Dear Sir I have your favor of yes
terday regarding the condition of my
eyes since my late visit to your city
and to your office I desire to state
that I have not been examined by nor
received treatment from any person
for the ailment and on the whole con
sider that notwithstanding the fact of
the great amount of work done since
there that there is a general improve
ment und honestly think that if I had
properly adjusted glasses that my eyes
would regain their strength
I desire again to thank you for the
interest that you have manifested and
will at an early day call upon you
with full confidence in your ability to
give me more light Tours truly

benefit you have been to my little
girls particularly the younger one
who has found school work very hard
and in fact almost impossible Since
you have been treating her with glass
es her sight has notably improved and
we are very grateful to know that this
simple remedy will be the m ns of
helping her so much to gain an educa
tion whwich seemed rather doubtful to
us before learning the real nature of
the trouble as she had such difficulty
in reading that we feared there might
be something else the matter but have
learned since meeting you that it was
altogether owing to her poor sight
that she made such slow progress in
her hool work Thanking you again

which does away with a very painful
operation and attending danger and
is certainly to be desired rather than
the old fashioned way of opening
the eyeball and removing the lens
which then leaves it an imperfect or
gan and only a small per cent of
these cases are successful A great
deal has been said about this and the
methods employed by Drs Seymour
and Cox have been questioned by
doctors in the west Having a large
number of these patients whom we
are successfully treating at the pres
ent time some letters from them
should certainly be appreciated as be
ing genuine as the parties can be
seen at any time in their offices or
at their homes The first one used
is indeed valuable as the improve

Dear Doctors When I came to you
with my friend Mr Anderson
the shoe man at 1236 O street
of this city I was contem
plating a trip to Chicago to have my
eyes operated on Knowing that I was
totally blind in the right eye and that
my left eye was beginning to fail I
knew it would only be a short time-until
I would be totally blind It gives
me great pleasure to say that after
four weeks treatment I can now count
your fingers readily when held before
my right eye and my left eye is indeed
very much improved While the treat
ment is slightly painful it is a thou
sand times better than having the eye
ball opened and I heartily indorse
your method of restoring sight without
an operation Thanking you for what
you have done for me and feeling that
continued treatment will entirely re
store my sight I am yours very truly

to becoming totally blind before I
could be operated on as every special

greatly improved and my blind eye is

satisfactory I have had a great deal
of trouble for years and have tried in
vain to get relief but until meeting
you have never been successful Al
low me to thank you most heartily for
your assistance and I shall be pleased
to recommend you to my friends At
times life has hardly seemed worth liv

fered with my eyes and in fact there
was nothing in the world I so longed
for as relief from my suffering My
eyes have never looked badly and my
friends could not understand why I
should suffer so I have employed the
assistance of many eye specialists but
all have failed I am now so much
Improved that I can read and write to
a moderate degree and your assur
ance that I shall be able to dispense
with glasses wholly or in part gives
me the greatest of pleasure I find
that I can already go about without
glasses while I have been absolutely
obliged to wear them heretofore and
even then have suffered greatly My
husband joins me in thanking you as
my general health has been much im

PTERYGIUM REMOVED WITH
OUT THE KNIFE
Pterygium are often pronounced
even by physicians to be cataracts
and when fully developed are even
worse asthey are apt to cover the
eye and when removed leave it so
badly scarred that perfect sight can
seldom be obtained afterwards In
their incipiency or early growth the
treatment heretofore has been ito
either ligate them which consisted
of tying thread around them and al
lowing them to come off dr cut them
off with a pair of scissors Dr Seyr
mour has been able to perfect many
cures by the use of glasses alone
and the treatment of the following
patients consisted purely of glasses
and painless medical applications

Dear Dr Seymour I have been
treating with you now since January
and feel that my eyes have been very
much benefited 3oth my daughter
and myself who are troubled with a
scum growing over our eyes which is
prouounced by the doctors as ptery
gium feel that your treatment is cer
tainly wonderful as we have improved
so much particularly my daughter
Mrs Albee who had her eyes operated
upon recently by an eye surgeon
which only seemed to make them
worse besides causing her a great deal
of suffering from the operation
The growths have almost entirely
disappeared and there has not been
the slightest pain in connection with
the treatment As for myself my fore
head and the upper ight side of my
head was very sore and painful when
touched but is entirely relieved and
as you know I am very grateful for
the benefit you have been to me
Tou have asked us for this reference
that others troubled in this way who
have been skeptical as to your reliev
ing such growths without an operation
might come and ask us our experi
ence While we do not enjoy the pub
licity Of our names being used in the
paper still we feel that if we can help
others who have suffered as we have
at the hands of incompetent unskilled
eye specialists we will be only too glad
to tell anyone who comes to us how
firmly we believe in your superior
methods Thanking you for the great
benefit you have been to us and wish
ing you abundant success I am yours

Dear Dr Seymour It is a great
source of comfort and satisfaction to
me to have regained my eye sight by
the use of proper glasses I did not
realize until my attention was called
to it that my eyes had failed me so
in the past few years but was fully
aware that something serious was the
matter with them as they gave me
great pain Tou have treated my eyes
and given me glasses that I can use
beautifully at a long distance and also
write and sew with the same lenses I
hope that my friends and acquaint

their eyes will not fail to see you while
there is an opportunity Thanking you

you for the great help you have been
to my little daughter Maggie who suf
fered so much from headaches and
found school work very difficult on ac
count of her eyes being continually
sore and in fact could not see as other
children Since you have treated her
and made her a pair of glasses she is
greatly benefited and is getting along
very much better in her studies Her
headaches are entirely gone and we
feel that we indeed have much to be
thankful for and are very grateful to
you for your skill Some of our friends
have said the price we paid seemed
rather high for glasses but we take a
more sensible view of the matter as
we know you could not afford to fur
nish glasses for the same price we
could buy common spectacles for and
feel that what we paid you was for
your knowledge and skill and that it
was the best investment we ever made
If more people thought enough of their
eyes to look more carefully irito the
matter It would be a great saving of
both money and sight Tours Very

W I Seymour 1219 K st City
Dear Doctor Seymour I was one of
the many people who were skeptical
and opposed to treating with any one I
had not known for many years but
the prevailing sentiment in your favor
and personal acquaintance with many
people whom you had so greatly bene
fited finally Induced me to come to
you for treatment for my little daugh
ter and myself and I wish to thank
you for the great help you have been
to her eyes We had both been fitted
with glasses but did not realize that
they were only giving us very slight
benefit as compared with what good
glasses might do when properly fitted
I had been to a noted oculist and paid
a fancy price and must admit that the
glasses helped me but have since
realized that they were only a step in
the right direction From the first
treatment you gave us we have been
greatly benefited As for myself I
think it marvelous that glasses can
contain such wonderful strengthening
and healing power when properly made
and fitted I also want to add my
strong commendation for the benefit
I have received from the hands of Dr
W Calvert Cox in the treatment of
my ear nose and throat trouble I have
not felt so well in years and before
coming to you believed that I had al
most a hopeless case as I did not
know what it was to enjoy a moments
peace or draw a long breath in com
fort Doctor some people have said to
me that I paid too much but as I said
to you on my second visit I would not
take the 50 I gave1 you back for the
good done in two visits and I think it
Is the best money I ever spent in my
life I am certainly getting much bet
ter and I thanlc you from the bottom
of my heart for the scientific knowl
edge which has given you ability to
gave me such wonderful relief My

great improvement in my condition
