In Offering my thanks for the very kind and
liberal patronage have received during the
short period have been in the city, l feel
that it would be ungrateful for me not to
obey the pressing assurances from my numer-
Gus friends and patrons, to postpone other
engagements and delay my departure. This
will also serve as an answer to the many let
tiers received from the vicinity and counties,
who are anxious to provide themselves with
my Glasses. am gratified TO state that their
their eyes and wish to SEE, DID 'COME TO
SEE" and purchased what they can rely will
make them SEE and not INJURE their
SIGHT. 1t will not be out of place to adjoin
to this card the following remarks from the
pen of an eminent Oculist, who is now in this
city. / allude to DR.. Won MOSCHZISKER,
who, in his work on Optics says:
THE adaptation of optical contrivances to
amend disordered vision, is one of the most
exalted applications of high abstract knowl-
edge for the relief of infirmities of man.
| Thousands and tens of thousands are suffer
ing from damaged vision, caused by improper
use of cheap Glasses, and what would the
sufferers not give if they could but retract
their first wrong step? Vision has been in
sidiously and gradually damaged, and there
| fore the idea of its impairment has not been
suddenly or forcibly brought before their
mind but had the defect come at once upon
them, they would have been amazed and ter.
rified.'' Again There cannot be a greater
error than that committed daily by persons
entering into any store and purchasing Glass
es without the slightest regard as to the 1u-
| periOrity of the Glasses and adjustment in
all its optical points, or care If the man who
sells them knows any thing more of optics
than the size of the money he receives for his
Glasses, or to get his trash off at the least
price he can get for them Great Judgment
and discrimination are required in order to
be able to judge of a lens, if it is Just in all
its points, and also what Glasses the appli-
ant should use. The rules of selecting Glass
es are of paramount
