ENABLED HIM TO TAKE UP HIS LIFE
Work
Is what the Rev. ". Edwin Thayef
says Doctor Matthez accomplished for
him by his scientific ekill and ability
in the adjustment Of glasses to his
eyes eight years ago. Many persons
In this community are personally ac-
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 eloquently in his
behalf than all that might otherwise
be written in his favor.
REV. ". EDWIN THAYERs LETTER,
GREENv1LLE, s. G., July l, 1896:
Dr.. LOUIS II. MArThEz,
Mansion House, City.
Dear Sir: Permit me to express
my gratitute for the service rendered
fne;by5 your smpst.valuable ability in
the sSientifc proper adjustment OF
glasses to my eyes. Up to and until
the age Of fifteen which, was the first
time I met you, [ 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 q
failure Our family physician, my
guardian at that time, DR.. II. D.. Bro
;ddie. d lof Charleston, then fortunately
took me to you in 1887. Afterre-
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 of my eyes to attain and com.
plete an education in my youth, and
to afterwards take up the pursuit OF
my life work, which otherwise | could
not have done. My reading has aver
aged six to eight hours daily, the
glasses proving all You promised, and
ALL could have desired for 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 well as the 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 ands preserving
their sight. Permitm again to ex-5
press: my profound thankfulness for
tho gfeat interest Sand care Whichssyou
have minifested in my case. - >
Yours very truly,
Rev. W. EDWIN THAYER,

The above letter from Rev. Mr..
Thayer who is now pastor at Ridge
Spring, .Edgefeld County, will be read
with much interest here where he is
also known and what he says is but
the evidence ofithousands5of DR.. Mat
thez' patients throughout the State.
DR.. Matthez needs no foreign endorse
ment, having already demonstrated,
practically, tothe 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.beenbrpught
to close, therefore, go seeshiIn at
once while you have the achance.

THIS Is TRUE. ag
More eyes are injured by the injudi-
cious! use Of glasses than arises from
any other known cause, and yet per-
sons Of intelligence in every other re-
r2ect will resort to haphazard methods
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 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-
