SPECTACLES VR. BLINDNESS.
Ventes is justly described as the must important of our sonses, 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 uno our sight whilst perfect, and that when, unfortunate. ly, the help of Spectacles in felt to be e- the utmost care abould be takon in the selection of them.
The Inte eminent Oculist, Dr. Soulborg Wolls, testified that he had no hesitation in wisting that the haphazard plan of selec ling Spectacle-ployed by sway Opti eiana was frequently attended by sericas conenenses; that ryos were often per manently injurel, which might, by skilful adaptation of glass, have been preserved for yours.
