The only perfect Lens In existence.
| Superior to any other in use-constructed in
accordance with the science and philosophy Of
| nature in a peculiar form of CONCAVO-
| CONVEX ELLIPSIS, admirably adapted to the
Organ of Sight, and perfectly natural to the eye,
affording, altogether the best artificial help tt
| the human vision ever invented.

| tace Manufacturer.
| The advantages Of these Spectacles over all
| others are:
LIST. The only true Lens known, being perfectly
| free from chromatic light, so well known to be
| the cause of injury to the vision, and which
makes the change from Spectacles to Glasses OF
| stronger power SO often required, while both near
and distant objects seen with equal facility
through the same Glasses.
3D. Can be worn with perfect ease for any
length of time at one sitting, giving astonishing
clearness of vision, particularly by candle or
other artificial light--cOmtort to the spectacle
wearer hitherto unknown
Sd. Change of Spectacles or Glasses of stronger
magnifying power in most cases never required,
should the defect arise from age, disease, or pre-
mature decay-thus securing to the patient good
sight during life.
4th. When the eyes ache or pain through the
action of bright light, such as is reflected from
snow, sunny weather, white paper, and in read
ing, writing, or sewing, or vivid colored bodies,
these Lenses, by softening the rays, effect most
agreeable sensation and perfect cure.
9Th. In all nervous affections of the eye caus~
temple, appearance Of luminous and dark spots in
the atmosphere, aching feeling like sand in the
eye, the disturbed nerves are quoted, soothed
and entirely restored.
9Th. Ground by peculiar machinery. got up at
great cost. mathematically calculated expressly
for the manufacture of this Lens so as to produce
it with the true spherical accuracy, and its focus
is at the exact centre, point of vital Importance,
and which no other Lens possesses.

oil val ar all hp
hospitals for diseases of the eye in New York and
elsewhere.
