CRIMES AGAINST THE EYE

before he can enter intelligently
upon his work, and in addition to
his acquired knowledge of this abb
struse science, he must be provided
with the necessary Instruments and
apparati. which the practice of op
thalmology and optometry has
called forth and provided. before
he can do perfect work.
How important 1t is then that
those with imperfect vision, or hav-
ing any malady of the eye. should
exercise both wisdom and discretion
in the selection of him who is 10
minister to their affliction, lest
some crime of irreparable nature
through incapacity be committed
against vision--the most precious
and important of the vital senses of
man.
Fully appreciating the import

invite the patronage of the public

existing in the nose and throat, and
in as much as the eye, ear, nose and

also capable and prepared to make
scientific examinations and treat

supply such systemic treatment as
may be necessary in order to assure
to their patients all proper treat

The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-03-03

While man is Gods masterpiece
of perfection in all creation. the eye
is the most delicate, complex and
most important organ of his body.
Ever exposed to a thousand dan
gers, and subject to a multitude of
taxation. affected by many causes
that serve to impair its usefulness,
it is nevertheless the most imposed
upon, most neglected, and usually
the least scientifically treated when
out of order of any other special
part of mans anatomy.
Every day we see evidences of the
proneness of men to postpone the
putting on of helpful glasses until
permanent injury to the optics has
been sustained. Too often also is 1t
the case that people neglect proper
treatment of minor defects of the
eye which might have been readily
cured but procrastinated until radi-
cal injury or ruin is a result
Parents are especially often neg
ligent of the eyes of their children,
and thereby suffer them to become
permanently defective in vision and
thus grow up inefficient for >the ac-
complishment of the highest
achievements in the mission of life.
Much of the crime against the eye
is due to the ignorance of parents,
much to procrastination on the part
of persons afflicted, and very much
to incompetent doctors and opti
clans, who attempt to do that for
which they are lacking in skill to
do.

wholly unconscious or Indifferent to
the fact that there Is as much diff
erence in grades of glasses as there
is in shoes. hats, sugar, watches or
anything else that is made and sold.
But much Importance as there may
be in the quality of glass, thou
sand times more important is the
matter Of correctness in the fitting.
Not every man who calls himself
an optometrist or optician, Is either
by education or equipment qualified
to fit glasses. and great indeed are
the crimes such men perpetrate
upon their victims eyes. The
science OF refraction is an exact
science, and for comprehensive
understanding Of its laws as they
apply to optics, require much hard

to master. But q mastery Of these

west caused rain or snow over the en-
tire lake region and the Atlantic states
from Maine to Florida, only moderate
amounts being reported. The storm
manifested itself more in the high wind
velocities than as a precipitation area.
The general high pressure area that
occupies the Gulf region and eastern
valleys will make more rapid prog
ress eastward within the next "a hours
and a gradual rise in the temperature
is looked for Monday.
Although rain is falling very gener-
ally over the north Pacific states, the
effect of a low over Montana and tho

is no indication that the rains will ex-
tend to Alabama. The pressure will
