WHO WERE THE FIRST SURGEONS? The barbers were the first surgeons. People went to them in the early (lays with every confidence, to be operated on—there was nothing better known af the time—the same as people go tr some opticians to have their eyes tested by the operator trying on numerous glasses and asking various questions. At one time this was considered sight-testing, but to-day the greatest eye specialists of the world, and the modern optician can accurately diagnose any case and prescribe glasses without asking any questions. The answers of an adult, in a strange room with a strange operator cannot always be relied upon. If the answers are incorrect the glasses prescribed are correspondingly wrong. It stands to common sense and reason that a child must run a grave risk by this old method of testing. Mr Russell, of Russell, Limited (late Russell and Innes), Rangitikei Street, Palmerston North, and Queen Street, Auckland, is a modern optician. He does not use test charts or rely in any way upon the answers of the patient. For the last 26 years he has done no other work but sightdesting. The firm makes a special appeal to those who are tired of trying to get optical satisfaction. They do not hold out an inducement to all to have their sight tested free of charge, but the firm is prepared to absolutely guarantee perfect satisfaction in every case undertaken. If ' your eyes are past repair Mr Russell will know, or if a surgeon’s skill is necessary he will advise you. The next visit to Keedwell’s Pharmacy, Levin, will be on TUESDAY, August 22. RUSSELL, Palmerston North and Queen St., Auckland. Consultation by appointment only.
