a complete OrrICAL ESTABLISHMENT on MONDAY, the 19th inst. This will be devoted exclusively to scientific examina- tion of the eyes for glasses, and the manufacture of lenses, com- plete Spectacles and Pince-nez. A modern equipment has been installed throughout and every instrument and machine brought to Hongkong is entirely new, direct from the Factory.

During an optical experience of ten years in the United States, and eight years in the Philippines, we have kept in touch with modern improvements and have spared no expense to secure every instrument or machine that would aid in supplying a perfect lens for the relief of an eye defect.

This policy has secured us the confidence of the public in the
