SPECTACLES 7. BLINDNESS.
VISION is justly described as the most important of our senses, and its loss is ro- garded as one of the greatest afflictions to which mankind is subject,
It is, therefore, of paramount importance that we should carefully use our eight whilst perfect, and that when, unfortunate- ly, the lulp of Spectacles is folt to be no- Cemary, the atmost care should be taken in the selection of thurs.
The fato eminont Ocntist, Dr. Soelberg Wolls, testified that he lui no hesitation in stating that the haphazard plan of nelno- ting Spectacles-employed by some Opti- diane was frequently attended by serious consequenow; that eyes were often per manently injured, which might, by skilful adaptation of glasies, have been prosersed for years.
