Flindness and Dbafness. —By the kind in-vira-ioii of Professor W»lle»burg and L'r Grant, the Ed tor <•{ this jouru.il, in compauy wih the Editor of the 'Saturday Advertiser,' visited their consulting-rooms, an the Criterion Hotel, yesterday morning The first cate shown w 8 that of a Miss White, aged eleven years, the daughter of a settler at < amaru, who hns bten totally blind for year*. This young lady has been under the treatment of these clever oculists for three day*, and, wondeiful to say, her eyesight has been perfectly restored Th •• father of the girl assured u* tha<. he had paced her under ihe care <f several medical men, who had failed t> do h>r any go d, despite the m-ney that he lavished up n hfr. The next was the case of a Miss Hugh' s, a Dunedin resident, who stated that she been deaf for a period of over three years. Strange to sty, she has only been under treatment for eight days, arid her hearing has been fully re.st.red This fortunate girl is nearly in ecstacies over her good fortune. The next subject under treatment was a laborer named Patrick Francis, working at Logan's Point, who informed u> that latterly li-* was struck in the right eye with a sfcono. by which he lout hi* sight, and of late hn left eye has been materially ail\cted by the blind one ; but, thu.ks to the skill < f Professor Wallenbu -v, ho has now r.-coveied the sight of his two eyes, and is abb; to discern tue smallest piint, 1-te-nvum Schu tz, (f Hyde, wa< the lastpttio- t intixiuctd lit stated that he had been totally deaf for years, and that he had only been undei treatment for * few days, and now he could hear p aiuly. The gentlemen have numor-n* other c:nes undi-r treatment The case* tha*. we have ins'a ced should be sufficient to remove any doubt from the most sceptical. All the patient* that are now under treatment hav* r.eui tampered with by the medical profession with no sa'i-factjry result, an.l this in the major portion of the cwei causes more aggravation, and makes effectual cure more difficult. The above ca*es clearl<• illu trate that Dr Grant and Professor Wadeuburg a e, without doubt, what they profess td h--—Cculbts, Auiisti, and Specialists.

' Grafton Argus.'—Blindness and "We can no* i»p»ak positively as to the skill of Dr Grant and Professor Wallenburg. Yesterday afternoon we b;vw two c.* es under treatment in which a cure is certain The first was that of a man named Henry Cullerne mfferiug from deafness and heavy ulceration in bcth ears for a period of nine years. Ho has been treated orly throe days, the ulceration has healed, the disoh»rae from the ears stomi ed, and the man's hearing improved i'i s, wonderful degree. "We have seen the m:*n under treatment, and have thes:* particulars from his own lips. In the second c>\se equally good results have been achieved. A young man (■ Albury) & bushman, came into Grafton intendirg tn i roceed to Sydney for treatment for almost total blindness, but as in the fiiat case-, he saw Dr Grunt and Professor Wal euburg's adveitise meat, and decided to give them a trial. Sine*, his birth he Ims been completely blind in his left eye, and the Doctor and Professor at once told him nothing could be done for that. The right eye has been nearly blind for twelve years ; as Albury described it, it appeared as if a leaf of a tree fell acr -ps the sight. In fact, au oj acity had covered the eye, and the eyelid had ] early cles• d. He has been four days und r treatment, ad is tow able to raise the evelid to the fullct extent in the strongest light, and yesterday could see the strokes C a pen made on taper, at a distance of fully 18in, as also a single hair—and this in a partially darkened room Excepting a slight weakness consequent npor. the severe treatment the eye lias undergone, the sight is now restored t.» its natural state. Albury sneaks in very grateful teTin' of the good the e gentlemen have done i im, wnd in a short time will be f jIIj cured. Such instances as these cannot be spoken of as luck, and clearly demonstrate that Dr Grant and Pr fessor Wallcnburg are fully competent to carry out what they profess. During our vl it several other patients were under treatmc t, in all of wr on a partial, «f no a perfect cure will be effected." 