Miss Emma Peterson, another young
Jady, was seen in Dr. Seymour's offlco,
and in talking of tho matter of hor
eyes to a friend, expressed herself as
tallows:
"It has been very hard for mo to
consent to the wearing of glasses, and
only after being advised by my pro
fessor, Mr. Menzendorf, to take a sen
Bible view of it. could I bring myself
to this point My left eye was con
tinually watering, but through the
treatment of Dra. 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.

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."

THE GREAT JOKE, DEAT.H?i
Fanny Side of tJrlnsr Often Treated!
of In Literature
"Death," said a publisher, "hns bcti
treated humorously In our literature,
often. Indeed I mil qulto sure that;
collection of many thick volumes ml gift
bo nmde under tho title of 'Dcntlija
Funny Side.' Thomas Hood was one,
of our best writers of this sort ,
verso. Don't you remember his bnllaft
on tho young sailor who died heart
broken over his girl's unfulth? Tko
last stanza vub;
"His death, which happened In his berth,
At forty odd befall.
They went and told the sexton, nnd
Tho sexton tolled tho bell.
"Ilootl did another bnllnd on tho sub
Jcct of n soldier who lost both legs in
bnttle, who was in consequonco jllteS
by his sweetheart nnd who then hungi
himself. Now, that Is rather tragic, to
it not? It hns n bizarre but none the!
less polgnnnt trnglc note. Guy s
Maupassant indeed once handled al-t
most this eamo situation, but ho bxtt-
died It from tho opposite vlewpaML
and don't you remember how ho uar
rated thu flral, the cruclnl, meeting S;
tho lovers after Den Duttlo's donbfe
amputation?
"Dut when he called on Nolllo Gray
Sho mndo lilm qulto a scoff,
And when sho saw hts wooden leirs
Began to taka them off.
"This treatment drove Ben to de
spair: "So round his melancholy neck
A rope he did entwine
And for tho second tlmo in llfo
Unlisted in tho line.
"And there ho hung till ho was dead I
As any null in town:
For, though despair had cut htm up,
It could not cut htm down.
"There is a tromendous literature oft,
humorous epitaphs. Thcro must bo, lEj
fancy, 10,000 of these, but two of lliak
arc nil I can recall. Tho first goes:
"Horo lies tho body of mild Maria;
Bho went ono day to start tho fire,
Dut the wood was green,
80 sho used kerosene.
And now sho's where tho fuel Is drier,
"Tho other Is grimmer: 4
"Life is a He, nnd all things show It;
I thought so once, and now I know U.
"Then thero aro songs on tho side
splitting aspects of death, somo et
which havo caused tender hearted la
dles to double up with mirth. 'Johni
Jones nnd Ills Sister Sue' is ono sum
song, nnd I bet that six peoplo out t
ten lti Aruoricn know it by heart

pertaining to eye, ear, noso or throat
The doctors aro permanently located
In Omaha, which has been Dr. Sey
mour's homo for many years, and those
wishing to consult them on their corn-
requested
write a
postal card to Dr. Seymour, giving
their name and address and a special
appointment will bo made them with
out oxtra charge. Adrdess 307 New

REMEMBER THE DATE OF THEIR
VISIT AT THIS POINT, AS SEEN IN
LOCALS IN THE PAPERS.
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. Llfo Dldg., Omuha, as his
time will bo very fully occupied, and
by so doing patients can receive special
