THE OPTICIAN AND THE OCULIsT.
Is the Fitting of Glasses n Matter of
Physics or Medicine.
From the New York Post.


There Is trouble between oculists and op-
ticians. Several medical and ocufst socie-
ties have recently passed resolutions con-
demning the practice Of opticians in exam
ming eyes and fitting glasses without a
physicians prescription. The resolutions
state in all cases that the adaptation of
lenses to defective eyesight belongs prop
erly 10 pathology, and should be practised
only by regular graduated physicians. OBJ
ticians they denounce as mere tradesmen
and they "dscountenance their growing
pretenses and assurances"
There is another side 10 the question
however which the opticians set forth
with much emphasis. Their claim is that
the fitting of lenses TO a defective eve and
the treatment Of a diseased eve are two
separate and distinct matters, which
should not be confused The former. thev
declare, requires no knowledge of medicine
but rather of the laws Of physics as il
deals merely with lenses and the fraction
of light.
This science Of "optome try" is moi tausb,
an any institution Of learning ia the co;n-
try. Its theoretical foundation rests on The
laws of hight. and the rest is practice. TIE
only place 10 learn il is in the Office Of
one who practises it, Thus speak the on

i! uclans, who are seeking, and have been
| seeking Tor a long time, 10 obtain for this
science a legal status, to have it taught,
ana It's practitioners recognized. The effort
Is much ike that which was made for dem
tlstry some years ago and the opticians
say the result will inevitably be the same
Inc efficiency of his methods was illus
trated by an optician downtown In an
experiment on one who was discussing
the matter with him. The subject Of
the experiment had had a pair of reading
glasses ntted TO the eyes, on the pre-
scIlptloh OF an oculist The opticisn, 10
demonstrate the accuracy of his methods.
after a brief examination of the mans
eyes told him exactly what the ocust
had discovered by a long and searching
examination, and by many questions.
Ihese questions relate to the effect Of
certain experimental lenses on the vision
as tested by the well-known cards of diff
Iereht sized letters, and the radiatins
parallel lines. The optician put his subject
through this examination, telling him cor
rectly in each instance, from his knowl-
edge OF the state of the eye, Just what
the effect of each lens would be on the
vision and told correctly each time. BY
simpler methods he had done exactly what
the oculist had DONE
An oculist whose opinion on the dis
cussion was asked, replied that the whole
IT rests with the public al large he
sad They are entirely at liberty TO
choose between oculists and opticians. An
optician is competent enough as a rule TO
Mt glasses to correct the vision, but glass
es which are to have any curative effect
on diseases of the eye they cannot pre-
scribe They are shrewd enough as rule
TO recognize such cases when they see
them, and to send them to a physician
For this reason they rarely do any dam
age. 1t is slightly irregular, just as It
would be for q physician to dispense his
own drugs, but that is about all thar
can be said Of it. If they want to have
regular colleges and a degree and Legal
status l don't see why they shouldn't
There are, 1 think. few physicians VINO
would raise any objections to that
think the gist of the whole trouble is that
it is a good thing for opticians to get
into discussion with regular praetitIoh-
ers"

The Horton Bankruptcy Case.

Manning was visited last Monday by
flock of lawyers who gathered here Tor the
pcrpose OF investigating the failure OF Nr.

special referee appointed by the United
States Court and representing the c!alm-
onts were, Messrs. Marion Noise of Sum
ter. George l.. Trenholm Of Charleston and
Wilson i DuRaut of Manning. Repre-
sentinc MIR. W. B. Wilson, who forecIosed

louned to Horton. We're MeSrS. F!tzsimmons
Of Charleston and Joseph + Rhame OF

MeSsrs. r. o. Furdy Of Sumter and Abe
Levi of Manning. The testimony was

Mr. l.. l. PARROT aS stenosrapher. The
court OF inquiry was not pnbllc, or rather
no invitations were extended to outsiders
to be present, and the witnesses were no.

sold under the mortgage at pubic auction
and only brought about enough to pay the
mortgage and expenses.
We took the trouble 10 inquire into the
mortgage given by Horton to Wilson, and
find that Wilson loanei Horton the cash
and the whole transaction is backed up by
drafts, checks and the books of the bank.
The mortgage was duly recorded, the sale
properly advertised in the county paper,
and the sale made withoutany notice Of OBJ
lection being made BY the Horton creoi-
tors. At the sale Mr. Wilson was the only
bidder and the stock Of s., 500 was knocked
