Why the World Advances! For hundreds of years mac was content to follow the footsteps of :' ■ his fathers —nothing new appealed to him—goods, remedies, etc., advertised as having being prepared for the last fifty to one hundred years would appeal to the average man in that period. He wanted nothing new, but during the last thirty years things have changed. Every branch of . Science has rapidly advanced. Why? Because. we are educated not to be content with present conditions, but to want the best, and demand it, and still look for something better. The matured man of to-day would not dream of going to the dentist and accepting the methods used in the old days of his grandfathers, or perhaps father. Dental treatment was crude compared to what it is now. Similar strides have taken place in the Medical and all other professions, but perhaps no other science has advanced more during the last 25 years than the Optical profession. The methods that were used by all opticians just a few years ago are now out of date. There was nothing but the old chart-test-ing system. The , Optician has to rely on the answer of his clients; s if they were incorrect the glasses were correspondingly wrong—but to-day all. the leading eye specialists of the world have accepted and ! used the method of Mr. Russell. He does not claim to have invented j this system, but he was one of the first' to introduce it into Australasia. The chart-testing is completely eliminated; the specialist no longer relies upon the answer of the patient. The youngest child can have an accurate eye test made, and there is the certainty of knowing - that . the . glasses prescribed are correct, and not liable to injure the eyes in any way. Any loss of vision is always to be de- . plored— eyes deserve the best possible care and attention you can give. them, so do not be misled to think that you are having your eyes properly tested by the old chart-testing system. ■; 'M Make an appointment, and consult Mr. Russell.
