HARD PROBLEM WAS SOLVED
Ingenious ocullst Stamped Prescrip-
tion on Aluminium, Making 1t

An indestructlble prescription for
eyeglasses has been invented by a Chi
cago oculist, adding one more practical
and ingenious idea to the many al

NJ. Sturgeon was n Chicago young
man who had gone 20 western Canada
to farm on a large scale. He en-
listed in the Canadian army and for
months drove ammunition trucks night
~ out to the front. One night some
thing blew up, and the next Sturgeon
knew was three weeks later in an
English hospital. The doctors there
mended his bones, but no one seemed
able to fix his eyes, which could not
distinguish objects beyond so feet. He
returned TO this country to consult
his former doctor, who succeeded in
devislng glasses which restored his
vision completely. He returned to
Canada and joined the flying corps
there. But everything depended upon
his new glasses. If anything hap
pened to them where would he re-
place them? His doctor solved that
difficulty by stamping the prescrip-
ton on thin piece Of aluminium about
four inches long. This will last a
lifetime, can be carried in box Of
tools without harm. and with this
prescription any optlcian in the world
can make the precious glasses when
ever 1t is necessary to replace them.
