SPECTACLES V BLINDNESS.
VISION is justly described as the most important of our anees, and its loss is re- garded as one of the greatest allictions to which mankind is subject.
It is, therefore, of paramount importanco that we should carefully use our right whilst perfect, and that when, unfortunate- ly, the help of Spectacles in felt to ho ue- essay, the utmost care should be taken in
selection of tlom.
The late eminent Oculist, Dr. Soelborg Wells, testified that he had no hesitation in stating that the haphazard plan of selec ting Spectacles--employed by somo Opti- cians was frequently attended by serious consonances; that syes were ofton per- manently injured, which might, by skilf adaptation of glass, have been preserved for years.
