The Greatest improvement Of the Age.
SPECTACLES, &C., ground on the exact lrinci-
- pies of Spherical Accuracy, by A. GEDEON,
the celebrated Opician from the Improved Specta-
Gle ManuElctory and Berlin Optical Establishment,
No. l07 Frederick William street, Berlin, estab-
shed more than century ago.
Prof. GIDEON submitting to the request Of q
great many persons of Edgefeld and vicinity, will
visit that place on the first Monday in December
for ONLY TWO DAYS, positively, as other en-
gagcments prevent him from staying longer. He
may be consulted at his Rooms at the Carolina Ho-
tel, Edgefeld c. H., on those two days.
Office hours from s a. M. till S P NJ.
These celebrated Glasses deserve to be particularly
recommended for their density and transparency for,
as Spectaclcs are designed to remedy the defects Of
sight, is prnpcr that the article Of the Lenses
malc should be as transparent in its nature, and
the Lenses perfect in their form, as the eye it.
SELF Prof Gedeon 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 a Concare COnuer Mirror.
These Spectacles enables persons Of weak eye
sight to pursue the most minute employment, either
by day or candle light, never causing that unpeas
ant sensation Of gddness or" Drawing of the Eyes"
that is produced by the common Glasses. The
Frames are likewise so constructed that the rays Of
light may be directed through the centre Of the
Glasses, to unite correctly upon the retina, and furm
perfect picture OF the object.
Added to the advantages possessed by him Of
long practice in the Eye lnfrmaries, and under one
of the mos, eminent Oculists, by which he has OBJ
taned thorough knowledge Of the diseases OF WIS.,
ion, lie has in his possession documents from mdl-
viduals of rank, conveying the highest tcstinlun-
ais of appreciation.
HOME TESTIMONIALS
~ Mn. GEDEoN having presented his Improved
Spectacle Glasses me, for examination, cheerfnlly
herein place at his disposal my opinion in regard to
them:
So far as am aware, The use Of the NIeniscus, 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 to il, can express myself as highly pleased
with his applican OF the principle 10 the Improvement
of vision. His explanation Of LIS advantages, is IN
accordance with phosophic principles, and so far as
have examined the subject, meets my approval. The
Glasses are certainly constructed with great care, and

We are using pair of Pros. GEDEoH's Concavo-
Convex Glasses, and find them remarkably easy and
pleasant to the 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 do not know whether it
is the superiority of the MATERIAL the principle on
which they are ground, but say, ,cunscienuusy
