1t is our speciality to fit glasses in such
a manner that they relieve the eye strain
perfectly; fitting the eye with ease and
comfort, thus preserving the eye. In
examining the eye only the latest and
most improved methods and instruments
are used.
Physicians especially are invited to
call and investigate our methods Of
correcting errors of refraction. Many
cases Of headache, neuralgia nervous
ness, Elrritability. insomnia, vertigo,
nervous prostration and the seeming
stupidity Of ch ldren are often due to
defective vision caused by an abnormal
curvature of the COrnca or crystalline
lens or to an irregularity Of the refract-
Ing media of the eye, and are relieved at
once upon the application of the proper
glasses. Ninety per cent of the people
over 40 years of age need glasses, and 80
per cent of the 30 need them for dis
tance.
Glasses are not always given to i'm
prove eyesight, but to relieve undue
strains in short to assist nature. Thou
sands of eyes are ruined yearly. Seven
persons out Of ten have neither eyes
alike, and one out of twenty Astigma-
ttsm hence the necessity of testing each
eye separately. Special attention is Civ
en- to any inequality that may exist be-
tween the re'raction Of the eye
Optical science has made rapid ad-
vances within the last few years, the
correct adoption of spectacles has be-
come a distinct profession. The opti-
clan who thoroughly understands his
business realizes fully tn 1t in adjusting
glasses for his customers he is treating
with most delicate and precious organ
where the slightes' error may result
seriously, while If he does his work well,
he not only gives comfort and ease to
his patrons, but in many instances re-
stores the sight.
Special care should be taken In select
ing the first pair Of spectacles, nor
should it be attempted without the aid
of responsible optican 1t is most
important that the lenses should be ac-
curately centered and of the best quality
and the frames 50 made that the wearer

HOG Feeds.

At the Ontario Experiment Station
swine feeding experiments Justified
the following conclusions:
]. Barley alone gave larger gains
than when combined with either oats
or corn.
2. Barley and roots gave larger
gains than barley alone.
3. Cooked roots gave much better
results than raw roots, but it is very
probable that the individuality of tic
animals had more to do with causirx
this difference than the cooking cf
the roots.
4. In tine case Of cooked roots, one
pound Of grain proved equivalent to
SO pounds of roots. This is not nearly
so high a value as many people place
upon roots for feeding hogs; but it cor
responds very closely with the results
