H. Crowder Co. HOW THE EYESIGHT IS INJURED. Reading, sewing, sketching, paint- ing or other like work, wherein a close use of the eyesight is made, if done facing a window, unshaded lamp or electric light, impairs vision and in- jures the eye. In a similar manner the eye is injured by the glare from the reflected sunlight or snow, cement sidewalks, pavements and the like, and if not protected by colored glass- es, retinitis may result. Many in- flammatory diseases of the eye are caused by working in dark, close or ill -ventilated rooms, as well as by dusty occupations, such as threshing, flax mill work, etc: In all such cases the eyes should have proper protec- tion and the lighting and ventilation of rooms improved. But the most widespread cause of injury to the eye- sight is the neglect of wearing glasses when required or the wearing of im- properly fitted or unsuitable ones. Glasses which do not properly correct the errors of refraction always injure the eye as well as the eyesight. The eyesight of multitudes to -day is being seriously impaired by wearing im- properly fitted or unsuitable glasses. This is chiefly due to the "free eye - test" fake which is worked to perfec- tion by the tramp house-to-house spectacle,pedlar. Going up and down every concession line and side -road, proclaiming themselves "professors," "doctors of optics," "neurologist opti- cians," "glass manufacturers," etc., assuming the name of any Well-known Oculist and promising a cure for all ills by means of their wares, these tramp, house-to-house spectacle ped- lars succeed not only in filching the money from. the unsuspecting public but which is of far greater moment, injuring the eyesight by means of their cheap, unsuitable glasses. These spectacle pedlars seem to be past mas- ters of the "free eye -test" fake. The ordinary tramp who is going about looking for something to eat or a night's lodging, is anuisance but . harmless ; on the other hand his bro- ther; the spectacle pedlar tramp, is not only a nuisance but in a position to do the gravest harm to the public, Next to the loss of life, the loss or im- pairment of the eyesight is the great- est misfortune. But 'what care these tramp hawkers of spectacles, so long as they can filch the money from the people in exchange for their goods P ;here to -day, gone tomorrow, ever seeking pastures new, especially among the farming community, those over seeking new birds ofpreyareg 1 victims, ever making more dupes 1 Themselves nameless, their location unknown, nevertheless through sheer itnpertinenee they intrude into the homes of the people, and oa,jole thorn into exchanging cash for their wares. Their success in imposing their goods on the public is a commentary on the credulity of human nature and a cer- tificate to the extent to which the "free eye -test fake" is used, For the public to defend itself against thele is by no means easy, but if it be remem- bered that these unlicensed pedlars as soon as they enter a farmhouse are trespassers and if the proper action be taken against them as such and the door slammed in their face, the dog called, it is believed these measures will mitigate the nuisance and lessen the risk to the eyesight. In all cases of persistent headache, dizziness, fail- ing eyesight, consult the family phy- sician or an oculist. An oculist is a surgeon who has made a special study of the eye and who is competent to prescribe glasses or any treatment deemed advisable in each case. Nei- ther the family physician nor an ocu- list will prescribe glasses unless they are couvincecl that such are required. If a person break his leg he would not think of calling in a carpenter to reduce the fracture, but it would be much safer to do so than when the eyes are failing to allow an unknown tramp fakir to experiment on them. ..:iL.eVA.rJt■r a... -- ..ts.-:... THE L" INGHAM ADVANCE -^,- THURSDAY, OCTOBER II, x906 Goderich. The fast of the defendants in the Ashfield charivari case will appear be- fore His honor Judge Doyle en Mon- day, the 22nd inst. The fifth span of the Maitland River R. R. bridge is in position, and the bridge builders are preparing to hoist the sixth, so it looks as if the gravel trains will be passing over it within a mouth. Mr. N. J, Morrisoy has some prolific game bantams with a record. One hen is now at her third setting, and the first batch of chickens have been laying for some time, and one of then will have a brood out in a few days, Three generations in one season looks tike working overtime. Evangelia Hawley of Goderich has filed a writ asking for a declaration that the Guelph & Goderich Railway has no right to expropriate harbor lot No. 1025, Goderich, or to proceed with arbitration to determine the value of the land, and for an injunction to re- strain there from proceeding. On Sunday afternoon three young men had an upset in a small sailboat a short distance outside the harbor en- trance. A stiff breeze was blowing and their boat capsized. They were unable to .right it and had to cling to the overturned craft until taken oft by a number of men who went to their help in John Bruce's gasoline boat. They were in the water about twenty minutes and were pretty much exhausted when taken out. They were fortunate to get off as well as they did. On Tuesday Police Magistrate Hum- ber heard a case under the Fruit Marks Act, a local shipper being charged with•having sold some falsely - marked apples. The information was laid by Inspector Gifford, of Meaford., Fifteen barrels marked XXX had only XX apples in them, but as the fault was evidently with the packer, hot with the shipper, the magistrate was not disposed to take a. harsh view of the matter. The shipper pleaded guilty and paid a penalty of 50 cents per barrel. Tho G. T. R. steam shovel, which was at work below the line of the Guelph and Goderich road near the elevator, ceased work on Monday, the Guelph & Goderich Company having secured an injunction restraining the Grand Trunk from proceeding. This is the second injunction the C. P. R. obtained, the first applying only to the place where the G. T. R. first started work, and this one applying to the place where they started after getting their shovel released from the enclosure the C. P. R. built around it. The work the Grand Trunk has done has undermined the trestle -work of tke Guelph & Goderich road, and one e of the supporting ortin piles has fallen out of the ground, while many others are exposed their whole length, and in fact the work done by the Grand Trunk actually extends under the 0. P. R. trestlework. M. K. Cowan, K. C., assistant solicitor for the Grand Trunk, was in town during the week, and on his return in a newspaper in- terview in Toronto intimated that this dispute was a small thing com- pared with a much bigger fight which was pending between the two com- panies.

