degree, the great good that is accomplished
in the world by men who cast aside tho

God has blessed them
While DR.. Seymour does not wish to
be quoted as a man who lives purely for
philanthropical pursuits, still II is hardly
justice TO mis- efforts and ability to put 1t
In any other light. He comes to our city,
after Visiting many large cities in the
country, with n name already established
among the highest of his profession, hay
Ing been educated in the best schools OF
optics In the world. He has. from his first
entrance into his profession, devoted his
whole time to his chosen work. and
through the great and varied experience
TO be obtained by a man of his ability, he
has succeeded in establishing facts which
will be blessing to mankind for all time
to come.
He is the first optician, either in this
country or Europe, who has thoroughly
demonstrated and proved to the minds OF
skeptical public and, perhaps. even moro
skeDtical professional men, the fact that
cross eyes IN almost every instance can be
perfectly Strengthened without the use Of
the surgeon Is knife.
He has hundreds OF letters from people
who have proved the truth OF his asset
tons by their own experience. and in con-
verSation with him one can not doubt his
statements for a moment when he de-
clares that cross eyes, with scarcely m
exception. are due to defects In sight
which can only be successfully treated In
an enlightened manner, reaching the cause
of the defect in order to secure the re-
suits.
Newspapers all over the country have
extended DIR. Seymour co,irtesies in behalf
of the cross-eyed children in the commu-
nifty. He Is not travelling oculist, as
and has spent many years in the practice
of his profession in that city, and Is called
to cities all over the United States by
school authorities who are making inves-
tigation as to sight In their schools.
Dr. Seymour possesses the finest nstr,i-
ments in existence and the eye Is tested
Just MS accurately as the thermometer in
dicates the heat OF the sun. It's power Is
weighed and its radiation measured SO
infinitely that the glasses restore the eye
to its normal condition and reading and
close work of any kind becomes n painless
pleasure.
The public schould be satisfied with the
splendid array OF testimony procured from
unquestioned sources, and all who suffer
from infirmity of sight may he assured OF
the ablest scientific skill at the hands OF
DR.. Seymour.