'Capricornian,' Rockhampton. " It is nor surpri-iig that, asDr Grant's and Professor Wallenburg's skill as occulists, auri-ts, and specialists becomes more widely known, their practice becomes greatly extended. From many sources the evidence is increasing of the cures they have effected even during the very short time they have been in Rockhampton. In order to make further inquiries into the case previously reported, as well as to note any features of interest regarding new patients, Yre morning visited Dr Grant and Professor Wa'loßburg't Consulting Rooms, in East street. On entering the room Mrs Lewis, of Georpe street, a patient who was previously •mentioned as having been six years almost totally blind, was leaving This woman has been completely cured for nearly a fortnight, but at the request of the Doctor and Professor returned that they might see how her eyes were continuing. T' e eyes were perfectly clear, the sight as fully rebtored as ever it whs, and to those who had seen them a month a?o the change was equally astonishing and gratifying. Miss Elizabeth Madden, who was also previously a'luded to as being obliged to give up her occupation of dressmaking, is fully restored to her sight, ard the patches of white which darkened her pupils are completely removed. James Pa coe, an o'd rerident of the town has not been able to sea in the right eye for fifteen years, having lost the sight of it through cold and inflammation contracted during the first flood in Rockhampton. After five or six vi-its to Dr Grant and Professor Wallcnburg the si.aht in this eye has bee-a restored. This mat's wife, Parah Pa»coe, has been totally bbnd in the right eye for ten mo'.ths, and the sight was almost gone in the other, being able to see only at the one # side. This eye i.; now almost well, and on closing it and lodV.i eg with the eye formerly blind she could see the water in the river. William Brew £ has hren totally deaf in the right ear for the past six years. Ho has been onlj a few times iw-der treatment and could hear the ticking of a watch at the distance of a foot from the ear. Charles Clayton, a carpenter, formerly woiking at Blaekall and on the Barco, got cold in the eyes by fritting in a draught The result was total loss of sight nine months ago, during which time has been trying one medical man aftor another in vain. When he camo to Drs Grant and Wallenburg his oyes were in a frightful condition, and it ia a wonder the man retained his reason through his terrible sufferings, lie has been about twelve days under treatment, and in a darkened room he can see perfectly well. Gust v Ernst, a cabinet - makers' apprentice in the employment of Mr M'Kenny, upholster, received an iojury to hh left eye when only one year old, by a whirlwind carrying a piece of stick against it. The eye had been totally useless since, but Drs G. and W. have restored the sight. Cases might be multiplied indefinitely, but these, all of which we have seen, should be sufficient to remove doubt from the most sceptical. It Bhould be remembered, too, that nearly rll the patients who come to f r Grant and the Professor have been under unsuceessful treatment elsewhere, which in most ca*eß aggravates the original symptoms and renderi the cure more difficult. Any persons afflicted with loss of sight or hearing should give these gentlemen a trial. If they are incurable thty will at once be told so; but if it is in the power of professional skill' built up by long study and thirty years'experience, we have every confidence that these gentlemen will give invaluable relief."

DR. GRANT, FCLECTICAL SCIENTIC SURGEON, U also Medical Specialist in the Diseases of Women and Children. " Booan River. "lam only too happy to bear testimony to the Immense benefit I have received from Dr Grant. I had suffered for years from neuralgia. I had been operated upon (the nerve divided and a part taken away), and most of the powerful medicines (morphia, calomel, strychnine, corro«ive sublimate), administered to me bv the Sydney medical men, which at last ended in 'entire paralysis of one side.' On the 17th March, Dr Grant commenced treating me. I had been conveyed eighty miles to him on a mattress on a waegon. On the 12th May ' I walked to his residoi-ce and paid my > ccount. I was then petfeci.ly well, and now, for four years after, I have had no return.'—" G. T." A new era In the philosophy of medical treatment has arisen. Dr Grant's is a wise compilation of Allopathic and Homcepathic medicine, with all trie mo h t important, new, and efficacious remedies from India and America,
