Scientific
EYE TESTING

The modern Optometerist examines
the eyes carefully with the aid Of prop.
er instruments and prescribes lenses
for all defects of vision.
In case the eyes are found diseased
the patient is sent to the Oculist (who
makes surgery and diseased eyes his
speciality.
Optometry Is distinct profession,
and the Optometrist who devotes his
entire time to his profession Is more
successful than the Oculist who devotes
q small part of his time.
The modern Optometrist charges for
his professional skill and time either
directly or indirectly (but more about
this next time).
When you consider that you can
have your eyes fitted at little cost at
home BY one that has the scientific
training you can hardly afford to
trine or take chances with. your eyes

people cannot live without aid to see
another harvest, and may say that
this figure has not only been approved
by the zemstvo organization, but also
by the government ITSELF The date of
the harvest will vary with the latitude
and the famine stricken region is
spread over such a wide area Give
times the size Of France) that more
than 10 degrees of latitude are in
volved. This means that in direct
proportion from south to north the
harvest will be from June 8 to 20 (new
style).
Funds will be needed to the end
Of July to feed all these millions, and
then the harvest will bring relief;
but there are many hundreds Of thou
sands to whom the harvest will not
bring relief, for they have neither
land nor cattle"
