DOCTOR GRANT AND PROFESSOR WALLENBURG-,— Yesterday these gentlemen, the well-known Ooul;sts, Aurists, and Special ists, invited us to interview several patients on whom they had successfully used their skill since then* arrival. We had read the numerous descriptions iv many of our contemporaries of the wonderful cures effected by them, and therefore were scarcely surprised at personally witnessing the confirmation of these statements. Toe first man we saw was a laborer, Michael Ryan, living at Gerogery, who came to Albnry on the previous day, suffering from some disease of the eyes. He had been totally blind for three months. Dr G. and the Professor said they would cure him and they did so. The ulcers healed, and Ryan can now see wich both eyes. The next case was George Waite, of Cuinberoona, and thia has been a marvellous cure. According to his owo Words, he had been totally blind in one eye for 20 \ ears, and h d be«n uuder the treatment of Melbourne Doctors fa* the whole of tbat time, spendiug hundreds of pounds, and undergoing several operations. L' wo months ago he came to Dra G. and W.,' and he cau now see quite distinctly. The other eye had also a spot in it and tbat was likewise removed. Very little pda wa3 felt by Mr *v»ite. Aaother case was that of Mtss J. Jenkins, a youug girl whose sight was entirely gone iv botb eyes, aud her hearing almost gone. Tho blindness was incurable, as thty had burst, but hearing was partially restored in 24 hours. Another extraoi dmary care was effected in the case of R /bert Manning, the well-known brewer. tie had heen panially deaf siuce boynooi, and is now 47 years of age. To make him hear it. w«s necessary to bellow iuto his ears, but on Thursday he was treated, and yesterday he could hear the tick ngof a watch away from his right ear. These cures are facts, and, far fr->m beiug exaggerated, are nothing but the plain unvarnished trutu. We should strongly advise any person affl cted with either blindness or deafness to enmrace the opportunity of consult ing these gentlemen before cuey leave. — ' Bjrder Post.'