Regained Nerve and Vital Energy. Froin Walton P. 0., Que., comes the following from Mr. Nazaire Begin -"If anyone had told inc any remedy could build up my nervous system so well, I would not have believed them. Before using Ferrozone I was run down in nerve and vital energy, and in very weak health. I didn't get enough sleep at night, felt poorly in the day time. Ferrozone has filled Inc with energy and vim, increased my weight and made a new man of inc." Hundreds tell the same story -- Weak and dispirited, everything go- ing wrong, unable to catch up. They took Ferrozone and all was changed to health and serenity. Price 50c per box at all dealers. ---Sonne time ago a team of horses belonging to a fanner named Pettit were stung to death by bees. Suit was brought, and a verdict of $400 damages rendered. Last week a mo- tion was made before the Divisional Court to set aside the verdict and se- cure a new trial, The Divisional Court held that the owner of the bees had placed a very largo number of hives within a hundred feet of Pettit's lance, and, in the course of their ordi- nary flight between the hives and Pettit's field of buckwheat, they would pass directly over an intervening field of oats, where it was necessary for Pettit to be for the purpose of har- vesting the sane. Appeal was dis- missed, and verdict for $100 danages sustained, FALL ASSIZE COURT. The fall term of the high Court of Justice opened on Tuesday afternoon before the .Honorable Mr. Justice Brit- ton. A grand jury had been sum- moned beeaese one of the defendants in the Ashfield charivari case had been committed, bat a few days since he claimed his right to elect, and elected to bo tried without a jury, so the grand panel was notified not to at- tend. The civil list contained six causes, three of which were down for jury trial, hut at the opening of the court, His Lordship deckled that these be tried without a jury, so the petit jurynien'were discharged. Of the six causes on the docket Farmer vs. Kuntz, an action to re- cover balance of salary for services as brewer at the Saltford brewery, was, by consent, settled in favor of plain- tiff, judgment for $515 without costs being entered in his favor, Bruce vs. The Dominion Fish Co. was, by consent, postponed till the next assize court for Huron, making the third postponement of the trial. The action is for $1,000 damages for illness, blood poisoning claimed by plaintiff to have been caused by being lodged in a house infected with ver- min. Pigott vs. Riley et al, an action for damages for claimed breech of con- tract on a sub contract, and for injury to tools used in R. R, work,' was, by consent, adjourned to the next sitting of the court, Pigott vs., The Imperial Co., an ac- tion to . recover $331, interest and costs, claimed to be due for empty cement bags returned to the defen- dant Co, by plaintiff, was, by consent, postponed to the next non -jury sitting of the High Court of Justice for the county. The causes left for trial were Wil- kinson vs. The Grey Branch Agricul- tural Society, an action to recover $1,000 damages for illness and injuries, claimed to have been caused by fall- ing into a hole on the society's fair grounds in October, 1905. The Goderich Engine and Bicycle Co. vs. Menzies : The action was tried at this court in the spring, lasting over two days, at the conclusion of which Judge McGee, who presided, gave judgment for the Engine Co. for their full claim with costs, and for de- fendant for $400 for delay in delivery, without costs, the verdict for plain- tiffs being $4,950, with interest. The defendant appealed the case; it was sent up again for trial, and was com- menced at 3 p. m. on Tuesday, and closed at 12.30 on Wednesday, and as the defence, through Mr. Tilley, one of the counsel, having to leave town, the argument was adjourned till next Thursday at Toronto. oto. In the second trial all the evidence taken at the first went in, and for plaintiff Go., mana- ger Thomson, Durst and Inglis were re-examined, and president Clark was examined for the first time, one of the pleas for a new trial being that Mr. Clark, though in court at the first trial, was not called to give evidence. For the defence, four or five witnesses were examined. Wilkinson vs. The Grey Agricul- tural Society was not called, so the court closed, only the one cause hav- ing been tried. -Miss Nellie McLaren and Mrs. Noble Snaith were thrown from a buggy in a runaway accident at Salt - ford on the 3rd inst., and the former, alighting on her head, was very seri- ously hurt. Miss McLaren was taken to Mrs. Walters' residence and is re- ported to be doing as well as can be expected. -Here are a few interesting facts in connection with the vital statistics of Ontario for the last recorded year. There were 559 pairs of twins born and seven cases of triplets ; there were 1,107 more boys than girls born there are more births in May and less in November than in other months of the year ; considerably over half the persons married in the province were Methodists and Presbyterians ; the most marriages occur in June and the fewest in May. -Last Spring while Thos. Jackson was driving from Pickering to Whitby with his wife, his buggy was struck by an automobile. The horse died of fright, and Jackson and his wife were thrown out and hunt. The auto -dri- ver did not even stop. Suit was en- tered, and the case was about to come week when a to a trial at Whitby last v settlement was effected, Jackson re- ceiving $150 and all expenses. The total cost to the auto -driver is believed to have been $300. 'i Is Your Cold Better? No, it's as bad as ever. Nothing seems to help.

"I bad night sweats, chills and fever and frequent- ly coughed up pieces of my lungs. I was sinking fast and the doctors said there was no hope for me. Two months treat- ment of Psychine put me right on my feet and I have had no return of lung trouble since." If Mr. Mumford had started to take Psychine when he first caught cold he would have saved himself a lot of anxiety and suffering.
