COLUMBIA, s. c., July II. 1866 do most
willingly bear my testimony in favor of the
superiority Of the Austrian Crystal Single
and Double Vision spectacles, over all
the best established and understood prin-
ciples of optics, and their adaptation to the
human eye in it's 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
