WHO DR.SEYMOUR iS.
_ _
Sketch of His Career and Pro
fessional Work In Omaha.
OBJECT OF HIS VDIT TO THIS CITY.
i > r. beviuour'ii Skill Ohlainml by Years
of Experience In Au Unlimited
Field of Practice.
Having been located in Omaha for
nearly a decade , it is quite natural
that Dr. Seymour's skill as an eye
specialist should be a subject of in
terest to those who properly value the
most precious of their senses , as
there is probably no one who is free
from the possible necessity of , sooner
or later , employing the services of an
optician. The following facts may beef
of interest to those who contemplate
calling on him during his visit to this
city.
city.While
While still a young man , Dr. Sey
mour has been actively interested in
this work for the past fifteen years ,
; having begun as an assistant in the
office of Chicago's noted specialist ,
Dr. M. N. Martin , P. C. M. D. He
graduated at the Northwestern uni
versity and afterwards completed his
work by taking a post graduate course
at the Chicago Opthalmic college. Un
like many eye specialists , Dr. Sey
mour has confined his work to the
science of refraction , or , in other
words , to the treatment of all defects
of sight by the scientific use of lenses.
Omaha has other specialists equally
if not better known to the older people
ple in his state , but there is little
doubt that the leading physicians of
Omaha universally acknowledge the
superior methods employed by Dr.
Sfiymour in his work , as will be no
ticed by the number of personal let
ters which have been given him for
publication by physicians who are
known throughout the state as being
Omaha's foremost.
The question may naturally arise in
your mind as to how Dr. Seymour
ran afford to spend time from his
Omaha business to visit other cities ,
a-ul finds its answer in the plain
statement that a man who confines his
work to a single specialty soon has a
reputation based on the merits of his
skill and he is not limited to a small
field. Dr. Seymour is personally
known to a number of our best pee
pie and is known by reputation to
hundreds who have had reason to be
come interested in eye specialists.
Ma'iy of these people do not realize
their condition and therefore do not
feel it necessary to take expensive
stepr. to ascertain the nature of their
defect. They may have called on many
specialists and have been pronounced
beyond help , and it is this class of
people that Dr. Seymour is par
ticularly anxious to meet on this trip ,
as he has proven many times that
people who have given up all hope , by
continually meeting with disappoint
ment , have afterwards had their sight
restored , after many years of prac
tical blindness.
Every good thing has its imitators
and because you have made a mistake
by calling on some incompetent person
in the past , you should not be dis
couraged , as Dr. Seymour does not
ask you for one cent until he has dem
onstrated his ability to assist you.
This offer is a most liberal one and
could not be made by any one who was
not competent to substantiate all
claims made for his skill.
DR. SEYMOUR'S OPINION OF GLASSES.
Four People In Ten Have Defective Eye-
HJght and Do Not Know It.
"About 40 per cent of the people
need to wear glasses nowadays , " said
Dr. Seymour in speaking of eyes.
"But , of course , not all these people
wear them. Four people in ten have
some trouble with their eyes. It may
be nearsightedness , it may be simple
weakness , it may be an inequality be
tween the eyes. But whatever it is
there is a way to help it with glasses.
A great many people have trouble
with their eyes and do not know what
it is. They attribute it to overwork
of the eye sometimes , and sometimes
lay it to headache or neuralgia , while
it is merely the protest of a defective
eye that has been forced by will power
to do work beyond its strength or to
keep up with the other eye.
"The troubles commonest with chil
dren and young people are myopia ,
or near sight , and hyperopia , or far
sightedness , and the latter predom
inates. But many are farsighted who
are not conscious of it , and hence the
trouble is seemingly less common than
nearsightednesa , which is made ap
parent by the person so afflicted en
deavoring to overcome the defect by
holding the object close to the eye.
"The question is often asked , what
is the cause of so many young people
ple wearing glasses ? Many unjustly
claim it is for style without stopping
to think of the increased strain upon
the eyes of young people of today com
pared with forty or fifty years ago.
We are living a progressive age and
what was considered a fair education
then would not meet the require
ments of the times today. Our schools
have a wider range of studies , many
of the students taking up a special
course in stenography , telegraphy ,
typewriting , etc. , causing much stuiy
at night by artificial light ,
To Those tt'ith I'oor Ey. * .
Dr. W. I. Seymour , the Omaha optic
ian , will pay a short visit to this city
and will be pleased to see all those
who have trouble with their eyes. Dr.
Seymour is a graduate of one of the
beet ophthalmic colleges in the coun
try and comes highly recommended
by all the physicians in Omaha , as
tvell as by our home physicians.

WHYWEHJED TWO EYES
If This Question Were Put to
You What Would You Reply ?
THESE IS A SCIENTIFIC ANSWER ,
AB Given by Dr.V. . 1. Seymour ,
Noted Eye Specialist.
If this Question were put to you :
"Why do we need two eyes ? " you
would very likely answer the query by
saying , "Vvrhy do we need two arms or
two ears ? " But this is not the proper
answer to the question. Two eyes mated
are absolutely necessary to obtain per-
j feet sight. Perhaps you nave heard it
said that people having one eye could
see better than those with two. Pos
sibly that would seem so to people wuo
have observed the quickness with
which a one-eyed person perceived the
movement of objects , and the fact that
they do not seem to miss anything that
their neighbors see. But , notwithstand
ing , the one-eyed person has much to
regret , although he may be the only
one conscious of his loss.
For example , a one eyed man cannot
read.ly hook his cane through a ring
over his head , for his one eye does not
tell him how far the ring is , and he
has to feel around for it until he finds
it. A man with two eyes does not have
the slightest difficulty. For it is a well
establ.s ed , philosophical fact that for
objects to seem solid we must have two
eyes.
eyes.Another
Another illustration as to the im
portance of having two perfect eyes for
correctly measuring distances will be
fcuml interesting , a3 well as amiis.n ? ,
as follows : Place your hand tightly
over one eye ; take a pencil in your
oilier hand , holding it in a vertical
position , point down. Drop your hand
to your side , then reach out , arm's
length , and try to place the point of
the pencil quickly on a small object ,
bringing your hand straight uown
from above. This will be the more in
teresting by having a friend designate
what object you shall touch with the
pencil , ea h time selecting a different
point o d ance. You w.ll find it is
almost impossible to accomplish this ,
providing you do not hesitate or feel
your v ay in tryir-j to reach the object.
When we look at the world with only
one eye op. n , the whole scene appears
to be flat. We know , of course , that it
isn't flat , but to the eye all things ap
pear to be 'about on the same surface.
The views that reach the two eyes are
slightly different , as any one can prove
to himself by opening and closing the
eyes alternately. This is what makes
us see the real world as solid. Now , if
we want any picture to appear as solid ,
we mui't see it from slightly different
points of view , each eye forming a sep
arate and distinct image , which gives
the round and full effect necessary to
make objects stand out in bold relief.
The loss of an eye cannot be com
pared in any way to the loss of an ear
or a limb , for in this case certain
things can be accomplished as well
with one as with two. But in the
event of a loss of an eye , a person is
for all time crippled. And the anxiety
usually telt by a person blind in one
eye to preserve and care for the good
eye is something pathetic. And still
we cannot wonder , for it seems to be
the general sentiment that people
would rather give up their lives than
their sight. And it certainly stands
people in hand who are even conscious
of the slightest difference in the sight
of the tw'o eyes to give this matter seri
ous consideration. For slight defects
neglected often become serious before
a person is really conscious of it. I
wish to add here a few words in behalf
of the children , for errors in their
sight are so much easier corrected in
early life than when they are neglected
until maturity is reached.
