SINGLE AND DOUBLE VISION
SPECTACLES!

H1HE only PERFECT LENS in existence:
\ superior to any other In use; construct
ed IN accordance with the science and phi
| losophy of nature in the peculiar form of a
Concavo-convex Elipsis- admirably adapt
ed to the organ Of sight, and perfectly
| natural to tho eye, affording altogether the
best artificial help to the human vision
ever invented Sold only by the Professor
| OF Optics and Spectacle Manufa cturer.
Tho advantages of these Spectacles over
| all others are:
| 1st. The only true lens known being ner
fectly free from chromatic light, so well
known to be the cause of injury to the vi
sion, and which makes the change from
| spectacles to glasses of stronger power so
often required, while both near and distant
| objects are seen with equal facility through
out the same glasses.
I'd. Can be worn with perfect ease for
any length OF time at one sitting giving
astonishing clcarness of vision, particu-
| larly by candle or other artificial light
comfort to the spcctacle-wearcr hitherto
unknown.
Sd. When the eyes ache or pain throupb
the action of a bright light, such as is re-
| f1ected from snow, sunny weather, white
paper and III reading, writing or sowing, or
| vivid colors, these lenses, by softcning the
| rays, effect most agreeable sensation
and gives great relief
4th. In all nervous affections of the eve.
|
| oali or temple, appearance of luminous
| ana dark spots IN the atmosphere, aching
| or feeling like sand in the eye, the disturb
ed nerves are quieted and soothed.
5th. Ground by peculiar machinery, got
up at great cost, mathcmatically 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 possess.
9Th. Proof Of superiority over the old
! kind of spectacles. They are used eXclu-
sively at all the hospitals for diseases of the
eye, in Berlin Prussia, and elsewhere.
Testimony Of recommendations from ,nedi-
| col gentlemen professors Of the higlea
| ophtalnaic talent IN Charleston and CGi,lln-
| Gia, S. c., and in tie Union.
| COLUMBIA, S. c., July II, 1861 have
examined great variety of glasses manu-
taosurod net re ny ny Prof NJ Bcrnhardt, and in JUS
! glasses are OF a superior quality, adapted
TO meet the wants of almost every eve.
where the vision is in any way imperfect.
The Professor selected TOR me pair of his
Australian Crystal Glasses, which are of
| very superior quality and workmanship
rendering vision very distinct, almost as
perfect as in youth. / yield this testimony
in favor of the Professors glasses most
cheerfully. d. H. IRRELEVANT, N. d.
| CoIuMBIA, 5. c., July -, 1S66.-I do most
| willingly bear my testimony in favor of the
| superiority OF the Austrian Crystal Single
and Double Vision Spectaclcs, over all
| other kinds. They are constructed upon
the best established and understood prin-
clples of optics, and their adaptation to the
human eye in it's different conditions of
vision, IS 80 perfect as to render sight
| easy without effort. In nv opinion. none
others should be used, since tie eyes once
used to these do not seem to grow old, and
by having focus at any point of the sur.
| face, they appear 70 restore the eyes to

| COLUMBIA, S. c., July 12 1866. I'VE have
examined the Lenses of Prof. Bernhardt,
| and consider them superior to any we have
seen. They are admirably adapted, not
| only to improve the impcrfectons of i'm
paired sight, but to relieve the weariness
OF vision which constant study produces.
Many OF the glasses are Of new and inge-
mend the Professor to all those who re-
qulro scientific optical assistance.

Many years Of public practice and study
IN the hospitals in Europe, adjusting spec
tacles to patients under every aspect of de-
fectlve vision, as we'll as experience in an
extensive, long established business in his
optical stores, both here and in Europe,
Prof. Bernhardt considers it a sufficient
| guarantee of his ability to apply such
