ENABLED HIM TO TAKE UP HIS LIFE
Work
Is what the Rev. ". Edwin 'Thayef
says Doctor Matthez accomplished for
him by his scientific skill and ability
in the adjustment Of glasses to his
eyes eight years ago. Many persons
In this community are personally &C.
quainted with the Rev. Mr.. Thayer
| who was recently welded to Miss
| Mauldin, and those who hre not will
remember the gentleman who 80 ably
occupied the pulpit Of the First Bap-
tist Church in Greenville last Sunday
morning. The communication needs
| no introduction, speaking, as it does,
| of DR.. Matthez more eloguently in his
behalf than all that might otherwise
be written in bis favor,

DR.. LOUIS II. MATFHEz,
Mansion~House, City:
Dear Sir: Permit me to express
my gratitute for the service rendered
me5bys your .mpssvaluable ability in
| the scientific. proper adjustment Of
glasses to my eyes. Up to and until
the age 0f fifteen which, was the first
time I met you, I was unable to read
longer than five or ten minutes at a
time, and at distance could not see
to recognize my most intimate friends
and my prospect for an education and
Of taking up my life work seemed
doomed to failure, for prior to con-
sulting you, my parents had taken me-
to New York where I was examined
By one Of the most noted oculists in
this country or in Europe, but moth
ing was done for me. I was then
taken to an oculist in Charleston
whose adjustment Of glasses proved a
failure Our family physician, my
1:guardian at that time, DR., r. L.: Bro
die, sof 81 Charleston, then fortunately
Istook Sme to you in 1887. After re-
| peated and thorough examinations l
was assured Of being enabled to see,
and my case was placed in your hands.
Words fail me to express all that you
have done for me, qualifying me in
the use oil my eyes to attain and COM
/ plete an education in my youth, and
to afterwards take up the pursuits OF
my life work, which otherwise l could
not have done. My reading has aver
aged six to eight hours daily, the
Eglasses proving all you promised, and
1alII could have desiredgfor close,pur-
pose. The glasses which you gave me
for seeing at distance have been of
untold benefit and pleasure, enabling
me to see equally as we'll as the aver, aver.
age man., The glasses adopted in 1887
have worn me well from then until
now, eight years; the workmanship on
frames and glasses are simply perfect,
as they were made for me. | again
place myself in your hands for adjust
ment, to find that my eyes have i'm
proved five and one-half degrees. l
have no hesitation in commencing to
your skill and judgment all those who
may desire thorough scientific skill in
helping them to see and preserving
their sight. Permit me again TO :ex-
press my iprofounds thankfulness. for
Eths great interest Sand care which you
haYes sminifested in my case. . y -
Yours very truly,
Rev. W. EDWIN THAYER,
516 Washington St.
The above letter from Rev. Mr..
Thayer who is now pastor at Ridge
! Spring, Edge6eld County, will be read
with much interest here where he is
also known and what he says. is but
the evidence ofthousands of DR.. Mat
thez's patients throughout the State.
DR.. Matthez needs no foreign endorse
ment, having already demonstrated,
practically, toithe people of Anderson
and Anderson County his wonderful
skill. The same opportunity which
you enjoy to-day Of consulting the
very highest authority in this country
concerning your eyes and glasses will
cost you additional time, labor, travel
and money to secure, when Dr,lMat-
thez' s visit here will have.beenbrought
to close, therefore, go seesMIp at
once while you have ;she achance.

THIS IS TRUE. .e
More eyes are injured by the injudi-
cions: use Of glasses than arises from
any other known cause, and yet per-
sons of intelligence in every other re-
spect willresort to haphazard methods
in their selection of glasses. Do not
put on glasses unless there is actual
need for them. When they are re-
quired, first have your eyes examined
by one who is thoroughly competent
in his profession, from which properly
ground glasses of the best material
will be set into frames to fit your face.
Follow such a course and you will
overcome defective vision and keep
your eyesight from failing further.
It is much cheaper as to money out
lay, and salvation of your seeing power
to consult highest authority at the be-
ginning.
