Cormick Neurological College. Mr..
Bear is already recognized as an au-
thority on errors of refraction and
those which cause headache,
momentary blindness and dizzy sensa-
tions with a sick feeling in the stomach,
which is nervous reflex from the eyes.
He is man who believes in keeping
strictly upto date in his profession,
which can only be done by spending a
short time each year in school where
all those peculiar and difficult cases are
brought before the class and demon
strated every day. Mr.. Bear said last
week while in our Office that the work
he had been able to do in the last two
years had been much greater and much
better than he had anticipated, and the
number of people needing glasses are
many times more than any one not in
the profession would ever suspect.
That great many people who have
what they think is perfect vision are
the ones who have daily headaches and
find that riding on train or in buggy
fags them out and gives them the sick
headache, with tagged out, all gone
feeling. These persons, he says, are
the people for whom he can do work for
that will be most and longest appre-
ciated. DR.. Mccormick, who is at the
head of the great school where Mr..
Bear is now attending was one of the
first to study out and advance the
theory of Strengthening cross-eyes with
out the use Of medicine or cutting the
muscles, but it is now an established
fact and can be done with certainty
in nearly every case. Any person need
ing optical work of any kind done will
make no mistake by calling on Mr.. Bear
on his return from Chicago.

brick wall. which went with a crash and
were picked UP in the roadway at the back of the
place. bleeding and unconscious. The other
men were in another part of the ROOM and were
severely burned by the fire which followed the
blowing up of the tanks, which were imbedded
in the ground directly under the mixing kettle
= score or more of other workmen in the place
barely escaped the fire, which spread rapidly
and soon laid part of the big plant in ruins.
They rushed into the Streets but returned
through the rear driveway and carried their en-

Three alarms were sounded for the blaze. and
while the apparatus rolling toward the con-
fiagration two fires started in other parts of the
city, necessitating the use of the few engines
remaining
According to one of the workmen in the plant,
the accident was caused by the heat of the
playing upon the varnish kettle The heat, it
is said. ignited some naphtha which had been

keep them from spreading to the large junk
shop of ]. Liebstein & Sons, at Oliver street and

this frame structure was all ablaze. and by the
hardest kind of fight the frefghters kept the
flames from the building of the Hanovia Chemi-
cal Company. which adjoins the Caffery plant.
The damage was estimated at $4,000 which
is partly covered by insurance
