Convincing Proof.

"A great many Houston people are
interested in the new method OF
STRENGTHENING cross eyes. which has
been so greatly agitated of late. but
sim there are always those who are
skepticai and who need to have
brick house fall on them before
they can be made to believe their
own eyes. DR.. Seymour has given
numerous references for the benefit
of those who are interested and
there are dozens OF children In
Houston who have had their eyes
Strengthened by his system and
who can be seen any day on tho
streets or by calling at their homes
"A great many people have read
OF and seen the children of Mr.
Henry Ii. kaufman, proprietor ~
the Star Bottling Works of this
city, and a prominent business
man, whose integrity and strairh,-
forwardness is too well known 10

most skeptical minds. His eldest

cross eyes by the use of glasses

who is also cross eyed, and who Is
under DR.. Seymour's care, bids fair
TO be completely cured also. as
MS eyes are quite straight when
he wears his glasses, which the
doctor made for him. Mr.. Kuhl-
man is very enthusiastic in his
praise of this method OF straight-
ening cross eyes and will take
pleasure in showing any one who
feels interested enough to call. the
wonderful change that has been
brought about in the condition of
his childrep's eyes"
A striking example of the marvel

Pleased His Visitor

i sometimes occurs 10 the minds
OF uneasy citizens when q famous
specialist comes within easy ac-
cess To visit him. not particularly
for treatment, but 10 have his un-
easiness allayed or dispclied.
An old and well known resident
OF Houston. the Hon. James r D.
Wilson. decided TO call upon Or.
Seymour and have hts eyes exana-
incd. About four years ago Mr..
Wilson had visited Dr. Knapp OF
New York and Dr. Chisholm OF
Baltimore to have an operation per-
formed. and chose the Baltimore
specialist, who Ia famous In his
science. DR.. Seymour made thpcx-
animation carefully and told Mr..
Wilson that his eyes were I'm good
Condition 10 he lo. alone" This
pleased Mr.. Wilson very much.
who. In reference to the visit, spoke
very Watering to his son, who
was with him. of tho great sim
ilarity between DR.. Chisholm and
Dr. Seymour in the manner In
which the diagnosis was conducted
--.skillfulIy and satisfactorily. He
said that Dr. Seymour's physical
movements, his use OF Instruments
and tests we're almost. II not quite,
the Same as those OF Or. Chisholm.
who gave him relief by a succcss-
full operation.
Thus we Ind Dr. Seymour not
only giving relief by the applIca-
ton Of his treatment OF the eyes
OF many. but by assuring the mn
easy and fearful that their eyes are
not In need OF treatment. but, as
IN this case, are I'm good condition
to be let alone
The Houston daily post. [volume] (Houston, Tex.) 1886-1903, 1899-03-19

In commenting on this particular case,
DR.. Seymour said that both eyes were de-
cidedly crossed and the child not only suf-
fered in this way, but her sight was so
deficient that she could not see to pick
up pin and was awkward in getting about
as she would stumble over objects that a
child with ordinary sight could plainly see
The glasses made by DR.. Seymour have not
only Strengthened her eyes. but have given
back the sight TO both eyes and she is a
much brighter and happier little one.

Or. w. l. Seymour. City:
Dear Doctor: We wish to thank you
for what you have done for our little
daughter May, whose eyes you have
Strengthened. Her eyes were straight when
she was born. but became crossed a f,w
years later, and have caused us a great
deal OF anxiety. We have often thought Of
having them Strengthened as they were
continually growing worse, but have
dreaded the thought of surgical opera
ton.
Through your wonderful system OF
glasses we can now say that her eyes are
perfectly straight. and it is with deepest
gratitude and heartfelt appreciation that
we add our testimony TO those of your
many other patients who have been so
fortunate as to receive the benefit Of your
skill Yours vcr, sincerely.

DR.. Seymour Is not a man who
follows his profession wholly for
money consideration and consid-
ering the wonderful results he OBJ
fains his professional charges are
extremely low. In fact he has
spent much valuable timo In free
consultations and will again give
this. privilege during the coming
week.
A his time here Is limited, his
business at home demanding his
return at an early date. he wishes
those who have delayed the matter
TO call at their earliest convenience
and make the arrangements neces.
sary for securing his services.
In this connection he would say
that patients will not be charged a
cent for brief consultation. a,
which time he will tell them what
the expense OF their work viii be
and Il small cash payment will be
all that will be necessary to secure
his services. tho doctor furnishes
all the glasses and this payment In
advance Is necessary 10 meet the
actual expense of the lenses and
frames.
Time will be given on the bai-
ance Of the amount due until par
feet results have been obtained and
the glasses have proven ali that
have been promised for them.
DR.. Seymour has been led To
make this statement from his three
months experience In this city.
during which time he has met huti-
dreds OF people who need his SER
vices but unless this arrangement
Is made for their benefit they will
be doomed to blindness in the flu
ture.
