SPECTACLES VS. BLINDNESS,
VISION is justly described as tho mest important of our sonass, and its loss is re garded as one of the greatest affictions to which mankind is subject.
It is, therotors, of paramount importance that we should carefully use our sight whilst perfect, and that whon, unfortunate- ly, the help of Spectacles is felt to be no cenary, the etmest ence should be taken in the selection of them.
The lato ominent. Ocalia, Dr. Soelburg Wolls, testified that he had no hesitation in stating that the haphazard plan of selec ting Spectach-omplayed by some Opti- ciane--was frequently attouded by serious consequences; that ugen were often por manently injured, which might, by skilful adaptation of glasses, hava bson proserved for years.

Writes:-
I have used Glasses for twenty years, and have no hesitation in saying that, these supplied me by you are the best I have over worn. I wear them with much satisfaction and comfort, and find the frames are expe cially convenient.
