Cross Eyes the Cause of Grief to Those Affected , DISTOETED EYES EXOITE BIDIOULE Dr. Seymour Tells How Much Pain and Mortification May Be Avoided By Wearing Properly Fitted Glasses. The usual feeling produced by seeing a pair of cross eyes is one of repulsion or pity. Anything imperfect or inhar monious is contrary to the sublime laws of nature , whose wondrous sys tem is one of perfect harmony and beauty. It is only man whose imper fections mar an otherwise perfect crea tion , and so strong is the antipathy in the human breast to anything distorted or disproportioned that it would seem to prove that he , too , was intended to manifest perfection in his bodily health as well as in all other ways. This in herent disgust for the deformed , which shows itself in pity , ridicule or sym pathy , as the case may be , is one which most of us feel when looking into eyes whose beauty has been marred , and whose expression changed by being crossed. Their owner secretly bears a heavy burden ; a consciousness of the deformity is ever present and throws a shadow over the sweetest and bright est disposition. This consciousness of defect robs life of half its joy , for it takes a brave heart indeed to face the world undaunted , weighed down by such an affliction as cross eyes. The knowledge that one is always subject to criticism , to ridicule , or what is worse , pity , overwhelms the unfor tunate with a sense of despair that those blessed with perfect eyes can never understand. We need to have all of our five senses unimpaired in order that we be properly equipped to fight the battle of life , aad one who is af flicted with cross eyes is handicapped at the very start by a burden which grows heavier as the years go on. It has not been many years since this trouble was considered incurable ; later on it was found that a partial cure , or at least an improvement in the ap pearance , could occasionally be made by a surgical operation , which any physician was at liberty to undertake so long as he was a graduate of medi cine. In this way many hundreds of eyes were hopelessly ruined , but sci ence in its onward march took up this question of such vital interest to so many , and after years of labor and re search , proved conclusively that cross eyes can be straightened by the aid of glasses alone , that there need be no more dangerous operations , and that glasses are the only scientific cure for this trouble. The eyes under this treatment quickly manifest improve ment. They regain their correct posi tion and the change in the expression is : often wonderful. The sinister , evil look < gives way to one of frankness and ieauty , and the joy of restored sight , is well as improved appearance , makes his : world a much brighter and hap- ier place than it was before . Dr. Seymour has devoted years to he treatment of cross eyes with * 'lasses and has met with marvelous \ mccess in every instance.

Seymour is Here for the Benefit of 6 Those Who Would Not Ti ust Their " S Eyes to Any But a Skilled Optician. ; ; There seems to be an impression mong many that the visit of Dr.V. . > Seymour of Omaha is a mere matter > f fitting glasses , but such is not the ase. Dr. Seymour does not appeal to o he simple cases of erroneous vision n hat can be corrected by ordinarj' tl lasses , which are usually sold by dea - rs , but to the more difficult and com- ii licated cases tnat have railed to de iirr lve any benefit from ordinary glasses. rr .s : a matter of fact , out of the nun- ii reds of patients who visit his office , 0 uring his stay in a city , there are ) Dmparatively few who nave not had 3me unfor'unate experience in trying Tt ] make cheap glasses answer their urpose and i ailing to get relief , have sught the Assistance of one who is commended to them in the highest jrms by people whose word they can- m ot doubt. have si They paid dearly for icir folly and have no more money to tl aste in this way.

HOW DE , SEYMOUB VIEWS SUBJECT Employers Apt to Be Thoughtless People ple Taking Better Cure of Their Eyes Nowadays. Every one knows in general way that spectacles are worn to assist the sight , and there is a large number that know nothing more than that they help the aged to see to read and the near sighted to see at a distance. The preju dice against glasses has , on the "one hand , acted to deter persons from wear ing glasses who really need them , and , on the other hand , has acted to influ ence employerg to decline to engage applicants for work who are wearing spectacles. It is hardly possible in these few lines to attempt to combat these preju dices 'or to present arguments sufficient to prove their fallacy. The first one is so unreasonable that no sensible person in this enlightened day would be rash enough to advise people who have defective sight not to wear glasses , nor would these people be ioolish enough to listen to such ad- vice. While in regard to the second prejudice mentioned employers are soon and easily convinced that the man who notices his sight Is failing and promptly uses -the means at 'his com mand to restore it is the more wide awake and capable workman and does better service than the careless person who fails to notice his impaired sight , or if he does , takes no interest or makes no effort to restore it. The truth of the matter is that in the hands of a skillful oculist and optician there is no means at the present time which will correct so many eye troubles , such as nervous headache , squinting , cross- eyes and restore good sight as suitable lenses in all their various combina tion , and people have not been slow to find t'.iis out a"d R"t in accordance. Ths ccriiiTion Ignorance in regard to glasses a d their use has given many the idea that persons can choose their own glasses. But the fallacy of sup posing that the glasses that seem the plsasantest for a few moments are apt to prove the correct ones for constant e use is not sc , general 33 formerly. Not t every qne suffers from su.ch a course , r and yet the great number that do n makes it s ifer and advisable , in order to avo'.d any risk , to have their eyes thoroughly examined by a competent optician , even in simple cases. Experience has taught the public much in this matter ( of the importance of proper glasses ) , but there are still m many persons who would decidedly ob ject to ill-fitting , ready-made clothing , who still do not hesitate in the in ? ciH finitely more -important a.nd delicate H matter of s'ght , who will still follow d up the advertisements of spectacle ai dealers and go into a store to have a pair of glasses fitted without thinking af the danger of thus treating an organ whose mechanism is ot the most deli cate nature and whose use is almost as valuable as life itself. You would not trK think of go'ng to a prescription clerk trF : ind asking Iv'm to prescribe for you in F ase of sickness. How much less , then , C. ! should you think of trusting your oyea in to a mechanic or salesman . who may know absolutely nothing of the anat- jmy , physiology or pathology of the F jye or the detrimental effect of glasses Itted to the temporary conditions of sight which are found by the simple Cleans of trying different lenses until he customer has found what they hmk will do. People who wear glasses A. should have their eyes examined by an , A.K ptician who understands their anat- my and condition from a medical K ! rtfmdpoint. These examinations ca.n Ti nly be made in properly appointed oems , nd with lights arranged for th .his purpose. Do not fail to have your eyes exam- cl ned by Dr. Seymour during his visit cr n this city , as his collection of instru- nents for this work includes the latest improvements known to the science of tn iptics. ve R.
