HIS ARRANGEMENTS NEARLY COMPLIED.
Or. Seymour VIII Meet Houston People In
q Few Days
At HIS OFFICES IN THE CAPITOL HoTt
A Reporter Calls and Inspects the
Marvellous Instruments for this
Work, which Comprises The
Finest that Are Made In
the World.

| DR.. Seymour was busy arranging his
instruments, lights, etc, for his work, but
we patiently waited until he could give
us few leisure moments and felt amply
repaid for our pains when we were invited
into his sanctuary and had the pleasure OF
conversing with him on the subject OF his
instruments.
Speaking or some OF the new Instruments
recently perfected for the examination oil
the Interior Of the Eye, he SAID: Few
people realize the Importance Of seien-
tifc instruments Cor examining re eyes.
or course instruments DO not maze a SCI
eEtifc specialist, out i'll things being
equal, 1t is always wise to seek the as
sistancC Of a man who mas ct least the
necessary apparatus for carrying on his
business In an intelligent and skillfui
manner. Yes, there have be IN great men
in this profession In 'he past, who have
had hut few of the scientific instfLments
for the work that we feel now we could
not get along without. This Inc OF sell
ence has received its share of attention
and the perfection that has zen attained
In some of our new appliances is little
short of marvellous.
1T has been, comparatively, but few
years since an examination of the Interior
troubles which did not yield readily TO
local applications or ordinary glasses were
pronounced by he ocullst as being incir-
able, and .here was nothing to do but
await the certain fate OF becoming blind,
which WAS the common lot Of a large num-
her of aged people. But II is differ ent
now; The interior OF the eye is made as
plainly visible by the Use OF .ne opthal
moacope as would be a brightly lighted
room were you peering IN from ibe out
side on Il dark night. There are COM
paratively few troubles If the eve that ID
not originate In some defect of vision,
which when aggravated BY lack OF atten-
ton, Is often strained until the condition
becomes chronic and Tho sight greatly In
paired and frequently lost. Tnese na,sefs,
taken In time and pr poorly assi,te ! BY tie
perfect adjustment of glasscs, could al
most invariably be righ.pi, and In msny
cases the glasses dispensed with utter
using them for a time.
Then you don't think because person
once commences the use OF glasses that 1t
is necessary for them to always com,bue
using then?'
NO. that is a mistake which a great
many people make and there is a great
deal of damage done by this false impress
sior. which doubtless originated ;,om the
fact that aged people seldom outgrow the
use of glasses, which is easily explained.
as 1t was their Age which brought them to
it, and every year adds to their dependence
on glasses as matter of course. 1t fs
very different with yoing peor!e and
children. The fact is that many persons
under 90 years az age whS attend 10 this
defect as soon as they become conscious
OF It, can dispense with the WEAVING Of
glasses at least part of tna time, cnd in
many instances effect a perfect cu'c. This
is nv principal reason fer Offering consul
tatiGn free to those who choose TO seek
H., for there are many, even among the
better educated ani mos. enlightened OF
the American people, who have ptt'heice
against glasses that is hard TO overcome
whereas IL they could but receive intelli-
gent advice on their condition they would
be very glad to take the necessary steps to
right any injury that their preju1ice may
have caused them
Too many people make the mistake
which has caused so much trouble and OBJ
lection to glasses, of thinking that buying
a pair Of spectacles is a simple matter.
Eyes can not be fitted as you fit pair of
gloves or shoes, as the ut OF the first pair
of lenses means great deal to you. This
lis particularly true In regard to children,
as an improper Mt may make them slaves
to glasses the remainder of tleir lives, |
while on the other hand proper treatment
would probably entirely reu,oSe some tenn
porary trouble, so that they would out |
grow all the bad effects of ha9ing strained
their eyes, and be able 70 dispense with |
glasses in after life
The doctor extends through The Post
an invitation to any ole hav'~- trol bic |

his stay.
This is an opportunity which. has never
