OCULIsT AND OrTICIAN,
Graduate of the University of Edinburg
College of opthalmology, and Royal Eye In
Urinary will be at Mrs. Worthington John
sons, No. 33 East Church street, Frederick
Md, for a short period of time, where he may
be consulted by those suffering from disease
or any difficulty of their eyes. DR.. MKenzic
has made a special study Of diseases of the
eye and having had an active practice of ten
years in Europe and America believes he
can successfully combat the diseases which
are so destructive to this delicate organ.
All examinations are made with the opthal-
moscope and other scientific instruments
used in modern opthalmology. A correct
diagnosis is made ut each persons case and
an accurate statement given of the exact con-
dition OF their eyes In functional diseases
of the eyes, where glasses are indicated, the
doctor cuts, grinds and adjusts them tor each
person, thus insuring perfect vision, ease
and comfort to the wearer. These glasses
are free from the imperfeetions usually found
ing lasscs, viz Mud specks, cracks, flaws,
waves, blistcrs, etc. They are made from
pure quartz, very white and as transparent
ms the purest spring water These goods are
not pui on sale in the shops. They are only
ground and fitted to order. Thousands of
people whoare suffering with their eyes from
over llchrymation, pain over the eye and
through the globe. dull heaviness of the
eye itself, a morbid feeling as though there
were sand mbcdded in the mucous membrane
Of The lids, very sensible to light and air and
a desire to partially close the eyes, or an in
cipient inflammation in the globe OF lids.
These and a great many more troubles may
be cited which can be entirely overcome If
the person so afflicted will consult an oculist,
who understands physical and physiological
optics, the laws of light, refraction etc
There are very few cases Of eyes or vision
but can be brought to approximate nearly
normal vision with properly adjusted glasses.

RETURNED FROM Homo KoNG.-Dr. H.
C. Anders returned home on Thursday last,
AS reported in these columns, he left here
about the first of February and in that time
made the round trip to Hong Kong, having
spent eleven days in that port.
He found his profession all and more tnan
it had been represented work plentiful and
prices excellent. He was however unable
to secure suitable rooms for offices and
would not have been able to do so for six
months and he found it under the circum-
stances economy to return. He has arrang-
ed with several gentlemen there to notify
him at once when they will be able to Sc.
cure rooms and qs it now stands, he expects
to return. He invested all Of his spare mon
ey in Chinese and Japanese curiosities,
which he now has here. They arc Won
ders of ingenuity and workmanship and
are just as wonderful in the matter of price.
He was absent about ninety days and in
that time travelled halfway around the
earth and returned. His experience was a
wonderful one, chequcred it is certainly
true and as he viewed everything inteli-
gently it is pleasant to have HIM recount
his mishaps, pleasures disappointments and
surprises which went to make up his expcr-
fence. He says that if his experience on
water was on really Pacific ocean his ina
gination is not vivid enough to picture the
depths of despair into which seasickness on
an ocean that was not pacific would cast
him. He was afraid at one time that he
would die and at another that he would not.
He returns in excellent health and weighs
about twenty pounds more than when he
left.

THE CANNING Projection Thursday
evening last, Mr.. Thomas Smith of Frcder-
lex, until recently manager for Mr.. Louis
McMurray, was in our town to make and
hear propositions looking to the starting of
the canning industry t this place, A num-
Der of citizens met him at Justice Whites
office but nothing decisive was done.
There may be something further yet to
report, but the near approach of the plant
ing season renders the project for this year
one of doubtful practcability. Had the
movement occurred thirty days earlier, it is
probable that something would have come
of it.
