JF YOU wiil and must wear SPECTACLES, get them exactly suited to the eye, or they will do more }uirm than good. THE OPTOMETER is an instrument invented by Prof. Stampfer, of tho Polytechuieal School of Vienn', for the purpose of measuring with scientific exactness the degree of convexity the eye had lost by age, and it applies accurate numbers of glasses to counteract the de fect. None then, need hereafter complain thxt their spectacles pain their eyes, who call on U 3 to be fitted with Spectacles. Como and see for your selves. Now, though wo have taken much pains to obtain this instrument, as well to inform ourselves with reference to the application of Glasses to remedy the defects of vision, we take pleasure in informing our patrons and the public, that we have become sole agents of Messrs. Ball & Co., for the sale of their recently invented Cups, which render spectacles entirely useless, even to the most Aged persons, where eyes have lost their convexity from age We append, ia favor of this invention, the following letter from Prof. Finney, of Oberlin Col lege. The fact in regard to the improvement in] my sight by the U3O of your Cups are these : I was wearing GLASSES of 18 inches focus—l have had them changod twice; and am now wri ting in a bad light with glasses of 48 inches focus, which is tho lowest magnifying power used by Messrs. Pike. I can now read common print with easo with the lowest magnifying glasses. I have used them agreeably to your directions about four weeks. I see not why I may not expoct, in a short time, to have my sight quite restored by continu ing the use of the cups I cannot but regard this discovery as of great value. Yours, truly, (Signed) C. G. Finney. P. S. lamin my sixtieth year, and have worn glasses about ten years. Feb'y. 7, 1853. —Prof. Finney writes —l have, for the last six or eight months, used them (.the Cups) but seldom. The improved state of my sight rendering me forgetful and neglectful of their steady use. I have received much benefit and no perceptible injury whatever from their use. With my blinds open I read comfortably, and write easily without glasses. Other letters can be seen in pamphlet, published by Messrs. Bail & Co., in our possession, oct 10 OSBORNE A W HITLOCK.

IN offering the services of the steamer FASHION, (the first boat of thi3 lino) to the merchants of Georgia and Carolina, Alabama and Tennossee, we would ask for her that patronage which her construction and light draught of water merits. The Fashion is a home enterprise and owned ex clusively by Capt T. N. Philpot (her commander) and myself, whose entire attention will be given to the interest of her patrons. This boat was built in this city, and groat care has beon taken in her construction to make her worthy of the trade for which she is intended. Hor capacity is about 2000 bales Cotton, her draught es water only 13 inches, which will enable her at all seasons of the year, to deliver hor freight promptly. Hor entire cargo will be taken between decks, which will not only prevent damage to goods in case of snagging, but will add much to the condi tion of packages discharged from her. Mr. M. A. Cohen is the agent of this line in Savannah, where suitable wharves and warehouse have boen provi ded in a central situation for the reception of Cot ton, Merchandize, Ac. The Fashion will run in connection with the New York and Philadelphia stoamship, peliveriug goods at this point in fivo days from either of those cities. JOHN A. MOORE. APERIENT PILLS. DR. A. CUNNINGHAM has, for the last twen ty years usod the above PILLS, and found them a safe and useful remedy in costive habits, and in those sick head-aches, arising from a de ranged condition of the digestive organs. When taken according to directions, they never fail in a* sisting to remedy the many evils arising from the abuse of medicine and improper food. Many of my former patients continue to mse them, therelore I can safely recemuiend them to all who may find it necessary to resort to the use of medicine They may be bad at my Office, and at nearly aH the wholesale and retail Drug stores in this city. *pril 12 dAcly THE book of nature An Elementary Introduction to tho Sciences of Physics, As tronomy, Chemistry, Mineralogy, Geology, Bota ny, Zoology, and Physiology.
