SPECTACLES V. BLINDNESS.
Vox is justly described as the important of our sepaus, and its loss is re. garded as one of the greatest afflictions to which mankind is subject.
It in, therefore, of paramount importance that we should carefully use our sight whilst perfect, and Chat when, unfortunate- ly the help of Spectacles is felt to be na- cessary, the utmost care should be taken in the selection of them.
2010
The late ominent Deuliat, Dr. Snelberg Wella, testified that he had no hesitation in stating that the haphazard plan of neles- ting Spectacles-omployed by some Opti- eias-was frequently attended by serious commequences; that eyes were often per- mancatly injured, which might, by skilful adaptation of glasses, have been preserved for years.
