The advantages of these Spectaclcs over
all others are:
1st. The only true lens known being per-
fectiy free from chromatic light, SO well
known to be the cause Of injury to the Vi

-spectacles to glasses of stronger power so
often required, while both near and distant
objects arc seen with equal facility through
out the same glasses.

COLUMBIA, S. c., July II, lS6G-l have.
examined great variety OF glasses manu-
factured by Prof. NJ. Bernhardt. and in ius-

where the vision is in any way im,crfrct
The Professor selected Tor me pair of his
Australian Crystal Glasses, which are of a
very superior quality and workmanship
rendering vision very distinct, almost as
i'll favor of the Professors glasses most
chcerfully. d. H. TREZEvANT, NJ. u.
CoLUMBIA, S. c., July II, lS66-I do most
willingly bear my testimony in favor of the
superiority of the Austrian Crystal Single
and Double Vision Spcctaclcs, over all
other KINDS. Ihey are constructed upon
the best established and understood prin-
ciples of optics, and their adaptation to the
human eye in its different conditions of
VISION, Is so perfect as to render sight
easy without effort. In my opinion, none
Others should be used, since the eyes once
nscd TO these do not seem to grow Old and
ny having focus ut any point of the sur
facc. they appear to restore the ewes to
their youthful energy.

COLUMBIA, :. c., July II, 1S66-Wc have
examined the Lenses OF Prof. Dcrnhardt,
and consider them superior to anv we have
seen. They are admirably adapted, not
only to improve the impcrfectiors of i'm
paired sight, but to relieve the weariness
OF vision which constant study produces.
Many OF the glasses arc of new and inge-
NOUS contrivance. We cordially recon-
mend the Professor to all those who re-
qulrc scientific optical assistance.

IN the hospitals in Europe, adjusting spec
tacles to patients under every aspect of de-
fective vision, as we'll as experience in an
