TIMARU, From MONDAY, 22nd DECEMBER, 1879, till FRIDAY, 2nd JANUARY, ISSO. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Blindness and Deafness. The skill of Dr. Wallenburg as an oculist has just been exhibited in a most satisfactory manner by his successful treatment of what was pt-rhaps oao of the most difficult cases which he has dealt with siuce his arrival in luvercargill. Eight or nine days aCo a little girl, whose parents reside at Winton, was brought to town by a relative ill the hopn that rciicf might be afforded. The chilil, who had licen under medical treatment, but without improvement, for abou' 1 ' ten weeks previously, wa3 found to be suff. ring from acute inflammation of the right eye. The sight seemed to be completely lost, and the doctor was at first doubtful is to whether ho would be justified ;n faking the caso in hand, but he finally decide ! to do so, and his efforts have resulted most happily, the little patient being now able to use the inj'ired eye with as much freedom as the other, and relative, from whom the foregoing particulars were obtained, was to-day informed that she might be taken home to her parents.—Southland Daily News, Dec. 3rd, IS7O. The Eye ar.d Ear.— Professor Wallen bnrgh is effecting some marvellous cure 3 in cases of blrndcc33 and deafness. At his invitation we visited the consulting rooms at the Albion Hotel, yesterday morning, when we conversed with two or three out of a total of al'out thirty patients present. The first ca;e brought under notice was that of James Robertson, of Morton Mains, who was suffering from heavy films in both eye 3. He assured us that for the past six years he had suffered acutely, and during four years of that period he had boen under medical treatment without receiving any benefit—in fact he went from bad to worse. Placing himself under Professor Wallenburg's treatment ho speedily came round, and yesterday conld distinctly see a hair at the ordinary reading distance. Richard Atkinson, of Invercirgill, who had been treated in Duncdin and Melbourne for impaired evesight, also bore testimony to the Professor's skill. He had been totally blind of one eye, the other one being considerably affected, but could now distinguish the time on a clock a couple of chains off. Mrs. W. Jerrett, of Riverton, was the next patient introduced. She stated that she had been suffering from deafness for the last six yoars, and during that time her husband had'expended something like LI6O in endeavoring; to effect a cur',-. Under Professor \Vall'-*n"Urg'.s treatment she had so fir recovered hi.r hearing tha' she could without difficulty henr a watch ticking. H. N. Bates was thenoxt patient consulted: he had been totally deaf <>f one ear for fourteen years, the deafncs.s arising from an attack of scarlet fever. In Kngland his case was regarded as a hopeless one, and this was the more serious since the remaining one was commencing to sympathise with the affected one. He had only been under the Professor's treatment a few day?, and cou'd now hear perfectly well. Constable Buchanan also states that the oculist has succeeded in curing him of partial deafness. Thc.se are afe .v patients indiscriminately singled out from the patients in the consulting room, and they certainly go to show that the Professor is thoroughly up to his business. At present lie has 7o j.atients under treatment We would strongly ad vieallwhoareafilicted with blindness or dc .fness to pay this oculi-.t a visit, and at once, since his stay here is limited.— Southland Times, Nov. 25, 1579. The Kvnning Tribune, of October IS, savs : Professor Wallenburg and Dr. Grant have agiin effected some more marvellous cn;cs in blindness. The editor of this journal, accompanied by Mr. J. J. Connor, vi-sifed the oculists' consultingrooms at the Criterion Hotel this morning. The first person the editor conveised with was Daniel Mahoney, a laborer, residing at Logan's Point, who stated that he had been °totaliy blind for some" two weeks, through a severe cold he had contracted. He had been under private treatment for a week, but he got worse instead of better. He was brought to Professor Wallenburg on the 11th inst., and, since then he has been under this clever oculist's treatment, with the result that lie is now recovering the sight of both eyes. Jo'->n Chalmers, a brickmaker, residing at Pelichet Bay, stated that he had been blind of the right eye for over nine weeks, and the left one was beginning to become affected by the right one. He was nnder treatment at the Hospital, but without any beneficial result. He has been under Profersor Wallenburg's treatment three weeks, and can now discern the smallest object with both eyes. Patrick Connor, a miner, residing at Hindon, was the next patient consulted. He had been totally blind of the ri-ht eye for three months, and had been in the Hospital under treatment, which, he state, tended to make the right eye worse, and to injure the left one. He went under Professor Wallenburg's treatment on the oth October, and now he is perfectly cured, and intends starting to follow his" calling on Monday next. The that are instanced above arc ones in which the patients went to the oculists entirely destitute of funds, and were treated oat of simple humanity and charity ; consequently, Professor Wallenbnrg and Dr. Grant are deserving of the thanks of the community for the kindness and charity displayed in these eases.—Tuapeka Times, November 15th, 1579.
