The advantages OF these SDectac cles over
all others are:
lst- The only true lens known being n.,r
iiectly iree from chromatic light, so well
known to be the cause Of injury to the vi
SION, and which makes the change from

often required, while both near and distant
objects are seen with equal facility through
out the same glasses.

COLUMBIA, S. c., July ~. 1861 do most
willingly bear my testimony in favor of the
superiority of the Austrian CRYSTAL Single
and Double Vision Spectacles, over ali
other kinds. They are constructed upon
the best established and understood prin.
clples 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
