It is my specially to fit glasses in
such a manner that they relieve the
eyesirain perfectly; fitting the eye with
spectacles that you can see with ease
and comfort, thus preserving the eye.
In examining the eye only the latest
and most improved methods and in
struments are used.
Physicians especially are invited to
call and investigate my methods OF
correcting errors of reiractiOn. Many
casses of headache, neuralgia, nervous
ness, irritability, insomnia, vertigo
nervous prostration and the seeming
stupidity of children are often due to
defective vision caused by an abnOr-
NAL curvature of the cOrnea or crys-
talline lens or to an irreguiaritv of the
refractiDg media of the eye, and are
relieved at once upon application Of the
proper glasses. Ninety per cent. of the
people over 40 years Ofage need glasses,
and 30 per cent. of the 90 need them
| for distance.
Glasses are not always given 10 i'm
prove eyesight, but to relieve undue
strains; in short to assist nature. Thou
sand of eyes are ruined yearly. Seven
persons out of ten have neither eyes
alike, and one out of 20. Astigmatism;
hence the necessity of testing each eye
separately. Special attention is given
to any inequality that may exist be-
tween the refractiOn OF the eve.
Optical science has made rapid ad-
vances within the last few years, the
correct adoption of spectacles has be-
come distanct profession. The optic
ian who thoroughly understands his
business realizes fully that in adjust
ing glasses for his customers he is
treating with most delicate and pre-
cious organ, where the slightest error
may result seriously, while if he does
his work well, he not only gives COM
fort and ease to his patrons, but in
many instances restores sight.
Special care should be taken in se-
Letting the first pair Of spectacles, nor
should it be attempted without the aid
of responsible opticIan. 1t is most
importrnt that the lenses should be ac-
curately centered and of the best quail
ty. and the frames so made that the
wearer looks directly through the CEN

An Instructive Eye-Test.

Here is an instructive eye-test. Is
your right the stronger, or your left
eye? You are right-handed; are you
also right-eyed?
Make this test and see. Place an
object of about two inches in diam.
eter, perfectly round, on level with
your eyes and move back from it to a
a distance of ten feet. Then take
sight over your foreGnger until the
objective point and the tip of the
finger are exactly in line with the eye
from which you are sighting.
Now open the other eye. With
both your eyes open, has the OBJ
jective point moved to one side? If
not the eye with which you first
sighted is the stronger, since the ad-
dition Of the others vision does not
divert the complete vision from the
original focus Of the one eye. If the
object does move to one side it proves
that the weaker eye has done the first
sighting, which the stronger eye has
diverted as soon as it has opened.
