PERIFOCAL, OR AMERICAN PERJSCOPIC SPECTACLES, SUPERIOR to any other kind in use, constructed in accordance with the philosophy of Nature, in the peculiar form of a CONCAVO-CONVEX ELLIPSES; admirably adapted to the organs o?

MASI, At his store on Pennsylvania avenue, near Gadsby's, to whom we have consigned a large assortment, suit: ed to every age and condition of the eye. The Perifocal Glasses can be used lor the greatest length of time, either by day or night, with perfect ease, (when selected to suit the state of the eye.) and never cause that giddiness of the head, or unpleasant sensation to the eyes, l^at many experience from using the common kiiul, .Out tend to strengthen and improve the sight; as will be seen by tlie numerous testimonials from those, who have used them, which can be examined by calling as above. We ask par ticular attention to the following certificate : Philadelphia, March 1, 1843. I have recommended the Perifocal Spectacles to sev eral patients, and have icceived from most of them warm encomiums upon the artio.e. | hey assert that those Glatses do not fatigue the eyes by long use, as is apt to be the case will) the double convex Spec tacks, while the command of the eyes over the ob jects of vision is much greater. This corresponds with the opinion any optician would form from his knowledge of the principles upon which those Glass es are adjusted?so as to converge the rays coming from different quarters to the same focal distance. The eyes can be turned to a considerable extent, therefore, under these Glasses, without involving the necessity of moving the head. GEO. McLELLUN, M. D., 148 Walnut street.

Just received at GILMAN'S dec <? Drug Store. SPECTACLES.?My attention nas oeen called to an article in the public papers and circulated in handbills about this city, called Perifocal Spectacles, said to be constructed in accordance with the phi losophy of nature, in the form of a Concavo-Convex Ellipsis. What is meant by the philosophy of nature may be hard to tell, but certainly they are at variance from the laws or principles c>f Optics, as certainly no Ellipsis can converge the iays of light to a perfect fo cus. They are said not to be the French meniscus or Wollaston's periscopic (one and the same con struction of glasses.) The meniscus lens is a truly ground surface, concave on one side; the other 3ide, possessing a greater degree of sphericity, consequent ly becomes a magnifying glass. This species of glass will converge the rays of light the same as a double convex lens. The application of this form of lenses in the shape of Spectacles, gives the eye a greater field of vision. The celebrated Dr. Brewster, in speaking of these Spectacles says that they give decidedly more impei feet visions tnan co nmou spectacles, because they in crease both the aberration of figure and of color; bub they may be of use in a crowded city in warning us of the oblique approach of objucts. Now, as spec tacles are intended to assist nature, and the Eye, the most perfect masterpiece of Divine Mechanism, (in its natural state,) every part has the very form and office which the laws of optics require for the most perfect vision of an object Is it not preposterous to apply a piece of bent concave or convex glass with- ' out true form or figure to its assistance ? On the con- . trary, is it not reasonable to conclude that their con tinued use would destroy the eye entirely? h'pecta- 1 clcs are probably the most ancient of all optical in struments, and yet has undergone the lea*t change of I any. The subject has been well considered by Opti cians throughout all Europe for ages, and the general conviction is that a truly groumi concave or convex lens is the most suitable for assisting decaying or un natural visions of the human eye. K. PATTEN.
