Arment, Medical Inspector for Columbia County, explains itself: Philadelphia, Jan. 11, 1902. Dr. S. B. Arment, Bloomsburg, Pa. Deaf Doctor: Replying to your letter of inquny, I would say that the law requiring children to present a certificate of successful vaccination before being admitted to school, takes the precedent of the truant law; first, because it was passed after the truant law, and ' condly, because the courts have so decided.

A very little change on position will often throw them entirely out of focus. A serious strain upon the eyes is the result. Lenses should always be so adjusted that the eyes look exactly through their centers. Many a good pair of glasses give bad results because they are slightly bent out of shape. Just a touch would right them. I will straighten glasses free of charge for any person, at any time. If the joints need tightening I will also kttend to that. Bring them in as often as you like.
