Important lew Invention l AUSTRALIAN CRYSTAL, SINGLE AND DOUBLE VISION S3 P EOTAOIjES Ihe (July Perject Lens in Existence! Superior to any other in nee—constructed in acrcordanee with the science and philosophy of nature in the peculiar form of a CONOAVO CONVEX ELLIPSIS. Admirably adapted to the Organ of Sight, at and perfectly natural to the eye, affording altogether the best artificial help to the human vision ever invented. Sold only by the Professor of Optics ami Spectacle Manufacturer. THE ADVANTAGES of these Spectacles aver all others, are— -Ist. The only true Lens known, being per fectly 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 powers, so often required, while both near and distant objects arc seen with equal facility through the same Uiasses. 2d. Can be worn with perfect ease for any length of time at one sitting, giving astonish ing clearness of vision, particularly by candle or other artificial light— comfort to the Spec tacle wearer hitherto unknown. 3d. When the eyes ache or pain through the action of a bright light, such as is reflected from snow, sunny weather, wl.ite paper, and in reading, writing, or sewing, or vivid colored bodies, these Lenses, by softening the rays, effect n most agreeable sensation and give great relief. 4th. In all nervous affections of the eyes causing dull and startling pains in the eye ball or temple, appearance of luminous and dark spots in the atmosphere, aching or feeling like sand in the eye, the disturbed nerves are quieted and soothed. sth. Ground by peculiar machinery, got up at great cost, mathematically calculated ex pressly for the manufacture of this Lens, so as to produce it with the true spherical accuracy, and its focus is at the exact centre, a point of vilal importance, and which no other Lens possesses. 6tb. Proof of Ftipcrioiity over the old kind of Spectacles. They are usrd exclusively wt all the hospitals for diseases of the eye, in Berlin, Prussia, and elsewhere. TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATIONS From Medical gentlemen, Professors of tbe highest Opthalmic talent in Augusta, Ua., and in the Union : Arccsra, Ga., December Bth, 1866. I have examined the Glasses of Dr. Bern hardt, and find them of good quality. His testimonials are very numerous and exceed ingly flattering. L. A. DUGAS, M. D. Accusta, Ga., Dec 7, 1566. I do most willingly bear my testimorv in favor of the superiority of the Australian Crystal—single and double vision spectacles over all other kinds. They ore constructed upon the best established aud understood prin ciples of optics, ami their adaptalion to the human eye in its different conditions of vision is so .perfect, as to render sight cosy without effort. In my opinion, none others should bo used, since the eyes once used to those do not seem to grow old, and by having a focus at any point of the surface, they appear to re store thu eyes to their youthful energy. LEWIS D. FORD, M. D. ArcfsTA, Ga. Dec. 7, ISfiC. I have examined a great variety of Glasses manufactured by Professor M. Bernhardt, and in justice to iho Professor, must say that his Glasses are of a superior quality, adapted to meet the wants of almost every eye. where the vision is in any way impel feet. ; r! c Professor sell cted for me a pair of his Australian ( rystal Glasses, which are of a very superior quality and workmanship, rendering vision very dis tinct, almost as perfect as in youth. 1 yield this testimony in favor of the Professor’s Glassos most cheerfully. C. C. PRITCHARD, M. D. ' Augusta, Ga., Dee. 7, 1886. I very cordially recommend Prof. M. Bern hardt to all who may require Glasses. DjiSAUSAURE FORD, If. D. Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7, 186#. e nave examined the Lenses of l’rolessor Bernhardt, and consider them superior to any wc imvo seen. They are admirably adapted not only to improve the imperfections of impaired sight, but to relieve the weariness of vision which constant study produces. Many of the Glasses are of new and ingenious Contrivance. H e cordially recommend the Professor to all those who requite scientific optical assistance. 11. 11. BIG NON, M. D JOHN L. COLEMAN, M. D. W. 11. DOUGHTY, M. D. WM. 11. CLARKE, GREGORY DUGGAN. ArGi’STA, Ga., Dec. 8,186#. I have examined the Glasses of Dr. M. Bernhardt, of Europe, and hare tried them. They are very remarkable for their beauty of WO] i kin an ship, and for their power to assist tho vision. Dr. M. Bernhardt has made Optics the study ot his life, and is evidently most thoroughly acquainted with the science. lie is a native of Berlin, Prussia, and has studied there, hut has ior several vears been a resident o! New Turk. The diseased and aged will find great relief from the use of his Glasses. I have seen numerous testimonials to iho ex cellence ot his Glasses, and to Iris skill as an Optician, and 1 would rcc tutnend him tea whoso vision is impaired e tber through ace or disease.

On the 2d of November last, according t„ my own advice, she placed herself under tho charge of Dr- .51. Bernhardt.
