interesting statements made by Dr
Huston follow:
"The mince in the southeastern part

The discovery of the potash mince was

In Case any mine rune more than ten
per cent over this allotted amount, It

mission also fixes the price at which
the flnished product is to be sold
Another of their rulings Is that the
minimum foreign price must not be

DEFINING THE TERMS OPTOMETRIST, OPTICIAN AND OCULIST
The Optometrist is one who is skilled in examining the eyes and
fitting glasses for them. He is not necessarily a graduate of medicine
because he does not treat diseaded conditions.
An Optician is one who is skilled in grinding lenses.
An Oculist is one who is skilled in the treatment of diseases of the
eyes.
Many Oculists assume the work of the Optometrist and besides ex
amining the eyes for disease they examine them to prescribe glasses.
In this way the eyes are simply tested and glasses prescribed in a way
that can only be right by chance.
The Optometrist is traiaed to make a though and completeexam
ination and to prescribe glasses if required. eis also required to be
able to recognize diseased conditions so that when ,such are present he
can send the patient to an Oculist whose work is to treat those condi
tions.
Optometry is a separate and distinct profession; it deserves sepa
rate and distinct recognition and it is not the work of an Oculist or Op
titian.
Optometry is the scientific and drugless method of examining the
powers and visual condition of the eyes together with the strength and
power of their related muscles, giving the proper assistance, exercise or
lenses to overcome their defects.
Optometry is regulated by law as a distinct profession. It is not
taught in any Medical College in the United States, but the knowledge
of tt comes from experience.
If you are suffering from headache or eyestrain, come in and let
me give your eyes a thorough examination and, if necessary, fit you
with a Kee Lock mounting and Toric lenses.
