The late eminent Dentist, Dr. Soelberg Wello, testified that ho had no hesitation in stating that the haphazard plan of selec ting Spectaclza-employed by some Opti- dians was frequently attended by serions consequences; that eyes were often per manonly injured, which might, by skilful adaptation of glasses, have been preserved for years.
