PROCTER having made the disease of the eye, , for the adaption of Spectacles, an especial study, and during 30 years experience in the Optical branch of ins business, knowing the difficulty there has been in procuring the imported article of reliable material properly adjusted to the sight, and haying also secured the services of a thoroughly qualified Optician (late of Dollond and Sons, London), and the only Practical Optician in New Zealand, is now prepared to supply a want long felt amongst the community, viz., liic proper treatment of that most delicate of organs, THE EYE. Where the sight is either naturally defective, or impaired by accident, over-work, or age, T. H. Procter guarantees to supply glasses to suit all smuts, of the best Brazilian Pebbles, or the patent Tinted or other Crystals, selected with care and judgment, so as not only to overcome the inconvenience of defective sight, hut to preserve, as long as possible, the strength of the eye. . . . Next to tlie proper selection of the glasses it is a matter of the greatest importance that the frames should accurately lit the face of the wearer. The majority of people fail to notice the importance of having such an important organ as the eye accurately measured and fitted ; yet persons who would never dream of purchasing a pair of ready made boots, or of putting on a suit of slop-clothos, do not hesitate about taking the first pair of spectacles that are given to them from the stores of top merchants and other dealers who dabble in Optical goods, who, they must know, if they gave a moments thought to the matter, have no pretensions to Optical knowledge. Every Optician must have met with a middleaged housekeeper who has adapted a pair of her aged master’s cast off spectacles, or a needy clerk who has.secured, as ho thinks, “a great bargain" at a pawnbroker’s, and both of these types wonder why their eyes are fatigued, and the sight deteriorated since they began to wear such glasses. Persons suffering from weak and imperfect vision should take the opportunity of calling upon T. R. Procter, when they can have their sight guaged and registered hy specially prepared instruments, and a patent Optometer, ‘for carefully testing the sight, so that they can at any time be supplied by post.^ ' To r. au contractors and OTHEKS. GOOD SHINGLE to be given in exchange for Good Soil for garden purposes. For particulars apply to W. Stychb, Jeo kin’s Mills. 1433
