are reudered nearly free frsm chromatic sub
stances and prismatic lights, points of the ut
most importance in the construction of Specta
cles and Lens.
2d—They have a great superiority over glass, and
are unequalled for clearness, and also for cool
ness to the eye.
3d—Tliey can he worn with perfect ease for any
length f time at one sitting; giving astonish
ing clearness of vision, particularly by candle
or artificial light, and great comfort to the spec
tacle wearer.
Rh—When the eyes pain or ache from the action of
light, and in reading, writing, or sewing on
vivid colored bodies, these Lenses, by softening
the tajs, a fleet the most aggreable sensation to
the eye.
sth—Tn ail nervous affection of the eye—causing
duller startling pains in the eyeballs or temples,
appearance of luminous or dark spots in atmo
sphere, aching, or feeling like sand in the eyes
—the disturbed nerves are quieted, soothed,
comhosed, and entirely restored.
