The skill of Dr. Wallenburg as an oculist has just been exhibited in a most satisfactory manner by his successful treatment of what was perhaps one of the most difficult cases which he has dealt with since his arrival in Invercargill. Eight or nine days ago a little girl, whose parents reside at Winton, was brought to town by a relative in the hope that relief might be afforded. The child, who had been under medical treatment, but without improvement, for about ten weeks previously, was found to be suffering from acute inflammation of the right eye. The sight seemed to be completely lost, and the doctor was at first doubtful as to whether he would be justifitd in taking the case in hand, but he finally decided to do so, and his efforts have resulted most happily, the little patient being now able to use the injured eye with as much freedom as the other, and her 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, 1879. The Eye and Ear.— Professor Wallen burgh is effecting some marvellous cures in. cases of blindness and deafness. At his invitation wa visited the consulting rooms at the Albion Hotel, yesterday morning, when we conversed with two or three out of a total of about thirty patients present. The first case brought under notice was that of James Robertson, of Morton Mains, who was suffering from heavy films in both eyes. He assured us that for the paat six years he had suffered acutely, and during four years of that period he had been under medical treatment without receiving any benefit—iu fact he went from had to worse. Placing himself under Professor Wallenburg's treatment he speedily cams round, and yesterday could distinctly see a hair at the ordinary reading distance. Richard Atkinson, of Invercargill, who had been treated iu Dunedin and Melbourne for impaired eyesight, nl?o here 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. XV. Jerrett. of Riverton, was the next patient introduced. She stated that she had been sn.ff-.ring from deafness for the last six yoars, "irl during that time her husband had expended something I'ke LlfJO in endeavoring to effect a cure. Under Professor Wallcn' iirg's treatment she had so far recovered her hearing that the could without difficulty hear a watch ticking. H. N. Bates was the next patient consulted; he had been totally deaf of one ear for fourteen years, t he deafness arising from an attack o? scarlet fever. In England 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 days, and could now hear perfectly well. Constable Buchanan also states that the oculist has succeeded in curing him of partial deafness. These 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 he has 75 patients under treatment We would strongly advise all who are afflicted with blindness or deafness to pay this oculist a visit, and at once, since his stay here is limited.— Southland Times, Nov. 25, 1879. The Evening Tribune, of October 18, ga y 3 : Professor Wallenburg and Dr. Grant have again effected some more marvellous cutes in blindness. The editor of this journal, accompanied by Mr. J. J. Connor, visited the oculists' consultingrooms at the Criterion Hotel this morning. The first person the editor conversed with was Daniel Mahoncy, a laborer, residing at Logan's Point, who stated that he had been totally blind for some two weeks, through a severe cold he had contracted. He had been under private treatment for a week, but lie 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 he is now recovering the sight of both eyes. John 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 under treatment at the Hospital, but without any beneficial result. He has been under Professor 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 inontli3, and had been in the Hospital under treatment, which, he siates, tended to make the rin'nfc eye wor.-:o, and to injure the left one. He went tinder VrcM>?sor Wallenburg's treatment on the Oth October, and now he is perfectly cured, and intends starting to follow his calling on Monday next. The cases that are instanced above are ones in which the patients went to the oculists entirely destitute of funds, and were treated out of simple humanity and charity; consequently, Professor Wallenburg and Dr. Grant are deserving of the thanks of the community for the kindness and charity displayed in these cases.—Tuapeka Times, November 15th, 1579. AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT. TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —You will much oblige me, as well a3 benefit the public in general, by inserting in your columns regarding the cure effected on my right eye, which was totally blind when I placed myself under the treatment of Drs. Grant and Wallenburg. I also found myself losing the sight of the left eye. I have now recovered my sight, and am going to work to-morrow. Out of gratitude to those gentlemen allow me to thank them, and hope all those suffering in the eyes may avail themselves of their skill. —I am, &c., Patrick Francis. Witness—W. J. Bawden, Logan's Point, Dunedin, 7th October, 1579. A WONDERFUL CURE. To Dr. Grant and Professor Wallenburg. Gentlemen, —Allow me to thank you for the wonderful cure you have performed in my case. I have been deaf for 20 years in the left ear, and ' 2 years in the right. I placed myself under your care on the 6th October. This day 1 am able to hear the ticking of a watch at a considerable distance from my ears, and am quite well. I hope all sufferers may be as fortunate as I have been. Thanking you again, I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, William Bracks. Peninsula, Dunedin, 10th October, 1879.
