Weak Eye#,~ By iiiere chance 1
Lave fouud on i thai a piece of green
glass, laid flat ixi a book, wjil be of
the utmost benefit to those who are
' troubled with weak eyes. 1 meau
to those who wish lo read, but who]
are often, in the most interesting!
parts perhaps, obliged reluctantly to1
leave off. 8ome will say, you m?y!
n& well wear green spectacles ? but I
-pay No ! A piece of fine clean glass,
about the size of a royal octavo
page, w ill be found of infinitely more
assistance ? find in order to strength
en the fact, I beg to say that a youug
gentleman about the flge of sixteen,
was learning to play the flute, but
before he could play a note, was al
ways obliged to have the music col
ored, either green or blue, which of
course was attended with much in
convenience, and in some cases
would have been cji.ite out of the
question. He tried green spectacled,
but they did nqt answer the end. ?
Being one day in the garden, he
placed a piece of green glass on his
book, and fouud that he could bear
to read without t^ie smallest incon?
venience. As this simple method of
. preserving the sight, may be of im
portance- to many of your readers, I
will he glad if you will give it a
?publicity. : A CAMBRIAN.
