Seymour and Cox and tho fitting of proper glasses, I havo been very much relieved." In justice to Miss Peterson, wo would Bay, that this was not said for publica tion, but we havo taken tho liberty of publishing the statement, as sho has many personal friends here who will be pleased to learn of her Improved condition. St m Queensware, Tinware ttna Enameled ware In talking of the work dono by Dr. Seymour, Miss Josle Morrlsey, No. 2119 P street, speaks in tho following words: "One year ago last Aprlh I went from Lincoln to Omaha to consult Dr. Sey mour to havo my eyes treatod and fitted with glasses. I had consulted everj' eye specialist here in Lincoln, but failed to receive relief. After be ing treated so successfully by Dr. Sey mour, it gives me pleasure to say at the present time that I consider his work simply wonderful. Tho glasses havo practically cured my eyes. I can now read without them, If necessary, when before It was Impossible for me to use my eyes any length of time without glasses,. before receiving those fitted by him. I really cannot say enough in praise of his work." Tho following veiy complimentary statement comes from Mrs. S. A. North, No. 827 H Btreet. "Yes, DrB. Seymour and Cox are treating me. Dr. Soymour has made new glasses for me, and Dr. Cox. has been treating my ears. I have now been treating with them for two weeks, and am perfectly happy over tho wonderful Improvement that has been mado In my hearing. Beforo I could not hear ordinary conversation In tho room at all, although when any one stood closo to me I could hear them. After my second treatment Dr. Cox asked mo if I noticed any differ ence, and I was perfectly amazed, as I could hear every word ho Bald very distinctly, although ho was not speak ing In an unusual voice. I thought last night when I went homo I would watch myself and found that I could hear tho clock ticking and also tho conversation of those in tho room, something most remarkable to me, as my caao Is of twenty years' standing. I might odd that I simply consulted the doctors to ease my own conscience, as I had heard so much of their skill, but at the sarao time I had no faith In the fact that they could help me. I am extremely grateful for this mar velous Improvement, and I only hopo that my friends and acquaintances who knew of my affliction wH embrace this opportunity of consulting such suc cessful specialists if troubled with either defective sight or hearing." ja - 'SVW TSauls o SftmW awii 1 BmAu$ T&ama.

Many readers who are Interested in Dr. Seymour's wonderful success as an eye specialist will be pleased to know how he successfully conducts such a largo business, giving personal atten tion to all his patients, even though their numbers run Into thousands. Dr. Seymour lived for many years in Chicago beforo coming to Nebraska, and oven though he has returned to Chicago to live, he has In no wise neglected his Nebraska patients, as he has a permanent office and hospital In Omaha, which is constantly In charge of his assistant, one of the best quali fied eye, car, ncse and throat special ism In the west Tho doctor spends much of his tlmo in Omaha and his offices In the New York Life building present u busy scone whenever tho doctor makes appointments with his patlonts at that address. Dr. Seymour can in no wise be classed as a traveling specialist, u Mb recular trips through the state l braska requlro only a short period fall and spring, and are "ver a well estab lished route, paying regular visits to the same patients year after year. In fact, the doctor has not added a new town to his list for over Ave years. These regular trips enable hundreds of people to visit him who could not af ford the expense of going to Omaha for that purpose. Ho will be accompanied on his com ing trip by an EXPERT EAR, NOSE AND THROAT SPECIALIST, who will havo direct charge of all medical treat ments which aro supplied from tho Omaha office. The doctor especially requests that those wishing to visit him during his coming trip will drop hlra a card, room 307, N. Y.
