SPECTAULES Va. BLINDNESS. Vratox is justly described as the most important of our senses, and its loss is re- garded as one of the greatest afflictions to which mankind is subjent.
It is, thorofore, of paramount importance that we should carefully use our siglat whilst perfect, and that when, unfortunate- ly, the help of Spooples is felt to be no- cessary, the utmost care should be taken in the selection of them.
The late eminent Oculist, Dr. Sortborg Well, testified that he Ead no hesitation in stating that the haphazard plan of selec ting Spectacles-employed by some Opti- cinae was frequently attended by serious conseguonons; that oyes were often per manently injured, which might, by skilful adaptation of glasies, have been preserved
for years.
