Wilmington, N. C,
May 15tb, 1896.
Having implicit confidence in the
Rev. E, A, Ofborne's character and
judgment, I can safely endorse any
one whom he commends. After a
personal interview with Dr. Matthez
and an examination ot his testimoni
als, I take pleasure in Introducing
him to the Wilmington public.
Robert SrawrK,
Rector St. James
Dr. Matthez also brings ith him
to Winston-Salem letters of highest
commendation as to his wonderful
skill and ability in the adjustment
of glasses to the eyes, as well as
personal letters of introduction. Dr.
Matthez' field of labor is usually .
confined to large cities hence it is
that seldom if ever does one of the
same attainments as Dr. Matthez
visit cities of this size, his presence
here, therefore, offers a most valua
ble opportunity to those who want
the highest service to be given in
his branch .
The above letters speak for them
selves. The following oommunioB'
tion from a distinguished gentleman
in this community, Rev. J. P. George,
Rector St. Paul 's, spaks more' highly
in Dr. Matthez' behalf than all that
we could write, and is indeed a most
valuable tribute to merited skill, and
we would advise those needing ad
jastment of glasses to see Dr.
Matthez.
The Letter.
Dr. Louis H. Matthez,
My Dear Sir: Permit me to add
this testimonial to the many which
you possess in commenda'iontoyour

many eminent names, you bring let
ters from friends, personally known
to me, such as the Rev. Robert
Strange, D. D., of Wilmington; Rev.
E. A. Osborne. Charlotte; Bishop
Capers, South Carolina. I congrat
ulate you especially upon your se
curing the regard of the medical
faculty of Winston-Salem. I myself
have consulted oculists distinguish
ed in their profession, and I am free
to say that my eyes have never un
dergone such a thorough and pains
taking and skillful examination as
you have given them. I feel that
you have done me an invaluable ser
v.ce. I am, dear sir,
Very respectfully,
J. F, Gsorok.
