TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDAr TONS
From Medical gentleman professors OF tho high
est opthalInic talent in Wheeling and the Union
Wheeling, March 3lst 1865
have examined Prof BeTnhardts very com.
plete assortment of Spectacles and lenses. They
are better adapted than any have before seen
TO remedy the impertections OF vision, that can
be benefited by the use of SpectacleS The pure
ness and clearness of the glass crystal used Is
an item worthy of special attention. L recon-
mend Prof Bernhardt with confidence and great
cheerfulness to the patronage OF the public.
JOHN FRISSELL, NJ. ID.
Wheeling, W. Va, March 81, 1860.
This is to certify that have examined great
variety of Glasses manufactured by Prof Nj.
Bernhardt OF New York, and in Justice to the
Professor must say that his Glasses are of very
superior quality, adapted to meet the wants of
almost every eye, where the vision is III any way
imperfect.
The Professor selected for me a pair of plano
convex Glasses that were Of very superior work
manship and quality, rendering vision very dis.
tinct almost as perfect rs in youth. l yield
this testimony in favor of the Professors Glass
es very cheerfully. A. S. TODD, NJ ID.
Wheeling, March 3lst, 1865
Ihave examined Prof NJ. Bernhardt's Specta.
ces and Glasses Crystals, etc, and have great
pleasure in recommending them to those desiring
good Glasses They are made of the best mate
rial and in scientific style. The Professor is en-
inently capable of adapting Glasses to suit the
eyes of any who may apply to him, and | conf
IDENTITY recommend him to public patronage
Prof NJ Bernhardt is a thoroughly educated
physician +. \. HlLDRETH, NJ ID.
Wheeling March 81, 1865
The Spectaces of Prof Bernhardt are manu-
featured according to approved scientific prlnci-
pies, and in the most artistic style, and show him
to be an intelligent and skillful optician. The
frames are 80 constructed as to be nicely adjust
ed to the nose and face, which in itself ia no tri
fling recommendation, and the use OF crystal in
stead of glass (Which vastly moro clear
than glass is also much harder ana there
fore less liable to be broken or scratcheh) gives
them great superiority over ordinary SpHtacles
| therefore respectfully recommend Prt. Bern.
hardt tn all whose eyes require the s9'LJtance OF
glasses, ono who is evidently w, icient in
both the science and art of his pro's All, IN.
