from ndi
viduals of rank conveying the highest testimoni-
ais of appreciation.
HOME TESTIMONIALS
E Mr.. GEDEoN having presented his Improved
Spectacle Glasses 10 me, for examination, cheertully
herein place al his disposal my opinion in regard TO
them:
So far as am aware the use of the Msniscus, is
entirely novel for the purpose to which he has applied
it; but after careful examination into the merits OF
the improvement, and much conversation with him in
relation 10 it, can express myself highly pleased
with his application OF the principle TO the improvement
Of vision His explanation of it's advantages, is in
accordance with phosophic principles, and far
have examined the subject, meets my approval The
Glasses are certainly constructed with great care and

PRoF GEDEoN-Dear Sir: Il have carefully e1amin-

We are using pair of Pros. GEDEoN's Concavo.
Convex Glasses, and find them remarkably easy and
pleasant to tho sight We read fine print with
them, and write for hours without feeling that un.
pleasant sensation Of" Drawing the Eyes" which the
common Glasses have done. We donot know whether 1t
the superiority of the MATERIAL or the principle on
which they ground, but say, conscienousy,
that they arc the hest Glasses we ever had.
