Mr.. A. K. Hawkes.: Dear Sir-About
one year ago my sight began to fall. with
the usual symptoms, viz: after reading Tor
a short time my eyes became confused and
there seemed to be dmness before them,
also accompanied with pains in the eye ball.
Being satisfied that glasses were impera-
lively demanded, applied to you for them,
and, am happy to say, with wonderful re-.
suits, for after having worn your crystal
lied lenses for a short time my eyes re-.
gained their accustomed strength, and can
now read the fueet print for hours with
perfect esse without gassea.
