SPECTACLES V. BLINDNESS. The symptoms indicating failure or irregulari-
ties of sight are frequently too long disregarded and either from ignorance or feeling of diffidence, the aid demanded by nature is withheld until serious mischief has been caused to the sight, often resulting in blindness.
The following patients out of many hundreds have sent unsolicited acknowledgments of the benefit they have derived from the use of our Pebble Spectacles :-
The Earl & Countess Lindsay, Queen's Gate, London, S.W.
Lady Kemball, 79 Queen's Gate, London, S.W. Lady Emily Digby, Coventry, England: S. R. Groom, Esq., F.R.G.S., Barrister at Law, Singapore,

Surgeon General A. E. Dale, M.D., India. Major General Murray, C.B., India. Brigade Surgeon. J. A. Scott, M.D., India, &c.
For protection against gun and dust our Luculent Glare Protectors are strongly recommended
by the leading Ophthalmic Surgeon. "MILITARY MEN, ENGINEERS, PERMANENT WAY INSPECTORS, and those whose occupation compels them to be out in the heat of the day, will find these Glasses invaluable. By their use the eyes are kept cool, and dimness of vision, inflamniation of the eyes and IRRITATIVE FEVER, consequent on over-exposure to the glare, are prevented."
